ACCOMMODATIONS

getting there differently

The dense, mountainous jungles of Southeast Asia roll into lush coasts of white sand and tranquil turquoise seas, making for a beautiful landscape to discover. While golf and tourism are booming, the highway system has yet to catch up and as a result, traversing the region by land presents challenges.

Kalos Golf has orchestrated a special itinerary that allows us to comfortably explore the cultural highlights of Southeast Asia by using privately chartered flights. These chartered aircraft allow us to offer direct and expedited service through customs, immigration and baggage claim, eliminating the hassle of traditional air travel so we can maximize our time in each location. Our local staff collects your luggage and ensures that it is in your room upon arrival.

Chartered flights on our journey are in the comfort of an A320 that typically accommodates 180 passengers. Our tour is limited to 60 passengers, ensuring that our short, one-hour and thirty-minute flights are made with ease.

The truth about great international golf courses is that they are typically in close proximity to fascinating cultural and historic venues, immersed in unique landscapes ripe for discovery, making our trips ideal for couples in which one spouse is a passionate golfer, and one may rather tour. We dedicate as much purpose to planning and executing our touring programs as we do our golf line-up; no other golf tour operator can make this promise.

We know our clients demand stimulating experiences beyond golf and strive to present our guests with a rich blend of choices between golf and touring each day. Even the heartiest golfers among our guests often remark, “it was tough to decide today between the tour and the links.”

Each day, touring passengers will have the option to experience fascinating cultural and historic or culinary and wine tours. On some days, golfers and tour guests will spend the day touring together and on others, they will get together for a private wine tasting or tour after golf.

We challenge you to fi nd a touring program with any other luxury golf tour operator that is as robust, inclusive and exclusive as you will fi nd on a Kalos Golf tour.
