Hong Kong Hustle with an intimate escape in Bali tour

Stay 3 nights at the INTERCONTINENTAL GRAND STANFORD ideally placed in the Kowloon area, the effervescent home to bargain shopping, bustling markets, high-tech museums and waterfront extravaganzas. The hotel has a rooftop pool, several restaurants and is minutes walk from the MTR (Underground metro system)

And then follow by an unforgettable 7 nights in the unspoilt northern part of Bali at the DAMAI LOVINA. Located just 2 miles from the north coast, this lovely boutique hotel is an icon of taste, both in its understated furnishings and literally in the wonderful food it prepares and serves. Recently extended to offer junior suites and pool villas it is ideal for honeymooners and perfect for those looking for relaxation, peace and quiet.

The hotel has built a good and unobtrusive relationship with the local people. As a consequence guests are encouraged to see how the local people grow rice, harvest their crops and generally live a rural Balinese life. Small scale excursions are offered to the surrounding area, an excursion to see dolphins playing in the bay in the early morning light or visit Menjangan Island, an uninhabited island less than 7 miles offshore with possibly the most beautiful coral reefs in Bali.

If you are looking for nightlife and large resort facilities this is not the spot for you. However, if you are looking for an intimate escape, where the handpicked staff will know your name, and how you like your tea and coffee very quickly, this may well be an unforgettable experience.
