Bali

Bali is a destination that offers adventure as well as relaxation and romance, making it an ideal honeymoon destination. A diverse island, the northern region offers lush jungle and mountains and the southern region offers expansive beaches. If you want to immerse yourself in all Bali has to offer, I recommend splitting your trip between two different areas to explore all they have to offer and take advantage of some truly amazing and unique accommodations. No matter where you stay on the island you can find world class service, spas, and amazing cuisine, you’ll want to stay at least seven days in order to take it all in.

In May 2024, I did a site inspection while staying three nights at Raffles Bali. The entire staff were very warmth and friendly. We had a great experience at this luxury beachfront resort for the entire stay and definitely would like to stay here. I highly recommend this to my clients.

The Viceroy Bali sits right on the edge of a ravine in Ubud's Valley of the Kings, and trust me, the views don't disappoint. Every villa looks out over the lush river valley, which is exactly what you want when staying in Ubud.The resort strikes a perfect balance between tranquil seclusion and convenience, offering serene escape from Ubud's bustling center while remaining close enough for effortless exploration of the area's cultural attractions. For those seeking the ultimate arrival experience, the property features its own helipad. However, the scenic drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport is an experience, winding through picturesque Balinese villages and emerald rice terraces.

Anyone who has spent time in Bali understands the peace and serenity that this island holds. Out of all of the places I’ve been in the world, it tops the list. Bali is the perfect mix of luxury and adventure and is home to the kindest people I’ve come across while traveling. You could spend months in Bali, but this nine-day itinerary covers the must-sees and must-dos if you find yourself on this island.

When you first arrive in Ubud, it will not take you long to remember why you decided to visit Bali in the first place; its natural beauty, deep cultural heritage and gracious and hospitable hosts are just a few of the many reasons why your trip to Bali will be memorable. Skip the gigantic swings (yes, you heard me - skip the swings). Instead, discover real Balinese heritage and culture through food, art and day trips to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Be sure to connect to the Balinese people who will make your visit truly extraordinary.

Living in New York, January is always a cold and slightly dreary month after the holidays. My favorite way to escape the January blues is make sure I have a warm vacation destination to look forward to in January.

As I’m writing this guide, I’m sitting on a beach lounge chair in the private villa in Jamaica watching the sun rise over our infinity pool. It’s definitely worth planning an island getaway in January to a warm destination to soak in some fun.
