Blissful Bali

If you’re looking for a tropical escape this December, how about a trip to Bali? This Indonesian island paradise is a year-round destination and, while you will need to prepare for occasional downpours, you can also expect long stints of marvellous sunshine. Our 12-day itinerary blends three key aspects of any Bali getaway. The first is unique cultural experiences, such as placing your own handmade offering in a sacred temple, taking a traditional cooking class and experiencing a Balinese blessing ceremony. The second is outdoor adventure, which will be taken care of as we trek through rice paddies, snorkel with sea turtles and summit Mount Batur at sunrise. The last, of course, is relaxation, which comes in the form of our little jaunt to the tiny island of Gili Trawangan, where a luxurious beach resort awaits. Book a massage, hit the beach or just chill at the infinity pool – the choice is yours.
