Indonesia
Indonesia is made for island-hopping. In Bali, rice terraces ripple through the hills around Ubud while surfers line up for waves along the coast near Kuta and Uluwatu. At sunrise in Java, Borobudur’s ancient stone stupas emerge slowly from the morning mist. As you go east, the landscapes turn wilder. Komodo National Park is home to the world’s largest lizards, often spotted wandering across rugged islands and pink-sand beaches. On Lombok, waterfalls tumble through jungle valleys, while the Gili Islands offer clear water and slow island days. From volcano hikes and world-class diving to temple towns and surf breaks, Indonesia is the kind of place where every island brings something different.

Unmissable Moments
Play Padel against Jack & Falcon
Picture this, it’s golden hour in Bali. Tournament bracket set. Crowd circling the court. Falcon sends a lob that somehow disappears into a palm tree. Jack’s on the sideline calling the replay like it’s centre court at Wimbledon. It’s high-stakes.
Potato Head Beach Club
Your own poolside daybed at one of the world’s most iconic beach clubs. Potato Head isn’t just a venue — it’s an architectural flex and cultural landmark, built from thousands of reclaimed shutters and stretched out along the Seminyak surf. This is your all-day pass to rotating DJ sets & cold cocktails on command.
Watch sunrise over a volcano’s crater lakes.
Hike before dawn to the rim of Mount Kelimutu. As the sun rises, three volcanic lakes slowly emerge from the mist - each a different shade of turquoise, green, or black, shifting mysteriously with time.
Camp on a f*kn active volcano!
A three-day trek with the ARRIVAL crew up Mount Rinjani, pitching your tent on the rim of an active volcano to get bragging rights for life. Are we insane? Probably.
Up Close with Komodo Dragons
Get face-to-face with Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, guided by a local park ranger. Walk through Komodo Island where you’ll see these incredible, larger-than-life predators still roam – the largest living lizards on Earth. This is Apex energy.
Hit the Jungle Club, Ubud
Beach clubs are out. Jungle clubs are in. Swap sand for canopy at Ubud’s Jungle Club, where infinity pools hang over deep green valleys and the soundtrack is birds, bass and clinking glasses. Swim above the treetops. Drink cold cocktails, and watch mist roll through the jungle.
Toraja Funerals: Celebrating Life in Tana Toraja
In the highlands of South Sulawesi, the Toraja people hold some of Indonesia’s most remarkable funeral ceremonies. Rather than taking place immediately, funerals are often held months after a person has passed away. Families use this time to prepare and gather relatives from across the region. When the ceremony finally happens, it can last several days. Communities come together for large feasts, traditional dances and ritual buffalo sacrifices, all intended to honour the life of the person who has died and guide their spirit to the afterlife.
