New Year Holidays in Bali

Your journey begins with a personal airport pickup. From there, you leave the busy arrival area behind and head towards Ubud — Bali’s cultural heart.

You’ll be staying at Ayung Resort Ubud, set above the Ayung River, the island’s main waterway. There’s no city noise here — only the sounds of the rainforest and the river below. On arrival, you’ll be welcomed with a refreshing drink and seasonal fruit before settling into your Deluxe room.

The evening is yours to ease into the island’s rhythm. After a long flight, there’s nothing better than relaxing in the infinity pool overlooking the canyon. Watch the sunset from the water and let the atmosphere of the jungle set the tone for the days ahead.

After breakfast, your private transfer will take you to the center of Ubud. This is where Balinese culture comes alive in everyday details — from ceremonial processions and vibrant traditional outfits to women gracefully carrying offering baskets on their heads.

How to spend your day:

• browse the colorful local markets and artisan streets, where you’ll find unique handmade décor and jewelry;

• settle into a cozy café and watch the rhythm of daily life unfold;

• soak in the atmosphere of a place that draws people from around the world in search of inspiration and spiritual practices;

• wander along scenic walking paths through lush rice terraces;

• visit some of Ubud’s renowned museums — galleries like Blanco Renaissance Museum and Puri Lukisan Museumoffer a deeper look into Bali’s art, history, and refined aesthetic.

In the evening, take it slow and get some rest. Tomorrow marks the start of a more active part of your journey — a tour through Bali’s royal palaces awaits.

Day three is dedicated to exploring Bali’s royal heritage and spiritual traditions, accompanied by a guide. Your journey begins at one of the island’s most iconic “temples in the clouds,” where sweeping views open up over a majestic volcano. From there, continue to elegant water palaces, where European classical elements blend seamlessly with traditional Balinese design.

After a full day of temples and palaces, you’ll unwind at a secluded white-sand beach with clear turquoise water. It’s the perfect place for a swim and a moment of quiet relaxation.

In the evening, return to your hotel and enjoy the calm — whether it’s dinner at a scenic restaurant or a peaceful moment by the pool.

Main points of the route:

• The temple in the clouds, Pura Lempuyang;

• Tirta Gangga;

• Royal palaces of Taman Ujung;

• Goa Lavah;

• Virgin beach.

This day is intentionally left open so you can spend it exactly the way you like.

Choose what fits your mood:

• Open-air yoga
  The hotel offers beautiful spaces overlooking the canyon. Even if you’ve never tried yoga before, this is the perfect place to start — with beginner-friendly sessions set to the sounds of the waking rainforest.

• Go back to what caught your eye
  Maybe it was a painting in a gallery, a hand-carved mask on one of Ubud’s artisan streets, or a café you didn’t have time to visit. Now’s your chance to return and enjoy it properly.

• A spontaneous outing
  Still in the mood to explore? We’ll be happy to arrange a taxi or private transfer to anywhere in town that wasn’t included in the main itinerary.

• Total relaxation
  Sleep in, take your time over breakfast, and spend a slow afternoon by the pool, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of the Ayung River valley.

Day five is all about Bali’s natural beauty and your transition to the southern coast. The morning begins with visits to three of the most scenic waterfalls near Ubud. Hidden in lush canyons, these multi-tiered cascades, cool natural pools, and powerful streams offer a refreshing connection with nature.

The journey continues through the famous rice terraces — the perfect setting for photos surrounded by endless shades of green.

In the evening, you’ll be transferred to Nusa Dua, Bali’s premier coastal resort area. Please make sure to bring all your luggage, as the next part of your stay will be at a beachfront hotel. After a full day of exploring, unwind with a walk along the shore or a quiet dinner accompanied by the ocean breeze.

Main points of the route:

• kanto lampo waterfall;

• tibumana waterfall;

• tukad cepung waterfall;

• tegallalang rice terraces.

Accommodation: Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa, Bali 5* Superior Room

Today you will enjoy a free day in Nusa Dua. Spend your time by the ocean, relax by the pool, or enjoy the hotel’s spa facilities.

In the evening, the New Year’s Eve celebrations begin. A festive gala dinner will be held at Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa, with a special dinner and a celebratory atmosphere to welcome the New Year. Celebrate New Year’s Eve in Bali, surrounded by tropical greenery and just steps from the Indian Ocean.

After the New Year’s Eve celebrations, this day has been left entirely free so you can sleep in, recharge, and enjoy New Year’s Day without a set schedule or an early wake-up call.

Take a leisurely walk along the Nusa Dua coastline, spend time by the pool or on the beach, enjoy relaxing treatments at the hotel spa, or simply dedicate the day to rest. As this is the penultimate day of your journey, you can also use the evening to pack your bags and prepare for tomorrow’s departure.

Your journey comes to an end — it’s time to say goodbye to the island and the ocean.

Spend the morning at your own pace as you wait for your departure. We’ll arrange a private transfer from your hotel to Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Your pickup time will be carefully aligned with your flight schedule, ensuring a smooth and comfortable end to your trip.

Bali is the kind of place that stays with you long after you leave.
