See a Movie and Enjoy the Day and Night

Julia Roberts travels to the idyllic South East Asian island of Bali in her latest film, Eat Pray Love, which hits cinema screens across the UK on 24th September. Based on the best-selling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, the film chronicles a quest for self-discovery, from food in Italy to the power of prayer in India and finally, spiritual enlightenment in Bali. Whether movie-lovers are inspired by the soul-searching journey, intrigued to discover the power of meditation, seeking inner peace, or simply want to explore the island’s tropical landscape or flop on the beach, there is a Hayes & Jarvis (0871 664 0246) Bali holiday to suit all tastes and budgets.

Flagging up the Indonesian island as a tropical paradise, Hayes & Jarvis believes the destination has something for everyone – from unspoilt beaches and hillside gardens to white water rafting and lively bars, and of course, its spiritual and cultural heritage. The long-haul specialist suggests following in the footsteps of the Hollywood star by jetting off to the Far East this winter for a holiday that combines the arty town of Ubud – surrounded by scenic rice fields, villages and ancient temples – with a beach stay in Sanur.

A one-week holiday combining three nights at Maya Ubud Resort and Spa with four nights at Bali Pavilions, Sanur costs £1,199 per person (based on two sharing). Both offer a spa, swimming pool and restaurant, with accommodation in contemporary Balinese-style villas, while Maya Ubud Resort also offers yoga, pilates, treks and nature walks. Departing on 13th November, the Hayes & Jarvis package includes seven nights’ four-star plus accommodation on a B&B basis, Singapore Airlines flights from London Heathrow and transfers.
