6 days - Beach resort, Ubud
This 6-day program pairs the beach with the lush foothills of Gianyar. Think of Bali, and images of long stretches of beach, tropical breezes, and gorgeous sunsets come to mind. Following this is crystal clear waters, warm sandy beaches, volcanoes, spiritual temples, colorful ceremonies, and mouth-watering cuisine. We begin with a stay at the beach, followed by a stay in the cooler climes of Ubud. Bali’s wonderful resorts cater to every whim. Jump into the pool to cool down, savor a tropical drink, indulge yourself with a treatment at the spa, stroll along the beach, dine under the stars, or take advantage of the many activities available. Away from the beach, in the midst of rice paddies and tranquil rivers, discover the serenity of Ubud; famous for arts and crafts and the many galleries and workshops around town. In the evening, Ubud has a wonderful variety of restaurants to enjoy, and a few nice places to enjoy a quiet drink at the end of the day.
