Heroes and Heroines
The people who lead the way when it comes to those things which matter to us: exploration, the environment, women’s empowerment and education.
Bali and Lombok
Visit these two islands for the perfect blend of beach and culture. Bali can be as busy and frenetic or as peaceful as one wants to make it. Lombok is really a place for relaxing and enjoying the unspoilt beaches.
If you can bear to leave the beach, visit the spiritual side of Bali. If money is no object, then stay at one of the Aman properties – some of the best of these world-renowned hotels can be found in Bali.
For an extended holiday, combine a stay in Bali with the ultimate sea safari aboard Tiger Blue, for a cruise around Indonesia’s remote Eastern islands or Alexa for the ultimate in private luxury.
