Singapore & Bali

On holidays to Singapore, ancient and modern collide to create a modern metropolis with masses to see and do. Perched on the edge of the Malaysian peninsula, this city state has a colourful colonial history that's left marks from all over the globe. From grand, historical buildings to glossy skyscrapers, top notch shopping to safaris in the dark, this place has got it all.

No visit here is complete without a signature Singapore Sling in Raffles Hotel, but there's plenty to discover beyond the grandeur. Take a cruise in the harbour, visit the diverse neighbourhoods and delve into Singapore's past. When all that exploration exhausts you, make a beeline for Sentosa Island, where you'll find deliciously white beaches and sumptuous spas.

Ubud is located in the uplands of Bali and is famous as a centre for traditional art, culture, and dance. Surrounding the town you'll find lush rainforest and terraced rice paddies dotted with Hindu temples and shrines.

Get up close to the resident long-tailed macaques monkeys at Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary and a plethora of colourful birds at Bali Bird Park. Bathe in the holy waters at Tirta Empul water temple or marvel at the Tegenungan and Kanto Lampo Waterfalls.

Take a leisurely stroll along Campuhan Ridge Walk at sunset, admire the views from Tegalalang Rice Terrace, or escape to the tranquil surrounds of Saraswati Temple. Art lovers can make a beeline for Blanco Renaissance Museum, Puri Lukisan Museum, Neka Art Museum, Agung Rai Museum of Art, and Ubud Art Market. Watch a traditional Balinese dance performance at Puri Saren Royal Ubud Palace. Go water rafting on the rapids of Ayung River or embark on a thrilling Bali Eco Cycling tour to Mt Batur and beyond.
