Day 1: Arrive in Bali
Alila Seminyak
Enjoy our arrival service the moment you arrive at the airport where you’ll be greeted by our team, who’ll also help you with customs and baggage collection.
After being escorted through immigration, your driver will transfer you to Alila Seminyak, one of the most stylish beachfront hotels in the heart of Bali’s trendiest neighbourhood.
Lounge beside the serene infinity pool, enjoy refreshing cocktails at the Beach Bar, or treat yourself to a gourmet experience at one of the hotel’s restaurants. For the ultimate indulgence, head to Spa Alila where treatments harness the curative power of all-natural local and traditional ingredients.
Day 2: Sun, Sand & Surf Seminyak
Beachside relaxation at Alila Seminyak
Enjoy and explore Seminyak at your own pace. You may choose to start the day with some morning yoga or a shoreline stroll before enjoying a leisurely breakfast back at your hotel.
Later, you may wish to indulge in a little retail therapy or arrange a tour to experience some of Bali’s stunning temples. We highly recommend Tanah Lot Temple, a stunning 15th-century temple perched on an offshore rock shaped by the Indian Ocean’s swell and tide over millions of years.
Just make sure to save time for your included 60-minute Balinese massage at Spa Alila which promises to unravel the deepest stress and improve blood flow.

Pondok Santi Estate
After breakfast, your driver will meet you to depart for Serangan Harbour, where you will board a shared speed boat to Gili Trawangan.

Your haven of simplified luxury awaits at the serene Pondok Santi Estate, an ancient coconut plantation nestled on the southern tip of Gili Trawangan. You’ll stay in one of only 18 beautifully appointed private villas nestled within the resort’s seven hectares of lush lawns.
