Indonesia / Bali

Ubud rice terraces and the southern beaches

Honeymoons·Wellness·Surfing
The brief

Bali, slowly — Ubud rice terraces, the southern beaches and a Sumba close.

Bali for the spiritual interior (Amandari, Como Shambhala in Ubud) and the coastal design (Bulgari in Uluwatu). Then a short flight east to Sumba (Nihi) for the most awarded resort week in Asia.

Pair with a Komodo yacht charter, or with Singapore as a stopover.
