Arrive at Denpasar airport and transfer to Ubud, a hilltop town north of Denpasar, set in a rolling landscapé of verdant rice paddies and ravines. Ubud is famous for its painting school. Despité the exponential tourist development it has undergone in recent years, the city has managed to preserve its tranquillitý and beautý. The rest of the day is free.

This morning you visit Ubud Palace - a historic complex emblematic of Balinese history where the royal family once resided. Just opposite is the artisanal market́, where you can find all sorts of souvenirs. Stop at the village of Tampaksiring, to visit the Gunung Kawi temples. This is probably Bali's most impressive site, with the 9 tombs of King Wungsu's family carved into the cliff. Visit Tirta Empul and its sacred pools where hundreds of Balinese come every day to purify themselves. Continue on to Penelokan, a high-altitude village with a breathtaking view of the lake and the Batur volcano. You will have lunch on the edge of the Batur caldera (lunch not included) and enjoy an exceptional panorama. You then head for the Temple of Kehen. Return to Ubud in the early evening, where you will be free to wander around the village.

You will visit Pura Taman Ayun, a state temple located in Mengwi. It is one of the only temples where the royal ancestral divinities are celebrated. Its peaceful gardens, its architecture with its line of groupers make it a place where calm and serenitý reign. Transfer to Jatiluwih, a small village in the middle of Bali's most beautiful rice fields, in the central-western part of the island. In the early afternoon, you'll embark on a superb hike through the veritable ocean of rice terraces that surround you. You will also visit the superb Hindu-Buddhist temple of Ulun Danau. This is an enchanting place, with its huge banyan tree at the entrance and its superb gardens. One of the temples is set on a small island, its 11-storey roof elegantly reflected in the waters of the lake. To round off the day, you take the pulse of Bedugul's picturesque market́, before returning to your nearby hoteĺ.

Today, the focus is on traditions and sharing. Total immersion in everyday Balinese life: cooking, making offerings, dancing, music… At the heart of a Balinese family, you will go to the market́, to buy the ingredients needed to prepare the meal. You then return home, where you will spend the majoritý of the day exchanging ideas and taking part in the various activities of everyday Balinese life: making coffeé, preparing offerings. You will then take part in a cooking class, which you will taste. In the early afternoon, take a walk through the village and the surrounding countryside. Return home for a farewell tea with your hosts… A day full of sharing! In the late afternoon, you will discover the temple of Tanah Lot, which means "Land of the Sea" in Balinese. It stands on an islet beaten by the ocean waves, and is a popular place of pilgrimage for tourists and photographers. The temple of Tanah Lot was built in the 16th century on the advice of the famous Javanese priest Danghyang Nirartha, to pay homage to the guardian spirits of the sea. This remarkable site also boasts one of the most splendid sunsets on the island.

After breakfast, transfer by car provided by the speed boat company to the port of Padangbai. There you will take the speed boat to Gili Air. On arrival, we recommend that you hire a horse-drawn cart ("Cidomo") - service not included - to take you to your hotel. You can then enjoy a massage or cocktail by the sea, if you wish. Evening at leisure.

The morning is free for you to explore the island on foot or by bike. This walk will allow you to discover the island's most tranquil beaches, as well as the small restaurants and bars along the water's edge. Grab your mask and snorkel and set off from the beach to discover the seabed. There are plenty of fish on Gili, but that's not all. During your snorkelling trip, you're likely to come across several turtles, considered to be the island's oldest inhabitants. And if you prefer to be with your better half, grab a cocktail or a fresh coconut and relax with your feet in the sand. That's what the Gili are for too!

After breakfast, free time until you board your speedboat for Bali. Transfer provided by the boat company to your hotel. Settle in and the rest of the day is free.

The morning is devoted to a pleasant 3-hour walk around Sidemen, through highland plantations and rice fields. During this walk, you will pass by a number of hamlets where you can meet the local population, and cross an old suspension bridge. The vegetation is luxuriant and the landscape very exotic. You then visit the temple of Besakih. Situated on the misty slopes of Mount Agung at an altitude of 1,000 metres, it is the island's most important temple, comprising a religious complex of 22 separate temples spread over seven terraces. With its 11-storey "meru" roofs, almost constant religious ceremonies and "sea and mountains" viewpoint, this temple is surely one of the most spiritual. It is also the oldest and most revered templé in Bali.

Continue on to the Goa Lawah cave. Founded in 1007 by Empu Kuteran, it is reputed to bring good luck. It is one of Bali's nine directional temples (known as "kayangan jagat"), which protect the island from evil spirits. The main attraction is the colony of bats and the legends associated with them. Next, a short stop at the fishing village of Kusamba, to discover its black sandy beach and traditional salt harvesting methods. Next, in the town of Klungkung, you will visit the court of justice, where the punishments formerly meted out to outlaws are depicted as threats hanging over the heads of the accused. You then continue on to Sanur, arriving in the afternoon. Check-in at the hotel and evening at leisure.

Free day in Sanur, one of Bali's oldest seaside resorts, but one that has retained its charm and refinement. Sanur's beaches stretch for several kilometres: ideal for a stroll along the water's edge. Sanur's main street is a goldmine of small shops and good restaurants. Take advantage of your free time as a couple or with the family to swim in the pool or in the sea, discover Balinese massages, stroll along the beach or in the centre… Dinner and evening at leisure (car and driver extra)
