The theme of this trip is enjoying Bali without kids. Yes, I know I go on and on about coming to Bali as a family, but honestly, some things are better experienced without them. Like an interior design tour. Or having a relaxing balinese massage. Or even an uninterrupted dinner with adult conversation! I’ve carefully curated this itinerary to contain the perfect blend of culture, relaxation and adventure.
Read on to see if this trip is right for you!

Our Itinerary:
Day 1 (April 26): Arrival at Bali Ngurah Rai International Airport by 3pm, transfer to Canggu area (Approx 1 hour), welcome swim and dinner. We’ll be staying at a villa decorated by my favorite designers in Southeast Asia!

Day 3 (April 28): A chilled morning before checking out of our villa. We’ll travel towards the interior of the island, embarking on an overnight experience to see the “real” Bali. This will be full immersion into Balinese life and culture! We will stay in a Balinese family compound, learning about their culture, architecture and spirituality. We will learn the pillars of Balinese cooking with a special focus on learning about the medical properties of spices and roots.
Day 4 (April 29): We will wake up early hike together to do a melukat water purification ceremony far off the tourist trail with a local priest. We’ll then dry off and hike to a local farm for an organic lunch and gentle yoga and meditation. We’ll say goodbye to our hosts and head to the jungle, staying in a breathtaking bamboo structure that is truly a work of art, overlooking a sacred river.
Day 5 (April 30): The morning will be spent exploring amazing rice fields and landscapes. We will also have a chance to learn more about bamboo architecture and visit a community of homes built entirely out of bamboo!
Day 6 (May 1): Travel over to the neighboring island of Nusa Lembongan, a 30 minute boat ride from Bali. We’ll stay in a prime location where we can swim, lounge and explore! My favorite spa in all of Bali is on Lembongan, so we’ll be sure to get massages this afternoon while we listen to the waves crash below.
Day 7 (May 2): Early morning snorkel excursion to swim with the mantas, search for sea turtles and if we’re lucky, spot some dolphins! The afternoon can be spent at the spa, taking a surf lesson, stand up paddle boarding or lounging on the pontoon just watching the surfers. Sunset farewell dinner together.
Day 8 (May 3): After breakfast we’ll head back to Bali by boat where you can fly out any time after 4 pm.
