Start your Bali vacation by relaxing on Seminyak beach, one of the most popular beaches in Bali. Take a dip in the crystal clear water, soak up the sun on the soft golden sand, and enjoy stunning sunsets. Find your favorite beach clubs, like Ku De Ta or Potato Head Beach Club, and have a refreshing cocktail or two.
Head north to Ubud, an idyllic town set in the heart of Bali. Walk through the stunning rice fields where ancient irrigation systems are still used today. Visit the Tegalalang Rice Terrace or go on a trek through the paddies to see the rice growing process up close. End your day with a dinner reservation at Bridges Bali, a stunning restaurant where you can dine with scenic views of the valleys.
Visit Tirta Gangga Water Palace to indulge in the lush Balinese architecture and gorgeous fountains and water features. Don’t forget your swimsuit because the palace also has natural hot springs where you can relax and rejuvenate. Get a Balinese massage or a body scrub at nearby Kaveri Spa to end your relaxing day.
Head to the southern tip of Bali and visit the Uluwatu Cliff Temple for its breathtaking views of the ocean and dramatic cliffs. Catch the Kecak fire dance performance at sunset, which is both exhilarating and captivating. Book a table at El Kabron Spanish Restaurant and Cliff Club for fantastic views and delicious Spanish cuisine.
Escape the bustling Bali for a day and head to Nusa Lembongan Island, where you can snorkel in crystal clear waters and relax on sandy beaches. Take a photo with the iconic yellow bridge to Nusa Ceningan and explore this tranquil island. Grab some fresh seafood for dinner at The Deck Cafe & Bar. Or take a sunset sail excursion along the beautiful coastline of Nusa Lembongan by Expandyacht.
Set off at 2 am and climb the active Mount Batur to catch the sunrise above the clouds at the mountain’s summit. The trek is challenging, but the stunning panoramic views make it all worth it. Reward yourself with a visit to nearby Hot Springs or Kintamani Coffee Plantation. After a well-deserved nap, have a fancy dinner at Locavore, with its modern and sustainable cuisine.
If you have more time, add a day trip experience by taking a Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary tour, marveling at the Inside an Active Volcano in West Bali National Park, or heading to Sekumpul Waterfall. If you have less time, you can skip the Uluwatu Temple and Spanish restaurant or shorten the rice field tour. Don’t forget to pack sunscreen, comfortable shoes, and appropriate clothing for religious visits.
