Malaysia & Indonesia Escape

On arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, collect your luggage and clear customs, where a representative waiting in the Arrivals Hall with a sign bearing your name meets you. A private car then takes you on the 25-minute journey to your accommodation in Kuala Lumpur, where you check in for a two-night stay.

Kuala Lumpur sits at the meeting point of the Kelang and Gombak rivers and serves as Malaysia's capital and its commercial, financial and cultural hub. Colonial-era buildings, temples and minarets stand alongside a modern skyline dominated by the Petronas Twin Towers, one of the world's tallest buildings, while a multicultural population brings a lively mix of festivals, traditions and cuisine to the city.

With a free day to explore, you might wander through Kuala Lumpur's older quarters, where colonial-era buildings and temples sit within easy reach of the modern city centre, or spend time among the gardens and green spaces that give the city its reputation as a garden city.

This morning, a private car collects you from your accommodation at 10:50 am, with your driver waiting up to 60 minutes, for the transfer to Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

From here, you fly direct to Lombok with Indonesia AirAsia, departing at 2:50 pm and arriving into Lombok International Airport at 5:55 pm after a flight of just over three hours, with one piece of hand luggage included.

Once you have collected your bags and cleared customs, a representative meets you at the arrivals gate holding a signboard with your name, before a private transfer, with up to two hours' waiting time, takes you on to your accommodation in Lombok for the start of a three-night stay.

Often described as Bali's little sister, Lombok is known for its picture-book beaches, a majestic volcano rising from its interior, and the Sasak people, renowned for being extremely hospitable and tradition-conscious. With tourism yet to reach the island in force, life here moves at an unhurried pace.

With time free to explore, you could head to the small tourist town of Senggigi for its country-style restaurants, bars and shops, or consider a day trip out to the nearby Gili Islands, well known for their white sand beaches.

Today is free to spend as you wish in Lombok - whether relaxing on the beach, browsing Senggigi's restaurants and shops, or taking the opportunity for a day trip out to the Gili Islands.

The day starts with a private transfer, arranged to meet you either at Lombok International Airport or at your hotel in Lombok City Center, depending on your pick-up location, for the drive to Teluk Nare Harbour. From here, a speedboat carries you across to Gili Trawangan, with the crossing taking around an hour in total.

On arrival at Gili Trawangan Harbour, a cidomo - a traditional horse-drawn cart - takes you on to your accommodation, where you check in for a three-night stay.

Today, you're free to enjoy Gili Trawangan, one of three Gili Islands - alongside Gili Air and Gili Meno - known for white sand beaches, turquoise waters and some of the region's best diving and snorkelling grounds. Well developed for tourism, the island draws divers, day-trippers and backpackers to its beaches, restaurants and bars.

You might spend the day relaxing on the beach or arranging a snorkelling or diving trip to explore the surrounding waters.

After breakfast, the day is yours to continue enjoying Gili Trawangan's beaches, whether that means another swim in its clear waters or simply relaxing before your onward journey to Bali tomorrow.

This morning, a horse-cart collects you from your accommodation, with a maximum of two people per cart, for the journey to the boat. A direct fast boat service then carries you from Gili Trawangan to Ubud via Padang Bai, departing at 9 am and arriving at 12:30 pm after a crossing of three and a half hours. Onboard, you're offered a complimentary snack, mineral water and a face towel, and up to two pieces of luggage per person travel free.

On arrival into Ubud, a private car completes the transfer to your accommodation, where you check in for a three-night stay.

Please note: An additional charge applies for surfboards on this boat crossing, payable on the spot.

Ubud sits amid rice paddies and steep ravines in the foothills of Bali's Gianyar regency and has long been promoted as the island's arts and culture centre. Home to around 30,000 people, the town blends into the surrounding patchwork of small farms, rice fields and dense forest, with thirteen villages encircling it.

With the day free to explore, you might browse Ubud's art galleries and craft studios or take a walk out into the surrounding rice terraces.

Today, a further day at leisure in Ubud gives you more time to explore its rice paddies, forest trails or art scene before your trip comes to an end tomorrow.

After your final breakfast, a private car collects you from your accommodation in Gianyar for the transfer to Ngurah Rai International Airport in Bali, a journey of around three hours, bringing your trip to a close.
