For an avid tourist, there is nothing better than a trip that covers multiple destinations. This is not just a fancy statement; there are multiple benefits behind multi-centre holidays. You can explore more than one destination in one go, save impressively on travelling costs, and check off more spots in your travel bucket list.
With that being said, let us now mention the three spots which have gained immense popularity among holidaymakers. These include Singapore, Bali, and Phuket. The biggest reasons these three are tagged together are their proximity to each other, a wide range of experiences, and a single best time to visit all of these.
Now let’s explore these three destinations one by one to provide you a taste of what to expect at each one of them.
Singapore – Clean, Modern, and Chic
If there is a modern view of heaven on earth, it is Singapore. Whether you visit upscale areas or explore downtown, you’ll find this city amazingly clean, welcoming and refreshing. There is no denying the fact that the city is just like London and New York when it comes to the hustle and bustle, but it is far more organised, modern, and safe.
The must-visit landmark in the city is Marina Bay Sands, a building consisting of three high-rise towers with a sky-high infinity pool and observation deck at the top. This is an amazing spot to get stunning panoramic views of the city.
If you are looking for a serene and relaxing natural experience, then visit Gardens by the Bay, located adjacent to the Marina Bay Sands. The garden is filled with supertrees and biodomes. Make sure you visit this place after the sun goes down to attend the night light shows. People travelling with families must add Sentosa Island to their Singapore itinerary. The place is famous for its amazing theme parks, sandy beaches, and Universal Studios. For shopping buffs, Orchard Road is the perfect place, as it offers the world’s best brands.
The cultural scene in Singapore is also second to none. Explore Chinatown, and you’ll find countless temples, medicine shops, herbal medicine shops and traditional bakeries. If you want to explore the true taste of Singapore, head over to places like Maxwell Food Centre and Lau Pa Sat, and you’ll find countless stalls of local food. For a luxury food endeavour, there are plenty of Michelin-starred places to enjoy.
Bali – Peaceful, Green, and Sacred
After exploring the energy and dynamism of Singapore, it is time to get close to nature, peace, and calmness. Bali is known as the “Island of the Gods” due to its spiritual history and is a perfect place to explore the Indonesian culture and people.
The most amazing place to visit in Bali is Ubud, a town home to jungles, rice terraces, and river valleys. You can explore plenty of ancient temples, check out traditional dance performances, do yoga, and get a relaxing massage here. If you really want to explore the local spiritual scene in Bali, don’t forget to visit Tirta Empul temple, where locals and tourists take part in ritual purification of their souls. It is a truly humbling and grounding experience and relaxes your soul and mind.
If you want to explore the beach scene in Bali, then the southern areas of Seminyak and Canggu are perfect hosts. They welcome you with stylish cafes where you can try local cocktails while looking at the beautiful beaches. These towns are excellent for a surfing session; even the beginners can have some fun because the waves here are gentle. For honeymooners, the beach town of Uluwatu offers all they need in the form of hidden beaches and secluded spots for some heart-to-heart conversations.
These are the reasons why many travel agencies offer special Bali holiday packages. The things we have explained here are just the tip of the iceberg.
Phuket – Islands, Nightlife, and Snorkelling
Now to the last part of this multi-centre holiday: Phuket. If there is one place on earth that offers almost everything a beach lover wants, then it is Phuket. With turquoise water, white sand, beautiful beach towns, and endless opportunities for fun and relaxation, Phuket quickly wins the heart of every tourist.
Whether you have booked Phuket holiday packages or are travelling on your own, Phuket’s beaches are not to be missed. For family fun, Karon is the top name because the waves here are very gentle, and even the little kids can play here. The most lively and energetic scenes are found at Patong, and for the most scenic views, head over to the shores of Kata and Surin.
Phuket is the best spot for island hopping. You can arrange day trips from here to Phi Phi Islands, which were featured in The Beach movie. Or, you can explore the James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan or Ko Khao Phing Kan) if you want to check out some amazing limestone formations. These tours usually offer a chance to engage in activities like snorkelling and scuba diving.
When the sun sets, Phuket’s nightlife comes alive. The best nightlife clubs, pubs, and bars are located along the Bangla Road in Patong. There are places for every budget, and the fun is unlimited. In addition to these, there are many cafes along beaches that offer rooftop bars with live music and ocean views.
Wrap-Up
The fun and enjoyment are unlimited in multi-centre holidays, and this is why more and more tourists are now choosing them over single-destination trips.
