We love DialAFlight. Scott and all his team are fantastic
I would not book a 45 minute connection at Doha again. I missed my connection and was then detoured via Dhaka onto Bangkok, adding 10 hours to my journey. Heathrow was a nightmare - took 2.5 hours to check in luggage.
Oli de Bernier is excellent and always looks after us 100%
A big thank you to Cody Phillips who was our Travel Manger. He arranged our holiday and his help and advice was 1st class. I will definitely book another holiday through DialAFlight again.
Jen Hotel in Singapore, the customer service needs to improve. I would not stay there again or for you to recommend this to your other customers
Dealing with Anthony on booking was great. Very attentive, knowledgeable and patient. Gives confidence. Would definitely book again.
I have already recommended friends and I will use you again. Excellent service
Seamless travel arrangements as always with DialAFlight.
Very good service.
I have used Dialaflight for some years now and wouldn't use anyone else for flight bookings as all the team are superb, especially Luke.
Great experience - holiday accommodation was awesome
All went well. Kylie was brilliant as always. Really felt she was watching our backs on this trip ,
Almost normality. Whilst there were some minor checking in delays and whilst masks were required on the flights and in overseas airports, the experience was almost ‘back to normal’
Jim gave us all the information we needed to travel to each area and with all the different covid restrictions that made it stress free. All transfers were seamless and we had no issues with anything. It was the best holiday we ever had so thank you
Very pleased, great flight
I have been using DialAFlight for over 20 yrs. I think this speaks for itself
Excellent service. Nothing too much trouble. Always a friendly and caring person to deal with your questions and booking
Amazing! I always use DialAFlight when booking long-distance travel. They are the best team in the world, couldn't ask for more. They are brilliant not just at organising good flights and travel plans, but the customer care is second to none. Stuck abroad in lockdown, the staff kept on top of all my flight changes and cancellations, re-organising new flights every time and negotiating with the airline until all was successfully resolved. Thank you for everything, full of gratitude.
Excellent ,personal and dependable as always
Nick and his team were excellent as ever. Always happy to recommend DialAFlight to family and friends
Marco was very helpful and arranged my flights as requested.
Lovely trip cut short by Corona
I would like to commend Alan and Jay for their fantastic work in getting our flights changed on Singapore Airlines in the nick of time. Cannot thank Alan enough for his rapid action
I use you although I can often get slightly cheaper elsewhere because of the person to person back-up service that you provide
No problem at all
Marshall was very professional and friendly and very helpful with any queries
Great customer service!
Totally professional service.
Our flight got cancelled for part of our return leg and Byron was excellent at communicating and rescheduling
Very efficient. Superb service.
It’s raining and suddenly my terrace is flooded with sound - heavy droplets drum down, frogs chatter, birds hiss and cicadas chant in chorus. A high-pitched wail from some jungle creature pierces the sultry, twilight air and halts my swim. Peering over the edge of the infinity pool into the waterfall and jungle below, I feel like I'm living an episode of Planet Earth.
Ever bewitching, Indonesia has the power to simultaneously arrest every sense. I'm treated to this dusk performance while taking a dip in my private plunge pool, just one of the many fabulous features of the luxurious treehouse-style suites at Four Seasons Resort Bali At Sayan in Ubud.
Soak up the best ofBali and Sundara Beach Club
From an unassuming entrance on a dusty street, guests travel along a road flanked by treetops oblivious to the Bond-style lair that lies beneath the canopy. The main building has been designed to resemble a huge rice bowl laden with unexpected surprises on each level – Jati bar, Ayung Terrace restaurant and a spa all overlook the lush greenery present at every turn.
In harmony with its locale, the hotel offers a day in the life of a Balinese farmer experience - learning how to plant and farm a rice paddy field, followed by a traditional lunch and then a revitalising Chakra ritual.
Our friendly guide Santika leads us to the outer edges of the hotel, which spill into Ayung Valley's green paddy terraces.
After a tour of the herb garden, packed with fragrant and healing plants, we learn about ‘taksu’ a spirit said to dwell within each of us. Then it’s time to don a traditional farmer’s hat and wellies as I vigorously turn over the turf, letting the water swell over my ‘rice patch’.
Following a lunch of rice, fruits and meat, I head to a small spa overlooking the water. Frangipani suffuses the air and after completing a heath survey, I have a Manipura Chakra ritual focusing on my digestive system. I’m given ginger and honey to drink before being scrubbed with Himalayan salt and sea oil and wrapped in mud. Eventually I take an alfresco herbal bath before I’m kneaded with a soothing massage into utter relaxation.
I also try anti-gravity yoga, which involves swinging and contorting myself in a hammock. It involves a lot of time upside down and soaring through the air.
Enjoy a session of anti-gravity yoga
I regain my balance with a Buddhist nun who arrives to meditate with my yoga group. Although she’s only in her thirties emanates an ancient wisdom. Melodiously, she encourages us to appreciate the present, to listen to distant water trickling, chickens clucking and her singing bowl lilting across the incense-infused air. Some of my group are so moved they weep.
It’s hard to deny the island has an intoxicating energy, drenched in timeless mysticism. It’s why there are so many yoga retreats here and travellers following the trail of the cult movie Eat,Pray, Love.
I’m holidaying at both hotels on the island that Julia Roberts stayed at during filming. My contrasting, yet equally luxurious, second address is a laidback beach haven, Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay, favoured by celebrities including Nicole Kidman, Nicolas Cage and Cameron Diaz.
The dreamy retreat overlooks the bay’s enticing white sands and cerulean waters with the jade outline of Mount Agung in the misty distance.
Guests are housed in villas with private gardens and the resort is built in the style of a Balinese village. Despite there being 147 villas and nine residences, while sprawled out on a sun-lounger I feel like I have this slice of paradise all to myself.
Take a dip in your own private pool at a villa in Jimbaran
Energetic guests can try paddle-boarding, kayaking and surfing lessons. I opt for Hatha yoga, revitalised as I meditate to a soundtrack of waves crashing against rocks.
Uluwatu monkey temple is nearby. From the lofty pinnacle of the park, you’re rewarded with breath-taking ocean panoramas. Tirta Empul temple in Tampaksiring, bustling with pilgrims, is also worth a visit.
Closer to Jimbaran is Pedang Pedang - the hidden beach of fantasies. After a climb down a winding staircase you’re confronted with a paradise expanse that stole a scene in Eat, Pray, Love.
Blessed with a cinematic backdrop, intriguing spirituality and glamorous hotels, the magic of a spa break in Bali will linger with you long after you've left.
