This tour is ideal for anyone seeking a relaxed vacation with wonderful luxury resorts and fascinating cultural sightseeing.

Begin in the tropical city of Singapore. With an expert private guide, explore British colonial-era landmarks and neighborhoods in the European quarter, Little India, Chinatown, Arab Street and the Malay district. Browse local bazaars where daily activities take place around "wet" and "dry" markets. Explore tiny specialty shops and observe basket weavers and perfume makers at work. Follow Singapore's gourmet trail and enjoy a sumptuous Dim Sum lunch in a restored storehouse in Chinatown. Admire the quaint black and white historic townhouses and enjoy a walking tour through the beautiful Botanic Gardens. Tour the award-winning Night Safari at the Singapore Zoo, shop on Orchard Road, and browse Singapore's exciting Quay Districts. There will also be free time to enjoy legendary Raffles Hotel, a true urban resort.

Next, fly to Bali, a Hindu island best known for its traditional culture, friendly people, great beaches, and beautiful interior filled with terraced rice fields and jungle. Spend several days of luxury and beachside relaxation in Jimbaran Bay. A guide and driver will be at your disposal for a few hours each day, should you decide to venture to local shops and seafood restaurants. There will also be ample time for you to enjoy the resort's spa, beach, tennis, golf, water activities, and cooking school.

Continue inland to Ubud. With your guide, visit local villages renowned for their Balinese crafts. Also tour the studio’s of noted artists and craftsmen. Also explore outdoor markets, the Monkey Forest, Ubud’s most interesting museums and galleries, and Balinese water palaces and important temples. If desired, your tour will also include a private Balinese cooking class in a local home. During free time, enjoy Ubud’s many cafes and boutiques and take advantage of your resort’s spa and your decadent room with a private pool.

Next, travel with your private guide to eastern Bali, one of the island’s most traditional provinces. Spend two nights at an exclusive resort perched on a cliff high above the ocean near Candidasa. During flexible private touring, visit revered temples, royal palaces, and Balinese villages known for their weavings, silk and traditional architecture. Enjoy free time to relax on the beach or by the resort's spectacular tiered infinity pool overlooking the ocean, and dine on superb Balinese cuisine. This is also an excellent place for diving, sailing, and romantic sunset yacht rides—all of which we are happy to arrange, upon request.
