Couple’s Indonesia: A Romantic Diving Getaway to Bali and Lombok

If you fancy diving into Bali's culture, we can arrange a private cooking class with a local. Begin with a visit to a local market, wandering along rows of fresh fruits and fragrant herbs. Once you've secured the freshest ingredients, it's time to try your hand at preparing some traditional Balinese dishes, followed by a tasting of your creations and a serene walk through the surrounding rice terraces.

Come evening, sample cocktails and sunset views before enjoying a private candlelit dinner with a sea view.

Once you've descended, the rest of the day is yours to spend as you please. You'll likely be tired from the early start, so spend a few hours dozing by the pool before enjoying a fresh lunch at the hotel or heading into the centre for a local dish.

End your afternoon with a relaxing spa treatment or a stroll along the beach, followed by a sunset cocktail to toast your two sun-soaked days in Ubud.

One of Indonesia's lesser-explored regions, Tulamben boasts black-sand beaches, towering volcanic peaks, lush river valleys and, of course, wonderful diving. When you arrive, check into the Siddhartha Oceanfront Resort & Spa, where you'll be spending the next six nights. Settle in with a sunset stroll along the beach before heading back to the hotel for a private dinner and a good night's sleep.

Venture to the famous Liberty wreck, a 390ft-long US supply ship sunk during World War Two, or the famous Tulamben Wall site, a steep drop-off created by a 1963 volcanic eruption. Wildlife-wise, you can spot anything from blacktip sharks and green turtles gliding along the reef to leaf scorpionfish and nudibranch at the superb muck diving spots.

Prefer to keep it closer to home? Spend some time encountering magical marine life at Siddhartha's house reef, including schools of shimmering fish and reef sharks. The reef is even home to its very own wreck, intentionally sunk to create a distinctive ecosystem inside - now that's dedication.

When you're not underwater, spend time relaxing on the beach, strolling hand-in-hand along the sand or enjoying relaxing spa treatments. If you're still raring to go, we can also arrange a guided hike in the nearby Bangle Valley, passing pristine rice fields, lush plantations and bamboo forests.

Set just east of Bali, Lombok showcases a different side of Indonesia - life is slower, the beaches are whiter and there are fewer crowds to contend with. Once you've settled into your luxurious room, embrace island life with a stroll along the beach, stopping for seafood caught fresh that day.

Come evening, enjoy a cooling sundowner on your private terrace overlooking the ocean - it doesn't get much more romantic than this.

Later in the day, you'll have the opportunity to spend time with local women, helping to prepare cakes, sweets and coffee before tasting a selection of traditional Indonesian dishes. Finally, you'll be treated to some lively Susak music, which features rhythmic drumming accompanied by gongs, flutes and cymbals.

Back at the Oberoi, enjoy a sun-soaked evening stroll on the beach and a delicious dinner in the restaurant. Satay, anyone?

On your final day in Lombok, off-gas in the most luxurious of ways by sunbathing on the beach, enjoying a couple's massage at the spa or sip ice-cold cocktails overlooking the waves. Still raring to go? You could also head out to local villages, embark on jungle treks or cycle to nearby waterfalls - it's entirely up to you.

For your last Indonesian evening, we've arranged a romantic sunset cruise around Lombok and the nearby Gili Islands. Sail across the sparkling water in a traditional catamaran, raising a glass of fizz to two weeks of incredible diving.

With another quick connection, your overnight flight home should take around 19 hours, and you'll touch down in the UK the next morning, ready to regale your friends and family with tales of your romantic diving adventure.
