Seminyak

The south coast is where Bali does sunsets, beach clubs and an evening that starts late. Seminyak is quieter than Kuta and closer to the good food, and the beach runs for kilometres with nothing on it but volcanic sand and people waiting for six o’clock. Tanah Lot, the temple on the rocks, is forty minutes up the coast and best at the end of the day.

The drive

Into the hills

An hour and a half inland the air cools and the landscape turns into terraces. The road passes temple gates, roadside warungs and enough waterfalls to stop at two without losing the afternoon.

Ubud

Ubud sits in a valley of rice terraces and river gorges and has been the island’s craft and dance town for a century. Mornings are for the terraces at Tegallalang before the coaches, afternoons for a waterfall or the monkey forest, evenings for a gamelan performance that finishes early enough to eat afterwards.

Three nights on the coast and two in the hills is the split almost everybody wishes they had booked.
