Looking to escape? Here are the week’s hottest getaways

Keep up to date on the latest travel news, from an Arctic adventure to a peaceful Balinese retreat and a culinary safari in the Top End.

Buahan, a Banyan Tree resort in Bali. 

Quiet luxury

The pursuit of tranquillity has shaped the latest retreat from Buahan, A Banyan Tree Escape, beginning as the island usually shuts down. From March 29-30, wish-listers can luxuriate in the 24-carat quiet offered during Nyepi, Bali’s Day of Silence. No sound, no lights, no screens, no travel – the ultra-hushed experience is heightened by the adults-only resort’s “no walls, no doors” concept, which immerses guests in jungle surroundings, fireflies and all. Traditional Balinese parades and purification rituals in the lead-up to Nyepi are also woven into the program, doubling down on the cultural connection. From $3000 for two nights, two people sharing, meals and transfers included. escape.banyantree.com
