Fancy exploring a tropical island, staying in stylish accommodation and enjoying an itinerary that combines relaxation and activity? Well, here’s your chance. Far East tailor-made specialist Magic of the Orient offers a fantastic deal on active holidays to Bali – including 2 free nights and complimentary massages - an added incentive (if needed!) to book early!. 11-day holidays depart London daily throughout May and June 07.

On arrival in Bali, private transfer takes guests to Alila Ubud, a tranquil and secluded hillside retreat situated high up on the edge of the rich green Ayung River valley, for a 5-night stay. The resort overlooks the island’s magnificent Ayung River, with rooms featuring panoramic views facing the surrounding valley and mountain range, individual garden terraces and courtyard with open-air bathroom and shower. After visiting temples, white-water rafting on the wild Ayung, trekking through lush countryside, passing paddy fields and waterfalls, indulge weary muscles with a complimentary massage before watching the sun set from the white sand beach. Nestled between the sea and Bali’s most sacred mountain, Mount Agung (3,142m), the Alila Manggis resort, famed for its specialist East Balinese cuisine and wondrous dive sites, is next. Spend the following 6-days snorkelling in the Blue Lagoon, mountain biking, taking an East Coast safari exploring the local villages and temples filled with beautiful sculpture, or just relaxing on the beach or by the pool.

The holiday costs £1,177 p/p (1st May to 15th June 2007) and £1,238 p/p (16th June to 30th June 2007) including scheduled flights (Singapore Airlines), private transfers, and all accommodation on a B&B basis, picnic and a complimentary 1-hour massage at each property.
