A Honeymoon in Bali
This luxurious honeymoon to the lush landscape of Bali will acquaint you with its verdant rice paddies and idyllic southern beaches. You'll have the chance to walk through the paddies, admire breathtaking valley vista, meet locals at the market, explore ancient temples, and dive off the coast.
Adding in Singapore is the perfect compliment, and a couple of days here is a wonderful introduction to Southeast Asia.
The islands of Indonesia are made to celebrate honeymoons. Start in Sumba, which still feels refreshingly off the beaten path before heading to Bali, with its cultural delights, lush rice terraces, and spiritual energy.

There are no booked activities for Singapore, but below are some ideas of what you can do on your day in the city.
Begin the day with a stroll to Merlion Park to enjoy the impressive views of Marina Bay. Then, hop in a taxi to drive around the Civic District's most impressive architectural highlights, passing by the Padang, Singapore Cricket Club, historic Parliament House, and the National Gallery Singapore.
From here, drive to Chinatown to see the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple & Museum. Pause for a private meditation session in front of a Buddha relic.
Back outside, stroll through Singapore’s historic Chinatown, a bustling mix of old and new, filled with traditional shops and markets as well as hip stores and cafes.
Head to MacRitchie Reservoir Park (approximately 20 minute drive), where you can immerse yourself in the natural side of Singapore that most visitors never see. Hike through the lush green foliage and cross the Treetop Walk, a 250-meter aerial suspension bridge connecting the parks two highest points. In this tropical rainforest, look out for playful long-tailed macaque monkeys, striped plantain squirrels and monitor lizards.
Singapore is world-renowned as a shopping destination. But away from the mile of malls on Orchard road, independent style thrives in small pockets around the city:
- Not far from Chinatown, Tiong Bahru is one of the city's prettiest residential neighborhoods, and is brimming with quirky cafes and independent shops.
- Trendy Holland Village is popular with the city's expats and students and has a selection of unique shops.
- In lovely Dempsey Hill, you will find Singapore's branch of Dover Street Market, which has outposts in the world's fashion capitals. This edgy, fashion-forward concept shop sells pieces from limited-edition collaborations.
