If you are travelling to Bali I recommend you don’t just head for a beach resort. You can visit Ubud and the smaller outer islands such as Lombok or Java. This wonderful holiday idea offers the visitor one of the best experiences in Indonesia. The best weather in Bali is during our summer.

Stay for 2 nights at COMO Uma Ubud - an oasis of calm situated in the uplands of Bali, a centre of traditional crafts and dance

Followed by a fantastic 7 night sailing on the Star Clipper on a full board basis in a Category 6 cabin (upgrades available) to explore the REAL Bali and other parts of Indonesia

On arrival back to Bali, enjoy a real chill-out at the beautiful Belmond Jimbaran Puri, staying for 3 nights on a bed and breakfast basis – situated in Jimbaran Bay, Bali’s best beach
