This comprehensive introductory tour of Bali allows you to experience the incredible culture and beauty this island has to offer.

Begin with pure luxury and beachside relaxation in Jimbaran Bay or Nusa Dua. One evening, attend a Kecak dance performance at the cliffside temple of Pura Luhur Uluwatu. There will also be time for you to enjoy the resort’s spa, beach, golf, yoga, water activities and superb restaurants.
Continue inland to Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali. With your private guide and driver, tour the region according to your interests: visit local artisan villages and the workshops of noted artists and craftsmen; peruse a local outdoor food market; visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary; see the incredible architecture at Green Village; explore Ubud’s most interesting museums and art galleries; tour Balinese water palaces and important temples such as Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave) and Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu; meet with a Balinese healer or spiritual leader; attend local festivals; and venture into the highlands to Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Kintamani and villages along the slopes of Mount Batur. One evening, attend a Balinese dance performance at Ubud’s royal palace. During free time, enjoy the town’s many cafes and boutiques, and take advantage of your private plunge pool and the resort spa. Artisans of Leisure can also arrange additional activities in the region, such as river rafting, hiking, biking, local craft workshops and cooking classes.

Continue to eastern Bali, one of the island’s most traditional regions, and the exclusive Amankila resort, which perches on a cliff high above the ocean near Candidasa. During flexible touring with your private guide and driver, visit royal palaces, revered temples such as Pura Besakih on sacred Mount Agung, and Balinese villages known for their high-quality weavings and traditional architecture. Also see terraced rice fields and other beautiful landscapes.
