Touch down at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), where orchid walls, kinetic rain sculptures and spotless concourses offer a first glimpse of the city’s seamless blend of innovation and nature. Welcome to a crossroads of cultures—Chinese, Malay, Indian and British influences—where heritage shophouses sit beneath futuristic skylines and world-class hawker food courts buzz from breakfast till late.

After clearing immigration and collecting your bags, meet your driver in the arrivals hall for your shared transfer to the hotel. Complete check-in*, freshen up, and let the rest of the day unfold at your pace—unwind after the flight or set out on foot to discover your neighbourhood’s cafés, shaded arcades and pocket parks.

Overnight: Singapore.

After breakfast, set out on a guided city tour (mix of walking and short coach hops) to trace the island’s layered story—trade port to global city, temple bells to glass towers. Begin in Little India, where spice-laden arcades, garland stalls and vivid murals capture the community’s vibrant pulse.

Continue to the mouth of the Singapore River to meet the half-lion, half-fish Merlion—a national icon nodding to humble beginnings as a fishing village. Glide past the sleek Financial District before arriving in Chinatown, where shophouse heritage and ancestral halls speak to the city’s largest ethnic group. In this very quarter, you’ll also find one of Singapore’s oldest and most picturesque Hindu temples, a vivid symbol of cultural interweave.

Return to the hotel after the tour and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure. Perhaps wander to a nearby hawker centre for laksa, chicken rice or satay, or browse design shops and cafés as dusk lights the skyline.

Check in to your hotel and take the rest of the day at leisure. Ease into island time with a gentle wander along Ubud’s main streets—artisan boutiques, woodcarvers and batik studios—or simply settle by the pool with a fresh coconut. As dusk falls, temple gamelan drifts across the paddies and the village glows with lantern light.

Overnight: Ubud (Bali).

After breakfast, leave the town centre for the emerald steps of Tegalalang Rice Terraces, a living tapestry of irrigation channels and bright-green paddies. Pause at viewpoints for photos and to watch farmers tending the subak (traditional water-sharing system).

Continue into the highlands to Kintamani, a cool, mist-kissed ridge with wide panoramas over Mount Batur (active volcano) and Lake Batur. The air feels fresher here than on the coast—perfect for lingering over the sweeping caldera views before descending to central Bali.

This afternoon, visit the sacred springs of Tirta Empul, a revered Hindu water temple dedicated to Vishnu. Watch worshippers perform their cleansing ritual at the stone spouts and explore the shrines and courtyards fragrant with incense. On the return to Ubud, make a final stop at Tegenungan Waterfall, where a 15-metre cascade tumbles into a jungle pool—an atmospheric spot for photos and a short riverside stroll.

Overnight: Ubud (Bali).

Continue to the nutmeg groves of Alas Kedaton, the sacred monkey forest home to long-tailed macaques and large flying-fox fruit bats. Under dappled light and birdsong, follow leafy paths and small shrines as your guide shares stories of the forest’s spiritual significance.

As afternoon softens, arrive at cliff-perched Tanah Lot Temple. Watch waves coil and crash against the rock as the sky moves toward sunset—an unforgettable silhouette where sea, shrine and horizon meet. Afterwards, a short coastal drive brings you to your hotel in Benoa. Check in and unwind ahead of tomorrow’s seaside rhythm.

Overnight: Benoa (Bali).

After breakfast, ease into the day at your own pace. Stroll the neighbourhood, dip in the pool, browse boutiques for batik and beachwear, or book a soothing Balinese massage. Keep your afternoon light—you’ll be chasing a glorious sunset later.

Mid-afternoon, set out for the Bukit Peninsula, a rugged limestone escarpment that contrasts with Bali’s lush interior. Perched high above the Indian Ocean, cliff-top Uluwatu Temple is among the island’s most revered sea shrines. As the sky warms to amber and rose, take your seat for the rhythmic Kecak Dance—a chorus of interlocking chants, fire motifs and storytelling that’s performed at sunset.
