Curated by

Viceroy Bali is a stunning blend of jungle serenity and five-star sophistication, perched above the lush Valley of the Kings just minutes from Ubud. My stay was both indulgent and grounding, with private pool villas, intuitive service, and some of the best dining in Bali. It’s the kind of place where time slows down—and luxury feels personal, not performative. This report captures what makes Viceroy a standout in Bali’s competitive high-end landscape.

Seven-Day Honeymoon in Bali
Curated by
Alicia Anderson
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.
A Sustainable Guide to Sumba, Indonesia
Curated by
Kay Hart
Sumba is not an escape from life, it IS LIFE.
Sumba is known as the “Forgotten Island” of Indonesia in the East Nusa Tenggara province. But ironically, once you go to Sumba you will never forget it. Sumba is still relatively undiscovered and certainly not geared for all tourists, although it is becoming developed by a few hoteliers and surfers have certainly caught on to the swell opportunities.
Fortunately, for us interested in sustainable travel, there are a few remarkable hotels that value the preservation of Sumba’s ancient indigenous culture and traditions. From the lush dense forests with waterfalls to the white sand beaches that make you question if you are walking in sand that nobody has ever touched before; Sumba can feel like the remote island destination you only see in the movies.
Sumba is worthy of a standalone destination to visit, but it is also an easy extension for those traveling to Bali, being only a 1.5-hour flight from Denpasar. Whether you have three days, seven days or a month - do not miss out on Sumba and all the life it so graciously offers us.
