WELCOME TO INDONESIA

1. Arrive

2. Java

   Whilst you can fly almost anywhere in the world from Singapore, we suggest Jakarta on the island of Java to begin the next stage of your adventure. From here, travel in style in Aman’s luxury train carriage up to the lush, mountainous region of Borobudur where the world’s largest temple dates back to the 9th century. Amanjiwo is the most luxurious base from which to explore the region, designed to emulate the temple itself and boasting magnificent views out to Borobudur temple in the distance.

   

   Suggested activities:

   • Marvel at the spectacle of the mist rising over Borobudur at sunrise

   • Take a serene cycling trip through sleepy rural villages and observe a variety of traditional crafts 

   • Trek through the foothills of Sumbing Mountain to the remote Selogriyo temple

   Suggested length of stay: 3 days

3. Bali

   Fly on to Denpasar in Bali and retreat to Ubud in the lush central highlands. The emerald green rice terraces, peaceful temples and colourful markets make Ubud the perfect place to slow the pace and absorb a harmonious blend of traditional Balinese life and mindful modernity.

   • Stroll through the rice terraces with a Balinese priest and observe a blessing at a remote temple 

   • Take a thrilling cycling adventure along the caldera of Mount Batur, absorbing panoramas of the volcano's lava fields

   An hour’s flight from Denpasar takes you to Labuan Bajo, the entrance to the stunning Komodo National Park. The marine park’s striking topography contrasts rugged green mountains and dry savannah with the breathtaking turquoise waters and pink sand beaches, creating a vivid backdrop for its legendary resident, the Komodo dragon.The best way to experience Komodo is on board a traditional phinisi boat with a private captain, chef and dedicated crew.

   

   Suggested activities:

   • Go trekking in search of the Komodo Dragon and dive with manta rays at Manta Point 

   • Follow snorkelling in azure waters with a gourmet picnic on a pink coral sand beach

5. Sumba

   Continue your adventure to Sumba Island where NIHI’s sumptuous, thatched villas overlook the world-class surf break and wild beach, home to roaming water buffalo and Sumbanese stallions.  NIHI promises a culturally immersive experience with its links to the Sumba foundation and an array of activities to take full advantage of the ocean, local villages, waterfalls, mangroves and hidden coves.
