Bali Holidays
Fascinating culture; serene spirituality; blissful beaches; Bali has it all. Perfect for a laid back, luxury honeymoon, Bali boasts beautiful beaches and temples as well as trendy restaurants and the chance to see breathtaking sunsets in Seminyak and not forgetting the lush rice fields. It’s an island dream you’ll wish to never wake up from. We recommend twinning a relaxed beach break with a few nights in Bali’s cultural hub, Ubud. Or, why not island hop to the Gili Islands to enjoy a few nights of rustic, quirky island life with amazing snorkelling and diving.
With no direct flights to Bali from the Ireland, this is the perfect time to stop over in another one of our luxury destinations. Choose from the glittering skyline and shopping malls of Singapore, the bustling, vibrant streets of Bangkok or the desert metropolis of Dubai.

We could talk all day about Bali: its enticing satay skewers, its frangipani-filled spas and its blissful Seminyak sunsets. It’s not surprising so many people return from here feeling re-energised. We’ve no doubt you’ll feel the same affinity when you visit this idyllic Hindu province. The vision of enchanting temples and remarkable rice fields will be etched in your memory long after your return.

Explore Bali's beautiful temples
Ulun Danu Temple: Also known as Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, this Hindu water temple complex is one of Bali's most famous sights and is located in the mountainous area of Bedugul. The temple is comprised of several buildings, the most iconic of which consists of a tall tower punctuated by several horizontal 'roofs' descending in size as they reach the peak of the tower. Tanah Lot Temple: Pura Tanah Lot, meaning 'Land in the Sea' in Balinese is a rock formation with temple situated just off the west coast of Bali and has played a part in Balinese mythology since the 16th century. This popular tourist and cultural attraction is especially enjoyable to see at sunset.

Combine beaches and jungles
Bali isn't just about beaches, although there are plenty of beautiful ones to be found. Head inland to Ubud in the centre of the island and enjoy lush green landscapes, verdant river valleys and playful wild monkeys. No trip to Bali would be complete without exploring both landscapes and if you have the time we recommend spending at least 2 or 3 nights in Ubud. Many of the hotels here have amazing valley views and the only sound you'll hear is the humming of the crickets and the calling of the birds - the perfect jungle retreat.

Watch a cultural performance
Bali's rich spiritual and cultural heritage is both fascinating and endearing. Many hotels offer Balinese cultural shows, usually performed on an evening while you dine on local Indonesian cuisine. The cultural performances consist of various dances including the popular Barong dance which depicts the fight between good and evil with dancers in incredibly ornate outfits backed by a gamelan orchestra.

Pamper Yourself
Bali is renowned for its health and well being. In all resorts you will find an abundance of spa's with talented therapists offering a huge array of treatments for a fraction of the price you can expect to pay here in the UK. In addition to spa's there are plenty of wellness retreats on the island and you will find that most hotels also offer yoga classes. Across Bali you will find restaurants serving healthy cuisine including the popular 'acai bowl' breakfast which is basically a thick smoothie topped with oatmeal and fruit served in a bowl and eaten with a spoon.

If you have time, spend a few nights in the Gili Islands. These tiny islands have such a cool, rustic vibe and the snorkelling is amazing - the waters are crystal clear and you have a really good chance of seeing turtles.

To see more of the island I recommend booking a car and driver for the day, we can arrange this before you travel. I did this on my honeymoon and it was great because we could choose exactly where we wanted to go and how long we wanted to spend in each place.
