The Ultimate Three Weeks in Indonesia

You will experience a traditional Melukat water blessing led by Pak Mangku, the local priest. He offers blessings and ties yarn bracelets around your wrists to symbolise love, health and happiness.

Afterwards, a scenic drive takes you through the countryside to Tirta Sari, a bale overlooking emerald rice fields. As evening falls, a candlelit path leads across the plantations to Aman’s bale, where a private chef and waiter await an intimate dinner.

Cycle through Bali’s peaceful interior, where emerald paddy fields, village temples and traditional houses line the route. The ride unfolds at an easy pace, with time to pause, meet locals and glimpse daily life beyond Ubud.

The journey ends at Puri Taman Sari, a Balinese compound owned by the Mengwi royal family, where a home-cooked lunch is served. Later, wander through Taman Ayun, the 17th-century royal temple of Mengwi and part of Bali’s UNESCO-recognised Subak irrigation system, set within a wide moat and layered courtyards crowned with tiered meru shrines.

Rise early to experience Borobudur at dawn. Built in the 9th century, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Southeast Asia’s man-made marvels, made even more magical for Amanjiwo guests with early access before the crowds. Later, wander the mystical Menoreh Hills, where Prince Diponegoro once sought spiritual guidance and locals continue to come in search of insight.

ALEXA is truly one of a kind, designed for only two guests, but has a crew of seven, including a massage therapist, a talented private chef and a cruise director.

Over three days, adventure and relaxation unfold as you explore Komodo National Park. Sip sunset drinks or enjoy a spa treatment while sailing past turquoise waters and rugged coastlines. Snorkel among turtles, rays and coral gardens, trek Rinca’s savannah in search of Komodo dragons, and pause on soft, white-sand beaches. Evenings are spent under the stars with beach barbecues or candlelit dinners as the sun sets over Komodo’s dramatic hills.

Sumba is famed for its surf, drawing visitors from around the world to ride endless sets along the sand, with group or private lessons highly recommended. Enjoy excellent dining, including the Japanese sushi bar Kaboku, or as the sun sets on your first evening, canter through the shallow waves with a local Sumbanese horseman, watching the island’s colours change. Days can be spent sunbathing, reading, stand-up paddle-boarding, swimming in the infinity pool, or joining yoga and meditation classes.

The resort’s close relationship with the Sumbanese people has transformed the lives of the local community. You can visit a water project, a health clinic combating malaria, or spend a morning volunteering with the school lunch programme.

Hike or mountain-bike to nearby waterfalls, passing incredible birdlife along the way. Sumba is home to over 300 species, including eight found nowhere else, such as hornbills, fruit doves, button quail and paradise flycatchers. In the evening, a private beach dinner offers a magical finale to your extraordinary Indonesian adventure.
