Great getaways
WALK JAPAN
The gentle Izu Geo Trail from the pioneers of off-the-beaten-track walking tours in Japan ventures to some of the most scenic areas of the Izu Peninsula - peppered with volcanoes and carved by both river and sea - and includes spectacular views of Mount Fuji on clear days.
The seven-day/six-night itinerary (396,000 yen, or S$5,000, a person) starts in Tokyo, after which trekkers travel by train to Izu Kogen, where they transfer to a dedicated vehicle used for much of the journey, before arriving in Shuzenji, where the tour finishes.
Stay in beautifully located inns, enjoy bountiful seafood cuisine and luxuriate in soothing onsen hot spring baths while taking in spectacular geological formations, beaches, waterfalls, literature and epoch-making history.
The Izu Geo Trail is available from November to December and from January to May 2020.
REVIVO WELLNESS RESORT
Take bespoke wellness to the next level with the Bali resort's NutriFit, a nutritional retreat that includes a genetic DNA testing service conducted in partnership with GenePlanet.
Each guest will receive a DNA testing kit before they visit. The samples will be sent to the laboratory for an analysis that is then shared with Revivo Wellness Resort ahead of the retreat.
A tailored plan - meals, spa treatments and physical exercises - will be developed to optimise guests' experience and achieve target results based on their genetic predisposition.
From now until Dec 31, book a minimum of six nights 40 days in advance and get a one-time complimentary NutriFit package a person (usual price US$250, or S$340, a person).
