Blissful Bali – 7 October – $499 OFF

This Indonesian island is paradise personified, and a tropical playground for any lover of the great outdoors. That’s certainly the case on this 12-day fun-fest, which sees you hiking through rural villages and serene rice paddies, diving into waterfalls and trying a unique aerial style of yoga. On day five you’ll get up early to summit Mount Batur at sunrise – the views of the island here are truly something else – before kicking back on the tiny island of Gili Trawangan, where you can choose your speed. Snorkel with sea turtles and trek around the entire island? Yes please. Chill on the beach and book yourself in for a well-deserved massage at our luxurious resort? Why not! Either way, you’ll feel great about the $499 saving you made.
