Go from a lush Ubud oasis in Bali’s cultural heart to a remote retreat in a protected reserve, followed by a pool villa in surfy Canggu, with private transfers, massages and more.
Ubud
Your first stay will be at the restorative Plataran Ubud Hotel & Spa, overlooking working rice fields. There are no two ways about it: green reigns supreme in Bali’s lush heartland. Ubud is also a hub for Balinese art and craftwork – you’ll find the town dotted with intriguing art galleries and museums showcasing the works of both classical and contemporary artists. The rise of cafe culture in Ubud also means you’ll never be far from good coffee and quick bites. For something completely out of the ordinary, pay a visit to the Sacred Monkey Temple – a sanctuary for Ubud’s colony of crab-eating macaques.
Distance from Ngurah Rai International airport: 35km
West Bali National Park
Next, transfer to the protected West Bali National Park for another step into nature. All about preserving the beauty of its landscape, Plataran Menjangan Resort & Spa offers unforgettable excursions that educate and give you a glimpse of untouched places few have seen. Trek through the jungle to learn about the wildlife, scuba dive in colourful reefs, and kayak through mangroves with a guide to discover more about the island’s diverse ecosystem.
Distance from Ubud: 140km
Canggu
The third instalment in your trio of will take you to an idyllic coastal region dubbed by Condé Nast Traveller as “the Bali beach hotspot everyone’s talking about”. North of Seminyak’s more popular beaches, you’ll find peace on the uncrowded shores of Batu Belig and Batu Bolong Beach. If you’re keen on exploring more of this untouched part of Bali, it’s worth visiting the nearby Tanah Lot Temple. This ancient shrine sits upon rocky outcropping just off the coast and is accessible only during low tide.
