The mere mention of Bali evokes thoughts of a paradise. It's more than a place; it's a mood, an aspiration, a tropical state of mind. Join Travel Buddies as we venture to the island of Bali in Indonesia for a 13 day trip filled with relaxation and culture.
Day 1. Friday 1st November
After meeting at the airport we will meet the rest of the group and board our flight.Day 2. Saturday 2nd November
We will arrive at Denpasar airport in the morning and take our private transfer to our beautiful 4* hotel "Sri Rathi Cottages" in Ubud where we will be staying for 5 nights. We will be staying in suites with twin beds although if you wis to have a room to yourself although there is a supplement of £285 for the 10 nights that needs to be paid at the same time as the balance. There is free Wifi throughout the hotel and the rooms all have a balcony/terrace area, kettle and refrigerator.We can spend the rest of the day relaxing around the pool and settling in.
Dinner will be booked at a traditional restaurant local to the hotel.
Day 3. Sunday 3rd November
I have decided not to overload this trip with excursions as I am aware that the Travel Buddies that this type of trip appeals to will probably wish to spend a good amount of their time relaxing, being pampered and enjoying the peace and quiet and lush scenery. However, I have included a couple of activities that I hope will appeal to everyone and will have lots of information on what is available to do and see during our stay so trips can be booked whilst we are there.Dinner will be booked for the group most nights at local restaurants that are reasonable priced and serve traditional foods. The days where we have activities planned and get back to the hotel late, we can eat at the onsite restaurants or those that would prefer to venture out can do so. The food that we have had in the hotels and outside at other restaurants has been superb.
UBUD
Ubud is a far cry from the traditional tourist towns that make up the other hot spots on the island. Most of the people visiting Ubud do so because they want to immerse themselves in Balinese culture and the natural beauty of the island.Today we will head off after a leisurely breakfast for a guided day trip.
First we will visit Ulun Danu Bratan Temple (the temple of the royal family) Next is a leisurely drive through small villages, bamboo jungles and the spectacular terraced rice fields of Jatiluwih . These rice fields are beautiful enough to have been placed as a potential UNESCO world heritage site. There will be a stop during the day for lunch looking over the rice terraces
(not included).We next visit Taman Ayun and the last stop of the day is Tanah Lot which is one of Bali's most famous temples just in time to watch the sunset before being dropped back at the hotel at around 8pm.
Day 4. Monday 4th November
Today we will be taking a morning walk to the Monkey Park, it is well worth a visit although keep anything shiny in your bag or it might get pinched by a monkey! Entrance is a couple of pounds.There is lots to see in Ubud locally to the hotel, small museums and galleries, craft stalls that sell handmade goods and there is also a vast array of spas offering pampering treatments.
The pool area at the hotel is set amongst lush gardens so it might be a job to tear yourself away...
Dinner locally.
Day 5. Tuesday 5th November
Balinese spirituality is a big draw for the town of Ubud, so it shouldn't be surprising that many people who come to the region do so in order to learn some of the local yoga and meditation techniques.The yoga Barn in Ubud is a centre dedicated to healing and renewal and has over 15 classes a day that you can sign up too. They are reasonably priced and start from around £8.50 per class. The mosaic of daily classes and workshops include Yin, Acro, Classical Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Power, Yoga with Weights, Iyengar, Anusara Inspired, Tai Chi, and for those who are looking for relaxation, there is Gong Bath, Tibetan Bowls, Sound Healing, Restorative Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation and more.....
Take a look here for more information http://www.theyogabarn.com/ It looks amazing!
Those that would like to try a class will head here this morning, even if you have never tried yoga before it is a fantastic experience and there are classes for all levels. Gurus come from all over the world to teach classes here.
Rest of the day to relax.
Dinner Locally.
Day 6. Wednesday 6th November
After breakfast today we are off to explore some different areas on the island, first with a visit to Pura Ulan Danu Bratan, a 17th Century water temple that was built in honour of a lake goddess, the journey time is around 1 hour, entrance fee is not included.Our next stops are Coffee and Spice plantations in the Island where we can learn about the process involved in their cultivation and have the chance to try and even buy some ourselves.
Next we travel to the heart of the mount Batur caldera, to visit the Hot Springs. Heated deep within the earth, minerals from the colourless and odourless hot spring bring healing and curative powers. We have time to relax here, to enjoy the hot springs with the stunning mountain backdrop....
There is a bar and restaurant at the resort so we can get something to eat and drink as we please.
Return back to the hotel for our last evening in Ubud.
Day 7. Thursday 7th November
This morning after a leisurely breakfast we will say goodbye to Ubud and take a private transfer to southern Bali where we will be staying for 5 nights in Seminyak at the 4* "Amadea Resort" It features a spa and outdoor pool, and the rooms all come with flat-screen TVs. Free WiFi is accessible in all areas. Close to markets, bars and restaurants It is a very dynamic place, home to a wealth of creative, designer shops and galleries. Breakfast is included each morning.Day 8. Friday 8th November
Day as we pleasePerhaps a stroll to the beach if you don't fancy the pool today...
In the evenings we can head on out down to the beach and spend time relaxing at the array of superb bars and restaurants dotted along the ocean front.
Day 9. Saturday 9th November
There are lots of tours that can be booked from Seminyak for those that prefer to be a bit more active, you can book diving day trips and even go snorkelling with Sting Rays to Nusa Penida Island.Day 10. Sunday 10th November
