You will be collected from the airport/hotel and driven to Sidemen, located in East Bali. This small village offers some of the most beautiful scenery in Bali. It is not visited by too many tourists and so remains unspoilt.

En route to Sidemen, we will make a few stops for you to enjoy some of the cultural sights and hidden gems on offer along the way. 

The first stop is Kulngkung Palace & Taman Kerta Gosa. The palace dates back to the end of the 17th century. It was largely destroyed by the Dutch during their colonial conquest of Bali in 1908. Today all that remains are the court of justice, the Kerta Gosa Pavilion & the main gate. 

The Klungkung kingdom was considered the highest and most important of the nine kingdoms of Bali during this period. The city was famed for its arts, painting, dance and music. At the end of the 18th century, the Kerta Gosa Pavilion was erected. 

Typifying the Klungkung style of architecture and painting, the Kerta Gosa was the court of the high king of Bali. The paintings in the Pavillions are considered outstanding examples of the Kamasan style. 

We continue to Sidemen, where we will find two hidden waterfalls which are not yet known to many tourists. As we want to keep these spots a secret, you will have to wait until the day to find out exactly where they are.

Check into your hotel and spend the evening at leisure

Check out from your hotel in the early morning as you head out for a truly VIP experience. Exploring Tirta Gangga before it opens to the general public. Here, we can explore the beautiful water palace and its spectacular gardens without the crowds. 

Tirta Gangga means water from the Ganges, and the palace is based on the beliefs in Balinese Hinduism, where the river Ganges and its waters are considered sacred. The one-hectare complex was built in 1946 by the late King of Karangasem, but the eruption of nearby Mount Agung in 1963, halted construction and destroyed most of the palace. Today, the palace has been restored to its preconceived splendour.

Your guide will lead you around the maze of pools and fountains surrounded by a lush garden and stone carvings and statues and will give you an insight into the days of the Balinese Rajahs.

Your morning concludes with a specially arranged breakfast overlooking the pools. Enjoy a light continental style breakfast of pastries, and fresh fruits, served alongside tea or coffee as you take in the tranquillity of this beautiful setting with very few people around.

If you would like to take a dip in one of the pools, you are free to do so, so please remember to pack a bathing suit. 

Close by to Tirta Gangga is Puri Agung Karangasem, the main residential palace of the late Raja of Karangasem. Your guide will lead you through the place's three main parts and explain its unique architecture before driving onwards to the finishing village of Candidasa.

Check into your oceanside accommodation and spend the afternoon at leisure.

In the evening, you will be met by your driver and guide for a culinary adventure. 

Led by one of Bali's most renowned chefs, you will eat, smell and feel your way through the town of Amlapura. Dine amongst the locals and learn about their culture while sampling a variety of Balinese dishes from street food stalls and night markets

With satisfied senses and full bellies, we return you to your hotel, where you can enjoy the rest of the night at your own leisure.

Morning at leisure at your property until check out. 

At the appropriate time, you will be met by your driver and guide for your onward travel.
