Editor's plan5 Days in BaliBest for first-time visitors and couples · $50–120 per person per day

Five days in Bali works as two bases, not one. Nights one and two in Ubud for the rice terraces, the monkey forest and a sunrise volcano; nights three to five on the southern coast — Uluwatu or Canggu — for cliffs, surf and a boat to Nusa Penida. The single biggest factor in enjoying Bali is not choosing sights, it is not driving across the island twice.

  1. 1Arrive and settle into UbudTransfer to Ubud · Campuhan Ridge Walk · Dinner in central Ubud
  2. 2Ubud's temples, terraces and waterTegallalang rice terraces · Tirta Empul · Goa Gajah, the Elephant Cave · A warung on the way back
  3. 3Sunrise volcano, then move to the coastMount Batur sunrise trek · Sleep, then transfer south · Uluwatu Temple and the Kecak fire dance
  4. 4Nusa PenidaFast boat from Sanur · Kelingking Beach · Angel's Billabong and Broken Beach · Crystal Bay, or snorkelling with manta rays
  5. 5The south coast, slowlyA surf lesson, or a beach morning · Tanah Lot, or a spa · Tegal Wangi or Padang Padang beach · One beach club, and then the airport
