Meet your guide and driver in the morning and drive to the Puri Lukisan Museum, the oldest art museum in Bali. Here you can admire an array of paintings and wood carvings from prominent Balinese artists.

Continue to the stunning highland area of Kintamani. From the rim of the Batur Caldera, take in the spectacular views over the massive crater lake and the still-active volcano. The nearby Bagus Jati Resort is the venue for a healthy lunch made from fresh produce from the resort's own garden. Set amongst lush tropical forests in the mountains of Ubud, the resort offers spectacular views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

After lunch, head to the spa and prepare to unwind with an indulgent two-hour spa treatment. Start with a refreshing foot bath followed by a traditional Balinese massage. Then immerse yourself in a Madura island rock salt bath that warms the body allowing the pores to open. The spa therapist will then apply a conditioning body mask comprised of ginger, cloves, and other spices ground with brown rice, all enclosed with an outer banana leaf body wrap. A soothing head and face massage completes this spa experience. Feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, relax and enjoy the views on the drive back to your hotel.
