Visit the island of the gods in Indonesia

After a long flight, it's a good idea to spend a couple of days in the Bali region before embarking on other adventures. The Bukit Peninsula is within easy reach of the airport, making it a good starting point. To begin with, we recommend you take advantage of Bali's magnificent beaches. The coasts of the southern tip of the island offer a special charm that attracts a high-end clientele. Nusa Dua, a lively resort, is the perfect place to relax and party.

There are a variety of superb beaches to explore in this part of the island, such as Karma Beach, which is accessible by funicular from the Sunday Beach Club in Ungasan. Karma Beach is famous for its white sand and turquoise water. The calm, shallow waters are perfect for swimming, especially with young children. Every day brings its own entertainment, including film nights on Mondays, rosé tastings on Fridays and barbecues every day from 3pm to 6pm.

On your second day in Bukit, visit the Uluwatu temple. Situated on a cliff by the sea, it's the ideal place to enjoy a sunset in southern Bali. You can combine the cultural visit with the Kecak dance show, which takes place every evening at sunset, around 6pm, in the open-air amphitheatre at the heart of the temple. Kecak is pronounced "Ketchak".

After spending a few days in the south of Bali, it's time to head to the centre of the island to visit Ubud . This town, perched high up on the island, is a must-see. In the heart of the town, there are plenty of bars, cafés and restaurants for you to enjoy. For your first day in Ubud, visit Monkey Forest, a monkey sanctuary where you can observe these fascinating animals. In the afternoon, head to Ubud Palace, also known as Puri Saren Agung, one of Bali's major historical complexes, which was of great importance in the 1800s.

The most talented Balinese artists used to come to Ubud to exhibit their work. The palace isn't huge, but it's packed with interesting works of art that you can take your time admiring. The walls and doors are decorated with intricate carvings of demon faces, resembling stone frogs. In the rear courtyard, a doorway features incredible designs, such as gold winged flowers and stone monkey sculptures. A 15-minute tour will take you all the way round the palace.

On the second day, devote yourself to a visit to the sacred temple of Pura Tirta Empul, where Hindus purify their souls. In the afternoon, continue your journey to the Tegenungan Waterfall, a breathtaking natural site where you can take a dip.

Finally, on your third day, set off to explore the Tegallalang rice terraces , a wonderful place for photographers. Hike through the rice fields to discover the ingenuity of the irrigation system and meet the local farmers. If you still have some energy left, head to Pakudui village to discover the magnificent wood carvings made by local craftsmen, a great place to buy souvenirs.

Heading north, Munduk is an essential stop-off on the way to Ubud, offering exceptional landscapes that are a delight for hikers, so spend your first two days discovering the natural wonders that border this small village perched at an altitude of 800 metres. Check out the famous waterfalls such as the Lubauan Webo waterfall, the Melanting waterfall and the Laagan waterfall.

After all that sport, the third day in Munduk will be devoted to relaxing and bathing in the Git Git hot springs. After a short walk through the valley, you will reach these natural hot springs, offering a unique moment of relaxation in the midst of nature. This unforgettable experience is a real highlight and the perfect way to round off your trip to Munduk.

To round off your 10-day trip to Bali, head back to the south of the island to spend the last few days close to the airport, just ten kilometres away. The coastal village of Legian, nestled between two major tourist towns - Seminyak and Kuta - is a popular seaside destination for relaxing on golden beaches and enjoying water sports. You'll also find plenty of local and artisanal shops, as well as big-name stores, for shopping.

In the centre of Legian, there are numerous cafés and restaurants where you can spend lively evenings in a friendly atmosphere. In addition, the famous Kuta Beach links all three towns, offering surfers a popular long beach. Spend your first day at Waterbom Bali, regarded as one of Asia's best water parks and a popular attraction in Bali for visitors of all ages. The park's attractions include water slides, wave pools, artificial rivers and children's areas. As well as water activities, the park also offers catering services and private cabins for hire to relax and unwind.

On your second day in Legian, treat yourself to a surf lesson on Legian beach, close to the Pullman Bali Legian Beach Resort. With the Pulau Biru Surf school, you can ride the waves for between 1 and 4 hours, whatever your level. After a briefing on water safety, you can grab your board and jump into the water. Your instructor will help you time your launches and catch your first waves. His personal attention will help you progress quickly.
