Bali - 7-Day Itinerary

Arrive at your Seminyak villa or hotel. Seminyak is known for its upscale beach resorts, boutique shopping, and dining scene.

Relax on Seminyak Beach with its wide sandy shore and consistent waves. Rent sun loungers from a beach club or lay out a sarong.

Watch the sunset from one of Seminyak's iconic beach bars. La Plancha offers colorful beanbags right on the sand for a more casual vibe.

Visit this small cove beach surrounded by limestone cliffs, made famous by the film Eat Pray Love. Clear water and good swimming conditions.

Lunch with views at this cliff-edge venue overlooking the surf break at Uluwatu. Watch surfers ride the reef break from above.

Explore this 11th-century sea temple perched on a 70-meter cliff. Wear a sarong (available at entrance) and watch for the resident monkeys.

Watch the traditional Kecak dance at the temple amphitheater as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean. A chorus of 50+ men chant the Ramayana epic.

Depart Seminyak for Ubud (approximately 1.5 hours). The landscape shifts from coastal to lush jungle valleys and terraced hillsides.

Walk through the UNESCO-recognized subak irrigation system. The dramatic carved terraces cascade down a steep ravine with palm trees throughout.

Explore 12 hectares of forest with over 1,200 long-tailed macaques. Three ancient temples sit within the moss-covered grounds. Keep belongings secure.

Visit the Puri Saren Agung palace courtyard and browse the adjacent Ubud Art Market for handmade crafts, paintings, and textiles.

Join a local chef at the traditional morning market to select ingredients, then return to an outdoor kitchen to prepare 5-6 Balinese dishes including satay, lawar, and nasi goreng.

Visit this 9th-century archaeological site with its carved cave entrance, bathing pools, and surrounding rice paddies.

Hike this scenic ridgeline trail between two river valleys. The narrow path offers sweeping views of palm groves and jungle ravines.

Attend an evening performance of the refined Legong dance at Ubud Palace. Intricate finger movements and elaborate costumes tell ancient Balinese stories.

Early pickup from Ubud for the drive to Kintamani. The trek starts in darkness and takes approximately 2 hours to reach the 1,717-meter summit.

Watch the sunrise over Mount Agung and Lake Batur from the volcanic crater rim. Guides prepare eggs and bananas cooked in volcanic steam.

Stop at this holy spring temple on the return journey. Balinese Hindus come here for ritual purification in the sacred pools fed by natural springs.

Return to Ubud for a well-earned rest. Book a traditional Balinese massage at a local spa to recover from the early morning trek.

Take a 45-minute speedboat from Sanur harbor to Nusa Penida island. The crossing can be choppy, so take seasickness precautions.

Visit the famous cliff viewpoint shaped like a T-Rex head. The steep descent to the beach is challenging but rewards with pristine turquoise water.

Snorkel in crystal-clear waters with tropical fish and, seasonally, giant manta rays. Equipment is included with most boat tours.

Visit these natural rock formations where the ocean has carved an archway and a natural infinity pool in the limestone coastline.

Visit this iconic sea temple built on a rock formation offshore. Best seen at low tide when you can walk to the base. One of Bali's most photographed sites.

Browse boutiques and markets for Balinese souvenirs, handmade jewelry, batik textiles, and local coffee and spices.

Spend the final afternoon at the beach or by the pool. Reflect on the week and exchange favorite moments as a group.
