Join us to uncover the secrets of Bali and the islands of Komodo. Experience a life-changing journey that focuses on creating opportunities to re-connect, as much or as little, with yourself. Indonesia is easily the best destination for transformative and experiential travel, which this journey includes, in just the right amounts.
Adding to the balance of this experience, we explore fascinating cultures, embark on fun outdoor activities, immerse ourselves in Balinese culture, and taste impeccable Indonesian cuisine. And let us not forget about the daily massages and yoga classes at our breathtaking villa. Our chefs and hosts are waiting to introduce you to the magical beauty of these islands!
Discover the Balinese way of life and rejuvenate with transformative experiences and massages. Our calm, peaceful villas provide a sacred space for inner reflection and relaxation. Expect to be pampered throughout on this flexible Journey of Renewal.
Should you feel like being active, choose from volcano hiking, biking the rice paddies, trekking the jungle, yoga sessions, snorkeling, and so many more options in this breathtaking environment. Choose to do as much or as little as you want on this journey.
In Indonesia, experience a culture where outright anger leads to a loss of respect from the community. Where life rotates around religious ceremonies and the power of nature. Upholding traditions is entrenched in society and witnessing this is a humbling experience itself. Discover a way of life where embracing each moment is very much at the forefront.
Joining a small, curated journey by Art In Voyage is always a chance to grow your circle of friends; from the like-minded guests which we carefully group together, to your people-loving Art In Voyage hosts. In Bali, however, you will find that circle quickly expands to the friendly and outgoing locals of Indonesia, always eager to welcome you into their hearts, and into their homes.
After a private transfer from the airport, you are greeted at your home for the next five nights - a picturesque estate nestled into the slopes of Ubud’s scenic Sayan Ridge, overlooking a wide tapestry of rice paddies bordering the Ayung River. Take your time soaking in your surroundings and shake off the jetlag with an afternoon of massages and pampering. Tonight, our Balinese chef has prepared an authentic dinner to welcome us to beautiful Bali!
As you wake up to your first morning in Bali, choose to join a yoga session, or treat yourself to a more laid-back start of your day. Midday, we head to the valley where an afternoon of white water rafting through the jungle awaits. On returning to the villa, unwind with an authentic Javanese massage or feed your inner wanderlust with an exploration of Ubud town, escorted by your complimentary driver. A well-deserved dinner is served at our villa.
After an optional morning routine of yoga, we make our way to the amazing Alila Ubud for a fascinating traditional cooking class with our local chef. Lunch is served and followed with a mixology class, blending local ingredients to create deliciously cheeky cocktails. We end the day with a short trek in the local rice terraces and jungles, ending at a Luwak farm for a tasting of the most expensive coffee in the world. Tonight, dinner is served at the property.
For the more courageous members of our group, a 2.30 AM wake-up call followed by a sunrise Volcano Hike has been planned. Others may opt for the 8 AM departure on a biking tour, discovering a different perspective of life on the island. If your body is telling you to relax, listen to it - take time to relax in the peaceful surroundings of the property for the day. A visit to the town of Ubud town using our complimentary transfers is on offer. Tonight, we are hosted at the Michelin level restaurant MOZAIC for an incredible private tasting experience.
After our routine of yoga and fitness, enjoy the rest of the morning at leisure. An afternoon of both transformative and experiential travel then begin! We meet up with our spiritual guide to learn more about Balinese spirituality. Our afternoon then takes us to local temples and a visit to a local family home. Here, immerse yourself in the essence of Balinese life and culture. We then head to a traditional Hindu bath whose sacred springs are said to possess curative properties. Another massage and an incredible Indonesian-inspired dinner conclude the day.
This morning, we embark on a one-hour flight to our next destination in Indonesia, the Komodo Islands, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This chapter of our journey is beach-based and water-orientated, which kicks off with a grand entrance by boat to our very own private island - a glimpse of paradise on earth. An authentic definition of tropical barefoot luxury at its finest. After a light lunch and a massage, spend the rest of your day strolling the lazing away with a cocktail on hand at the resort’s private beach, or however, you wish.
Today, we have fun-packed adventures and encounters planned! The day starts off with a hike to Manta Point to reach breathtaking viewpoints. We continue with a ranger-led trek to meet the local "dragons" and learn about their habitat. A picnic spread on the pink sandy beach and an afternoon snorkeling the rich waters of the surrounding islands. Dinner is served at the restaurant.
On this last day in Indonesia, enjoy some of the complimentary activities on offer at the resort (including some spectacular snorkeling off the beach), have one of your complimentary massages, or allow our concierge to schedule scuba diving, cruising, hiking and much more. Tonight, we hold our farewell dinner on the beach, accompanied by a mesmerizing stargazing experience.
This morning, we bid farewell to our guests. Bags packed, hugs exchanged, and you are off! A private transfer takes you to the airport for your connection in Bali, or Jakarta. Your heart may not be ready to leave this magical part of the world, and if that's the case, we will gladly assist in extending your stay in Indonesia or beyond.
