Uluwatu · Ubud · the northern hills
A complete seven-day journey through Bali's most distinct corners — the surf and sunsets of the south, the jungle calm of Ubud, and the waterfalls and dolphins of the north. Every villa, driver and reservation is arranged before you land.
This is Bali seen properly — not one hotel, but a route. You begin on the southern clifftops for surf, sunsets and beach-club evenings, move north into Ubud's rice terraces and temples, then finish among the cool waterfalls and quiet coast of the island's far north. Three bases, gentle drives between them, and a private driver, guide and concierge holding it all together. You unpack a little as you go and let the island reveal itself in order.
Your week opens on the Bukit peninsula — a clifftop villa above Uluwatu, a welcome wellness ritual, and the Kecak fire dance at the temple as the sun drops. The days that follow are the coast at its best: a private surf lesson on the southern breaks, beachfront lunches, and unhurried afternoons through the boutiques of Seminyak and Canggu before dinner at the tables worth booking.
From the coast you climb into the green heart of the island. Ubud brings sunrise over the Tegalalang terraces, a private cooking class, the Sacred Monkey Forest and long spa afternoons; a full day east reaches Besakih, Tirta Gangga and the gates of Lempuyang. Then north to Munduk for waterfall treks and, on the final morning, dolphins off Lovina before the drive back to the airport.
A complete route from arrival to departure — a starting point we reshape around your dates and pace.
Private transfer from Ngurah Rai airport (around 45 minutes) to a clifftop villa in Uluwatu, a welcome wellness ritual, the Kecak fire dance at Uluwatu Temple at dusk, and a private cliffside dinner to close the first night.
A private surf lesson on the southern breaks, a beachfront lunch, an afternoon among the boutiques of Seminyak and Canggu, and a fine-dining evening on the coast.
A scenic drive of about 1.5 hours into the hills, a sunrise visit to the Tegalalang rice terraces, check-in to a jungle resort, a private Balinese cooking class, and an evening of traditional dance.
A private yoga and meditation session, a morning through Ubud's art galleries, a farm-to-table lunch, the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, and a 90-minute traditional Balinese massage to end the day.
A full day east to Besakih, Bali's mother temple on the flank of Mount Agung, the Kintamani highlands with a lakeside lunch, the water gardens of Tirta Gangga, and the celebrated gates of Lempuyang.
Transfer to Munduk in the cool northern hills, a guided trek to the Sekumpul and Banyumala twin waterfalls, and a private dinner at your mountain retreat.
An early dolphin-watching tour off Lovina, or a coffee-plantation morning with tastings, a final breakfast, a closing spa treatment, then the transfer (around three hours) back to the airport.
Per couple for seven days and six nights, excluding international flights. Where you land depends on villa choice, season and how many private experiences you add — your exact figure is confirmed before you commit.
A typical seven-day package covers the following. Anything can be added, removed or upgraded.
What travellers ask before booking the full week.
The seven-day journey starts from $2,900 per couple in comfortable-luxury villas and rises to around $3,600 for the five-star signature build. At its private-estate level — the calibre of Capella Ubud and Mandapa — it begins near $7,000 per couple. International flights are separate.
Six nights of villa or suite accommodation, a private driver for the whole route, every experience named in the itinerary, reservations, a closing spa treatment and 24/7 concierge support. Flights, the visa on arrival and the tourist levy sit outside the figure.
Yes. The identical seven-day shape — south coast, Ubud, northern hills — can be built in excellent private-pool villas from the $2,900–$3,600 range per couple, trimming a few premium touches while keeping the journey intact.
Three distinct regions, each with its own base: the Uluwatu clifftops and southern beaches, green Ubud, and the northern highlands around Munduk and Lovina. You settle into each in turn rather than moving hotels every night.
Comfortably. Drives between bases run from about 90 minutes to three hours, spaced with unhurried mornings, so the week feels full but never rushed. It can also be stretched to nine or ten days if you'd like more room.
Every day is a starting point. Tell your designer what you'd rather do more or less of — surf, temples, spa or waterfalls — and the week is reshaped around your dates and pace.
