WHAT’ S INCLUDED
With only 31 rooms, one restaurant and
one pool, Spa Village Resort Tembok Bali
offers a more intimate all-inclusive
experience. All meals and resort activities
(cooking classes, yoga, weaving) are part
of the Blissful Stay rate. The package is an
unbelievable value, considering it includes
a 50-minute spa treatment for two every
night of your stay, plus an evening of
stargazing and your choice of a sunset
cruise or bicycle tour to Les Waterfall.
UNDER CANVAS
MOAB, UTAH
WHY Camping is even more
fun when someone else is
pitching your tent and
preparing campfire meals.
Under Canvas, a glamping
outfitter specializing in
national parks, takes it
to the next level with
accommodations and
amenities that rival boutique
hotels. Its Moab outpost,
encircled by deep canyons
and towering plateaus, puts
Canyonlands and Arches
National Parks minutes
from your tent door.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
The camp is open from
March through late October.
September to October is
the sweet spot. Summer
months are less crowded,
but midday temperatures can
reach 105 degrees. Spring
days are often cloudy.
NOT-TO-MISS EXPERIENCE
A morning flight over Arches
and Canyonlands is a highlight
of the Moab package. You’ll
take in a bird’s-eye view of the
Martian-like wonders below.
PRICE Four-night package,
$4,400 for two people,

WHAT’ S INCLUDED
Breakfast and lunch
is covered (and
unlimited s’mores,
of course), plus
daily set activities
in or adjacent
to the national
parks. Itineraries
include white-water
rafting down the
Colorado River, a
naturalist-led hike
in Canyonlands,
canyoneering
in petrified sand
dunes and, after
all of that action,
a well-deserved
massage on the final
day of your stay.
SPA VILLAGE
RESORT
TEMBOK BALI
BALI, INDONESIA
WHY The all-inclusive concept
is still novel throughout most
of southeast Asia, but this
adults-only sanctuary on
Bali’s northeast coast offers a
special rate when guests book
directly. You’ll be welcomed
with a foot bath and shoulder
massage. And don’t let the
word “spa” fool you—cocktails
and fries are served poolside.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
Bali’s dry season runs from
May through October.
NOT-TO-MISS EXPERIENCE
Book a Couples Wellness
Day ($1,910), which includes
sunrise meditation and a
massage tutorial to learn how
to help each other de-stress.
PRICE Blissful Stay package
from $291 per couple with
a two-night minimum,
