Start with the resort buffet (local and international choices) so you’re fueled for a full day; convenient and quick since you’re based at Anvaya. Hotel breakfast typically runs early morning—confirm current hours at reception.
Walk along Kuta Beach (immediate from Anvaya) for a relaxed beach start; opt for a 1–2 hour beginner surf lesson with a local school if you want active fun—good for first-time surfers and a must-do Bali experience.
Sardine (rice-paddy views, seafood-forward menu) or a nearby Seminyak café offers a pleasant mid-day meal; Seminyak is 15–25 mins from Anvaya by car and has many choices for different budgets. Most restaurants open from 11:30am.
Treat yourself to a spa session (Bodyworks or a boutique spa) or stroll Seminyak boutiques for souvenirs and beachwear—spa shops usually operate from late morning to late evening. A great way to unwind and recover from morning surfing.
Drive west to Tanah Lot for iconic coastal temple views at low tide and sunset—arrive ~1 hour before sunset to walk the grounds and secure a viewpoint. Grounds commonly open roughly 7:00am–7:00pm; temple access depends on tide.
Return toward Kuta/Seminyak and enjoy Indonesian fine dining at Merah Putih or a nearby restaurant for a relaxed dinner; Merah Putih generally opens for dinner from late afternoon to evening but check reservations in advance.
Iconic terraced rice fields ideal for photos and an easy walk—best visited in the morning for softer light and fewer crowds. Grounds open from early morning until dusk.
Visit a local coffee plantation near Tegallalang to taste Bali coffee (including kopi luwak sampler) and, if you like, try a Tegalalang swing for aerial rice-terrace photos (optional and priced per provider).
Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary with temples, playful macaques, and jungle paths—open around 8:30am–6:00pm; bring caution with belongings and follow guide rules.
Traditional Balinese specialties such as crispy duck make for a memorable Ubud lunch; Bebek Bengil is a classic and is open throughout the day. Expect a relaxed, sit-down meal.
Short visit to the historic Ubud Royal Palace and the nearby art market for handicrafts and souvenirs; palace viewing and market browsing are easy to combine—palace grounds are typically open daytime hours.
A scenic hill-ridge walk with gentle terrain and great late-afternoon light—open any time and is a peaceful way to end the Ubud day before heading back.
Dine at Locavore for an elevated Balinese tasting menu (book weeks in advance) or choose Casa Luna for reliable local/Western dishes. Both provide a memorable culinary end to a busy Ubud day.
Choose water-sport activities (banana boat, snorkeling, parasailing) in Tanjung Benoa or a relaxed snorkel/swim in Nusa Dua; operators generally run 8:00am–5:00pm.
Visit GWK to see the large Garuda Wisnu statue, cultural displays, and lookout points; park hours typically ~8:00am–6:00pm and make a pleasant cultural stop en route to Uluwatu.
Arrive at Uluwatu Temple for cliff-edge views and pre-performance exploration; temple grounds are usually open during daytime and into early evening—arrive early for good vantage points before the dance.
Traditional Balinese Kecak dance held around sunset on the Uluwatu clifftop—performances generally start between 6:00pm–6:30pm depending on season; book seats early.
Dine on the sand at Jimbaran’s seafood cafés—choose fresh grilled fish/seafood and watch the lantern-lit beach; restaurants typically open from late afternoon to late evening.
Enjoy a final relaxed morning at Anvaya — take a last swim or beach walk and pack calmly before check-out. Hotel amenities are ideal for a low-stress final morning.
Drive a short distance to Seminyak for souvenir shopping or a specialty coffee (e.g., Revolver Espresso) if you want a brief outing before departure; many shops open by 9:00–10:00am.
Have an easy lunch near the hotel or at the resort to ensure timing for check-out and airport transfer; aim to be ready for transfer 2–3 hours before an international flight.
Check out and take arranged transfer to the airport. For international flights, plan to arrive at the airport 3 hours before departure; for domestic flights, 2 hours is typical.
