Still looking for that perfect early summer break? Don’t miss out on Far East specialist Magic of the Orient’s amazing Bali deal! Combine relaxation with active pursuits including whitewater rafting, trekking and snorkelling, during a 10-night holiday staying at two very stylish boutique resorts, the Alila Ubud in the heart of Bali and sister hotel, Alila Manggis on the largely untouched East Coast. Heathrow departures are available throughout May and June 07.

Alila Ubud is a tranquil and secluded hillside retreat that sits high up on the edge of the rich green Ayung River valley in Bali’s central foothills, close to Ubud, the island’s cultural heart. The hotel blends contemporary design and traditional Balinese architecture within its secluded courtyards, spacious terraces and private gardens. During a 5-night stay, visit temples, white-water raft the wild Ayung, trek through lush countryside, stopping for a picnic lunch and enjoy a complimentary massage in the tranquil spa. From tropical retreat to stylish beachside hideaway, Alila Manggis is one of Bali’s best-kept secrets. Enjoy a further 5-nights in this East Coast idyll, with access to some of the best diving sites on the island. Go snorkelling in the Blue Lagoon, try mountain biking and explore the local villages for a real taste of traditional Bali.

The holiday costs from £1,177 p/p (1st May-15th June 07) including scheduled flights (Singapore Airlines), private transfers, 10-nights accommodation with breakfast (includes two free nights), activities as indicated and picnic lunch.
