Dubai & Bali with Four Seasons
‘The Finest Luxury with the Perfect Surroundings’
Dubai is unquestionably one of the most luxurious destinations in the world, this multi-centre itinerary begins with taking luxury to the next level courtesy of a stay at the sensational Four Seasons Resort at Jumeirah Beach. Combining a stunning beachfront setting with easy access into the vibrant downtown Dubai this really is the epitome of luxury living.
Pair that with a relaxing stay in Bali, a natural lush green paradise with a coastline of sandy beaches and an inland canvas of iconic rice fields and rainforest clad mountain peaks. Multi-tiered temples dot the land and open zoos offer safari experiences, with exotic animals like elephants, lions and monkeys. As well as being renowned for its distinct landscape, the Indonesian island of Bali is equally revered for its welcoming culture and divine cuisine.
Four Seasons Dubai at Jumeirah Beach
This beachside resort is a traveller’s playground, with the waters of the Arabian Gulf on one side and Dubai's iconic cityscape on the other. Dine alongside views of Burj Khalifa at sunset at the open-air Mercury Lounge, join an adventure of a lifetime in the desert, or simply spend the afternoon relaxing poolside in a private cabana.

Together with unforgettable views and authentic arts offerings, embrace a deeper understanding of the island’s stunning landscapes and inimitable culture.
As you would expect in Dubai, there’s an extensive selection of dining venues at the resort. A few of our favourites include the Asian seafood at Sea Fu, the French cuisine at Verde, Mediterranean dishes at Nammos and some plant-based masterpieces at Folia.
Immediately in front of the entrance to Four Seasons is their Restaurant Village with four independently operated venues including three of Dubai’s very best restaurants.
There are four distinct dining experiences awaiting you at Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay. From the nightly live action craftsmanship of specialty chefs at Taman Wantilan’s international buffet and authentic Balinese dining at Jala, to the chic beachfront setting of Sundara with its modern barbecue and casual poolside fare at Alu, there’s something to satisfy every mood and craving.
