A visit to Bali is, as always, replete with kindly comforts, beautiful resorts, fine dining, and immersion in ancient culture amid an island dreamscape. The following 2-weeks plan starts you off in Seminyak and then takes you to Ubud. Gunung Bakur, Menjangan, Jimbaran Bay, and Tanjung Banoa. The last stop is Nusa Dua, where you can treat yourself to a luxury spa.
Days 1-2: Seminyak
This hip, yuppie beachside enclave is a great alternative to the overrun Kuta just south of here. Lounge at the oceanfront pool at the luxurious Legian, followed by a sunset visit to the semple Tanah Lot. The next day, take a surf lesson at the Rip Curl School of Surf, followed by a sunset cocktail and dinner at Ku De Ta or Sarong. Dance late into the night at Hu’u Bar.

Days 3-4: Ubud
The 1-hour drive to Ubud takes you from the shore to lush rice paddies and jungles of Bali. The stellar COMO Shambhala (a wellness resort and spa that dubs itself “The Estate”) and Chedi Club (a collection of boutique private villas with personal butlers) are worth every rupiah. Take a morning trek through the rice paddies and get a back scrub and rub at Ubud Body Works Center or the Alila Ubod, both great-value spas and tuck into a gourmet French meal at Mosaic. The next year, peruse the numerous house-wares, shop on Monkey Forest Road and take a break at Monkey Forest, where you can feed the monkeys a few bananas. Late in the afternoon, take the 1-hour drive to Penelokan, a town that sits on the outer crater’s edge of Gunung Batur. The digs aren’t fancy here, but the best of the lot is the Lakeview Hotel.
Day 5: Gunung Batur
Make the 2-hour ascent of Gunung Batur. an active volcano. At the top, you can boil eggs in pockets of erupting steam and walk along one of the volcano’s ridges. In the afternoon, hire a car for the 20hour trip to Candi Dasa, on Bali’s east shore. The boutique Alita Manggis has good-value accommodations. beach-side massage pavilions, and one of the area’s best restaurants, Sea Salt.
Days 6-7: Temples & Diving in the East
Take a day trip to Besakih, Bali’s most important temple, and spend the afternoon wandering around the village of Tenganan, followed by dinner at Vincent’s on Candi Dasa’s sleepy commercial strip. The next day, go diving or snorkeling at the Blue Lagoon. If you’re an advanced diver, sign up for the famed wreck dive at Tularnven.

Days 8-9: Total Relaxation in the North or on Lombok
To truly get from it all, head to either Bali’s northern beaches by car or the neighboring island of Lombok via plane or boat. In the north, stay at The Damai or the brand-new Menjangan, all away from the hubbub of the south. On Lombok, the most luxurious choices are the funky Hotel Tugu and The Oberoi, with a gorgeous swimming pool and a secluded beach. Days 10-11: Jimbaran Bay Hire a car to the romantic yet local area of Jimbaran Bay, home to a number of the world’s top reasons. The cream of the crop is the Karma Kandara and the Four Seasons Resort at Jimbaran Bay. Visit the cliffside temple Uluwatu at sunset, Followed by a grilled lobster and shrimp dinner at Menega Cafe, the best seafood hut on Jimbaran beach.
Days 12-14: Nusa Dua
End your holiday by winding down the beachside or poolside at any number of the resort in this five-star enclave. If you’ll seeking a peaceful and quiet alternative to the brand-name resort, head to the pristine Balé, a series of minimalist villas with ocean views. The St. Regis offers fantastic restaurants and a top-notch spa, Visit Bumbu Bali, one of the island’s top restaurants, which offers authentic Balinese cuisine and cooking classes.
