Bali and Vietnam: Lanterns, lights, lovely beaches

The time has come: you're fulfilling your long-awaited Bali dream! And what better time than now?! With your suitcase packed, sunglasses on and a big grin on your face, you board your plane and take off towards island paradise. You fly east overnight, bristling with excitement about all the adventures that await you over the next few days.

The second your plane makes it descent, your eyes light right up – 'island paradise, here I come!' Your whole body is tingling with the thirst for adventure, and as soon as you land, you practically sprint to get your bags. Seemingly endless white beaches, one perfect wave after another and chill surfer vibes? That can only mean one thing: you've finally made it to Canggu! After a quick trip to your accommodation, where you swiftly drop off your things, you set off to start exploring this new dream location. With an ice-cold drink in hand, you make yourself comfortable on the beach and watch the surfers skilfully glide through the clear water on their boards as you wonder what other adventures await you here.

Today, your to-do list is totally blank! Endless white sand beaches and perfect waves aren't just ideal for doing nothing but also offer beginners and pros alike the best conditions for surfing! Between Batu Belong Beach and Canggu Beach, you'll find a wide range of surf schools. So if you feel like jumping on a board and paddling into the break, you've got plenty of options (optional, payable on site). If you'd rather just spectate, then head to one of the many beach clubs an enjoy a refereshing cocktail or smoothie while you soak up the chill vibes and watch the surfers shred the waves. And you certainly won't want to miss the indescribable sunset in the evening, when the sky lights up in the most beautiful spectrum of oranges, yellows and purples and you feel your whole body being washed over with joy.

After another stroll through the soft sand, soaking in the sound of the waves and enjoying the stillness of the morning, you’re off to Ubud. Canggu, with its hip street life, gorgeous beaches and laid-back people, was already a dream come true – how could Ubud top that? Time to be surprised! As your driver navigates the buzzing streets, you gaze in wonder at the changing landscape. The busy roads merge into lush rice fields, and small temples line the way to your jungle escape.
Next stop: your accommodation, where you fall into your new bed overjoyed. You're finally here! You take a short breather, then head off to discover the natural world that surrounds you. 'Wow!' Ubud is colourful, hip and, with its seven temples and lush green nature, simply magical. Your imagination starts running wild as you consider all you want to do and experience here. And then a smile creeps across your face – you can hardly wait!
