Couples, groups, and culture-focused travelers looking for a mix of city and spa will be happy here. Read on to discover where to stay and what to do for the perfect getaway to Singapore and Bali.
Need to know
A few smart moves before you go: Singapore keeps things polite and orderly, while Bali requires more caution—stick to bottled water and be selective with street food to avoid the dreaded “Bali belly.” Entry is straightforward with Bali’s visa on arrival (bring cash) and Singapore’s visa-free short stays (you will need to fill out an electronic health declaration before arrival), though you’ll need different power adapters for each destination. Most importantly, book everything in advance—from beach clubs to rooftop restaurants to surf lessons—because the best spots fill up fast in both destinations.
