Recommended Destinations for Your 2026 Holidays

Quick Escapes: Batam and Bintan

Batam and Bintan are excellent choices for short breaks. Both islands are close to Singapore and easily reached by ferry, which makes them suitable for two or three day trips. Batam is ideal for travelers who enjoy shopping, dining, spa sessions and an active city environment. Bintan is a better fit for travelers who prefer beach resorts and quiet coastal surroundings. Long weekends such as Good Friday, Labour Day or Vesak Day are perfect for these destinations.

Longer Holidays: Bali

If you have more time, Bali is a top choice during long weekends that offer three or more days. Known for its beaches, culture, rice terraces and natural scenery, Bali offers a memorable blend of relaxation and exploration. Zoom Travel International provides several Bali options such as the Classic Bali itinerary, the Bali Swing itinerary and premium stays at Club Med Bali. These packages include guided tours, private transport and planned activities that make your holiday smooth and enjoyable.

Adventure or Cultural Trips: Other Indonesian Destinations

For something different, consider traveling to Komodo Island, Yogyakarta, Lake Toba or Mount Bromo. These destinations are better suited for longer public holiday periods such as National Day weekend, Deepavali or Christmas. Each offers a unique travel experience, from volcano views and ancient temples to lakeside scenery and highland retreats.
