This itinerary features the best luxury resorts and most interesting cultural and scenic touring in Bali and on the neighboring island of Java.
Begin in Jimbaran Bay or Nusa Dua. Enjoy flexible touring with a private guide and driver, including temples such as Pura Tanah Lot and Pura Taman Ayun, time to browse upscale boutiques in Seminyak, and other highlights such as a visit to a local turtle conservation center. One evening, attend a Kecak dance performance at the cliffside temple of Pura Luhur Uluwatu.
Next, fly the short distance to Java and Yogyakarta, a city renowned for traditional arts, culture and education. During city touring with your private guide and driver, visit the sultan's palace, browse for traditional art and antiques at local galleries and boutiques, and explore fascinating Prambanan, a Hindu temple complex and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continue to spectacular Borobudur, the largest Buddhist temple in the world and another impressive UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stay at the extraordinary Amanjiwo resort, which is located in the lush hills overlooking Borobudur. With a private guide, tour Borobudur to learn about the history of the temple and its intricate stone carvings. Other touring options include hiking in the forested hills, biking to nearby villages, a horse-pulled carriage ride to local villages, meditation sessions at a local temple, and having a traditional meal at a private home. During free time, perhaps enjoy spa treatments or relax by the resort's pool, which is set among rice paddies.
Return to Bali and continue inland to Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali. With your private guide and driver, tour the region according to your interests: visit local artisan villages and the workshops of noted artists and craftsmen; peruse a local outdoor food market; see the incredible architecture at Green Village; visit the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary; explore Ubud's most interesting museums and art galleries; tour Balinese water palaces and important temples such as Goa Gajah (Elephant Cave) and Pura Gunung Kawi Sebatu; meet with a Balinese healer or spiritual leader; attend local festivals; or venture into the highlands to Pura Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, Kintamani and villages along the slopes of Mount Batur. One evening, attend a Balinese dance performance at Ubud's royal palace. During free time, enjoy the town's many cafes and boutiques, and take advantage of your private plunge pool and the resort spa. Artisans of Leisure can also arrange additional activities in the region, such as river rafting, hiking, biking, local craft workshops and cooking classes.
Continue to eastern Bali, one of the island's most traditional regions, for a stay at the exclusive Amankila resort, which perches on a cliff high above the ocean near Candidasa. During flexible touring with your private guide and driver, visit royal palaces, revered temples such as Pura Besakih on sacred Mount Agung, and Balinese villages known for their high-quality weavings and traditional architecture. Also see terraced rice fields and other beautiful landscapes. One day, enjoy an afternoon cruise (including the option for snorkeling) off the coast of Eastern Bali. During free time, relax on the beach or by the resort's spectacular tiered infinity pool overlooking the ocean. If desired, Artisans of Leisure can also arrange hiking or biking through verdant rice paddies, as well as diving or sailing excursions.

Our Indonesia trip was perfect. I will always be using Artisans of Leisure in the future for any trips. Everything was seamless, and the guides were the best!

Our honeymoon to Bali and Java was incredible…I am already thinking of our next trip but it will be tough to beat this one — we feel so spoiled!
