This itinerary features in our Top 10 Romantic Holidays.
This itinerary is the ultimate romantic getaway, perfect for honeymooners or couples looking for quiet, quality time together. We have hand-picked the best hotels to combine a 5-star service, opulent comfort, privacy and an intimate ambience, with the beauty and splendour of Indonesia.
Arrive in the colourful and enchanting island of Bali and take a scenic drive to your hotel, a haven nestled in a valley just outside the Hindu town of Ubud. Surrounded by rainforest, rivers and mountain backdrops, spend the next few days touring the local markets, picnicking in rice paddies, or going for bike rides into the hills. Next, travel to Manggis, a very quiet corner of Bali, and the perfect place for sitting back and soaking up the atmosphere in a regal, classic setting.
From here you will take a short boat ride to Lombok, the smaller neighbour of Bali. This island has a slower pace of life, but with vivid and exciting island interiors and fronted by a coastline perfect for snorkelling. After three days in Lombok, take a flight over to Labuan Bajo to board your very own yacht and set sail to the Komodo Islands. The phinisi-style luxury boat Alexa gives you the ultimate freedom to explore this region as you wish; diving the incredible coral reefs and visiting the resident Komodo Dragons.
On your last night Alexa will begin her journey to Nihiwtau in Sumba, The Forgotten Island. Nihi Sumba Island is a hotel like no other. Private luxurious pool villas lined up along a fantastic coastline and backed by a rural landscape full of tiny farming villages. The list of activities here is extensive so you are able to plan your days exactly to your tastes. Relax and indulge in the reliable first-rate service of this heavenly resort.
This holiday is purely a suggested itinerary. It can be booked as is, or alternatively used as a starting point for creating your own perfect tailor-made tour of Indonesia.
