- Four nights at The Kayana Beach Lombok in a contemporary Deluxe Villa
- Three nights at Royal Santrian Luxury Beach Villas in a sea-facing Deluxe Villa
- Daily gourmet breakfast inspired by local ingredients

Ubud, Bali: The Viceroy’s Jungle Sanctuary
Your four-night sojourn begins at The Viceroy Bali, perched on a cliff above the Ayung River valley. Every Pool Suite offers a private heated plunge pool surrounded by lush jungle canopy, sunken daybeds for morning coffee and an open-air bathroom that blends seamlessly with nature. Hand-crafted teak furniture, local artisan textiles and richly scented frangipani blossoms immerse you in Balinese artistry from the moment you arrive.
Included in your stay is a pay-for-three, stay-for-four night offer. Spend mornings floating in your plunge pool, afternoons sampling vegan Balinese cuisine at CasCades, and evenings unwinding with a Lulur royal spa ritual. Other options include a dawn trek up Mount Batur, where you’ll sip coffee atop an active volcano as the sun rises, or a private cycling tour through emerald-green rice terraces and village workshops.
Lombok’s Hidden Charms: The Kayana Beach
After savoring Ubud’s cultural tapestry, a shared speedboat transports you to Lombok’s pristine southern coast. The Kayana Beach delivers barefoot luxury at its finest. Your Deluxe Villa’s private plunge pool overlooks swaying palms and powder-white sand. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors open fully to merge indoor living with the sea breeze, and a complimentary back-and-shoulder massage soothes the travel weariness within minutes of arrival.
Your package includes a 10 percent saving on the villa rate, inviting you to stretch out by your pool with a signature cocktail. Venture out to the Gili Islands for world-class snorkeling amid kaleidoscopic coral reefs, chart a waterfall safari to Tiu Kelep or Sendang Gile, or simply savor sunset beach barbecues served with freshly caught fish and local sambal.
Nusa Dua Elegance: Royal Santrian Luxury Beach Villas
The final chapter unfolds on Nusa Dua’s immaculate shores at Royal Santrian. In this intimate 20-villa haven, every residence features an eight-metre private pool, oversized sun loungers and daily minibar replenishment. With a 20 percent saving already applied, your three nights include 24-hour butler service, beachfront yoga sessions and sunset cocktails at Senada Restaurant, where clifftop vistas meet Michelin-inspired cuisine.
Days here flow at your pace. Begin with tai chi by the water’s edge, indulge in a coconut-oil Balinese massage in an open-air pavilion, and choose between sea kayaking, paddleboarding or a private sunset cruise. For cultural immersion, we can arrange a gamelan music performance in-villa or a guided tour of nearby Uluwatu Temple, complete with a traditional Kecak fire dance at dusk.
