The people make
the Loop.

Creators, founders, artists, directors. Everyone here has something interesting going on. That's the point.

Kapil Varma

Film Director, Bollywood

Behind Madgaon Express, Kaala Pani, and a Hollywood feature with Liam Neeson. Comes on Loops to find stories.

Pranay Bagdiya

VC & PE · Founder, Capsurge

Backs early-stage founders for a living. When he's not on a cap table he's on a Loop — because the best deals come from the best rooms.

Amruta Shah

Interior Designer · Founder, Greenbrown Studio

Designs spaces that make people feel things. Every Loop she joins becomes visual research — and she always comes back with ideas she couldn't have planned.

Abhishek Doshi

Founder, The Villa Collective & WanderLOOPS

Built two hospitality brands from scratch. Started WanderLOOPS because he couldn't find the group trip he actually wanted to go on. So he made it.

The Gameplan

Nine days.
Five cities.
One unforgettable NYE.

01–02

Prague · Dec 25–26

Land in Prague. Christmas Day on the Loop.

Welcome dinner as a group. Christmas Day in one of the world's most beautiful old towns — Gothic spires, snowy cobblestones, mulled wine in hand at the Old Town Square Christmas Market. Charles Bridge at dusk. The Loop begins.

Old Town Square Christmas Market + Charles Bridge

03–04

Krakow · Dec 27–28

Poland's best-kept secret. Two full days.

The city everyone overlooks. Krakow's Main Market Square is one of the largest medieval squares in Europe — and completely alive in winter. Two full days to explore at your own pace. Rynek Główny, the Jewish Quarter, underground medieval tunnels, and a food scene nobody talks about enough.

Rynek Główny Christmas Market + Old Town roam

NYE

Budapest · Dec 29–31

Budapest. Three nights. NYE like nowhere else.

Three full days in the best city for this. Dec 29 — arrive, settle, explore the Buda side at your own pace. Dec 30 — Fisherman's Bastion, Buda Castle, the Danube at golden hour, ruin bars at night. Dec 31 — Széchenyi Thermal Baths NYE Party. Pools, DJs, fireworks over the Danube at midnight. One of those nights.

08–09

Salzburg · Jan 1–2

New Year's Day recovery in the Alps.

The perfect comedown. Salzburg is compact, alpine, and impossibly beautiful in winter. Two days to breathe — Mozart's birthplace, Hohensalzburg Fortress, quiet Christmas market stalls, mountain air. The Loop slows down exactly when you need it to.

Hohensalzburg Fortress + Alpine Christmas markets

Vienna · Jan 3

The grand finale. Vienna for one last night.

One final night in one of the world's great cities. Farewell group dinner. Sachertorte. A toast to nine days that felt like three months. Fly home Jan 4 — changed.

FAQ

Questions?

Everything except your international flight to Bali. All villa stays across Seminyak, Gili T, and Ubud (shared), Savaya night, fast boats, all activities (snorkelling, paddle boarding, rafting, ATV), Mexicola night, all private transfers, 7 breakfasts, 2 group meals, and a WanderLOOPS host on the ground.

Indian passport holders get visa-on-arrival at Bali's airport — no pre-approval needed. It's straightforward and takes under 30 minutes. We send you a full checklist of what to carry.

Savaya (formerly Omnia) is Bali's most iconic cliff-top venue — world-class production, incredible sunset views, and an atmosphere that's genuinely hard to beat. Getting a group in together, sorted by us, is the right way to do it.

No. Most Loopers come solo. By the time you've snorkelled with sea turtles in Gili T, you'll feel like you've known everyone for years. Seven days in Bali has a way of doing that.

Yes. Snorkelling can be done with a life jacket — no swimming skill required. Paddle boarding is beginner-friendly. Rafting has Grade 2–3 rapids — manageable for most. ATV rides are guided and safe. The activities are fun, not extreme.

We have a clear cancellation policy shared at booking. Some venues are pre-booked — we'll always try to find a replacement Looper and work out a fair solution. Reach out directly.
