We absolutely loved Merlin’s in Ubud. The food was excellent and the premises itself are out of this world. It was not only lunch, but an experience. If you’re in Bali…defiantly make the time to check it out!
Room4Dessert - very interesting food experience with local ingredients and high class service
Mt Batur was amazing but very challenging Ubud monkey forest - great trip

Murni's Warung because they have a good variety of Indonesian to choose from and their apple pie is divine 😍 They have multiple levels to the restaurant and each one has a beautiful jungle view. They are also very reasonably priced.
I really enjoyed a cooking class called Ketut's Cooking Class in Ubud because I'm a bit of a foodie. I also really loved the Tegalalang Rice Terraces. A great spot to chill for the day would be Cretya Day Club in Ubud.
Do your research to find what you love but leave a little room for improvisation. People in Bali are wonderful so don't be afraid to talk to people. Have fun and be willing to try something different. Definitely hire a photographer (aka Flytographer) to help you capture your special memories.

Desa Potato Head - where I proposed! Such a beautiful location and cool space. Everyone there is amazing!
In Ubud we love Sami Sami and Sun Sun for local food. Bali Buda, Temu, Pukako, and Pomegranate are great cafes with an amazing environment. The last two are surrounded by beautiful rice fields. In Canggu, Sari is a fantastic cafe/restaurant with a super friendly staff and it's ideal for remote workers.
In Canggu we loved people watching on the beach and feel the surfy vibes of the place and the sunsets. In Kuta we had lots of fun taking a surfing class. In Ubud exploring the rice fields and go temple hopping is a must.
Play close attention to the local culture and architecture. Everything is so inspired and picturesque. Take time to meet the locals who are genuinely amazing!
Mama San - Seminyak Mango Cafe -Ubud Ibu Susu - Ubud
La Favela in Seminyak
Scuba Diving. You HAVE to go to Nusa Penida and see the manta rays!
Keep your plans flexible. There's so much to see and do, and each city and area has a completely different personality. You may fall in love with an area you didn't expect and want to spend extra time there or go back later. Make sure you give yourself enough time to explore all the different areas too!

We recommend hiring a local to drive you around for a day! It was pretty inexpensive, and they take you to some great spots including waterfalls, temples, and shops.

Be easy going and seek out new adventures and sights. Enjoy the graciousness and humbleness of the Balinese people.

If you can avoid the holiday season, do. Many neighboring islanders travel to Bali for vacation around Christmas / New Year, and it was extremely crowded. There was traffic everywhere no matter what time of day (except early morning before 6AM). We stayed in Nusa Dua, and it was incredibly far from everything due to traffic. We wished we would have stayed in Ubud or closer to that area to avoid it.
Sunrise hike in Mt. Batur, pamper yourself, eat a lot of food!

It is extremely humid and hot! If you have long hair, it’s going to be hard to ever wear it down

We loved the restaurant Opia. Try Blanco Par Mandif for a unique fine dinning experience. See Tegallalang rice terrace, Blangsinga waterfall, coffee plantation, Ubud market, and go to Tirta Empul. Stay at beautiful villas and swim in the ocean. Try all the food and watch all the breathtaking sunsets.
Go with the flow! If something attracts you, stop and take a look. You never know what memories are waiting to be had.
Learn about the culture visit a local market, temple, and enjoy the sunsets. Take a tour of the city.
Dont spend so much time in seminyak / Kuta square
Locavore in Ubud is amazing
Rent a scooter to ride around the local spots from the market, to the monkey forest and all the spots along the way. It's a sweaty palm experience you won't forget!
