Where to stay

Ubud for culture and rice fields; Seminyak or Canggu for cafés and the beach; Uluwatu for cliffs and surf.

Good to know

  • Traffic between areas is slow. Base yourself in two places rather than doing day trips from one.
  • Foreign visitors pay a tourist levy on arrival.
  • Dress respectfully at temples; sarongs are usually provided.
