Pick how many days you have, and we have already built the plan for you, day by day.
A week is a comfortable minimum for combining Ubud with one beach area. Ten days to two weeks lets you add the Gili Islands or Nusa Penida and East Bali without rushing. We have ready-made itineraries for every trip length.
The easy option is a private driver for a full day, which lets you cover several places. For local flexibility many rent a scooter, but only experienced riders should. Grab and Gojek are available in the south. In each itinerary we note the recommended option.
Yes, if you have at least ten days. The Gili Islands and Nusa Penida add beautiful beaches and snorkelling, but they take a ferry of one to two hours. It is worth giving them at least one night rather than a day trip.
Every itinerary is built day by day with recommended places, sensible travel between them (Bali roads are slow), areas to stay, and on-the-ground tips, so you can set off with no extra planning.
