When Was The Last Time You Truly Rested?
And I don’t mean watching TV on the couch. If you can’t remember… it’s time to let someone else plan the escape you’ve been craving before you put if off any longer
Exhausted? Overwhelmed?
You’re not alone.
If your day‑to‑day feels like a blur of obligations with work, family, endless to‑do lists, the idea of planning a holiday might feel impossible.
You don’t just need a trip. You need space. Quiet. Sun‑warmed skin. A book by the water. Someone else to handle every detail.
This is travel that doesn’t ask more of you. It’s designed to help you exhale, switch off, and come home feeling lighter.
Imagine a week where the only decision is beach or pool…
Wake up to ocean breezes and relaxing yoga. Drift through days of crystal‑clear lagoons, fresh tropical meals, and massages by the shore. No schedules. No mental load. Just time to rest - and reset - so you return home feeling more like yourself.

Want a version of this tailored to your travel dates, budget or group size?
Insider Note From The Living Blue Travel Team
“Fiji is always warm and welcoming, but Taveuni is next level. Remote, untouched, and wildly beautiful. It’s the definition of a true reset. I like to say I should have been born Fijian, as I have never felt as at peace as I have here.”
“I was lucky enough to have Living Blue Travel recommended to me. I now cannot recommend Jess highly enough.”
“Jess has gone above and beyond in every detail. After booking the trip due to unforeseen circumstances I had to make quite a few changes to the trip, Jess again went above and beyond plus some more. Jess is passionate about her work and was genuinely as excited for my trip as I was. Thank you for everything and all the extra travel tips you provided.”

Ubud, Bali

Focus: Mindful rest, gentle movement, nourishing food, quiet nature
Ideal for: Solo travellers, couples, or small groups seeking space to slow down and reconnect

Ubud moves at a slower pace. Mornings begin with yoga or village walks, followed by tropical breakfasts and long, easy afternoons by the pool or in open-air spas. Here, healing is part of the culture — from water purification ceremonies to quiet jungle meditation.
Why This Trip?
A nurturing environment rooted in Balinese tradition
Mindful experiences that gently invite rest
Space to reset in nature, without pressure or expectation
Why Book with Living Blue Travel Co?
I've been to Ubud more times than I can count, and I always return home more grounded. I’ll guide you to the quieter, more soulful side of Bali that delivers peace without the overwhelm.
Want a version of this tailored to your travel dates, budget or group size?
Insider Tip from the Living Blue Travel Team:
Ubud is a part of Bali that conjures images of healing practices, and lush green rice paddies. I have visited here more times than I can count, and while there are more bustling tourist parts of the region, I more often have travelled to the quieter, more spiritual parts of Bali. I chose to include this here because there is a peace and healing journey here that I can’t really put into words, but leaves me feeling rested and stronger every single time. Yes, it is a bit Eat-Pray-Love, but sometimes I feel like we all need a bit of that.
