Travel tips, itineraries, and inspiration for your next adventure!
Bali isn’t just a destination—it’s an experience that marries stunning landscapes, rich culture, and delicious food. Whether you’re into beaches, temples, or adventure, this island delivers something unique. With three days, you’ll get a perfect snapshot of what Bali has to offer.
Three days may sound short, but trust me, it’s plenty of time to experience Bali’s highlights. This itinerary blends relaxation, sightseeing, and a touch of adventure without leaving you rushed or overwhelmed.
Take only memories, leave only footprints.
Your first day is all about exploring Bali’s cultural hub, Ubud.
Get ready to enjoy Bali’s iconic beaches and temples.
Your last day strikes a balance between exploration and unwinding.
For Day 1, stay central in Ubud (e.g., The Purist Villas). For beach luxury, consider Potato Head Suites in Seminyak/Canggu. Budget-friendly travelers can opt for island-wide hostels like M Boutique.
Savor local dishes like Nasi Goreng and Babi Guling. Visit warungs for authentic, affordable meals, and explore Seminyak’s cafés for avocado toast and smoothie bowls.
Rent a scooter for $5-$8/day if confident, use Grab for affordable car rides, or hire a private driver for full-day convenience ($40-$50).
Ngurah Rai International Airport connects Bali to many hubs. Fly in early to make the most of Day 1.
Learn basic Indonesian phrases like “terima kasih” (thank you). English is widely spoken in tourist areas.
Dress modestly when visiting temples. Cover shoulders and knees, and use provided sarongs. Show respect to locals; always smile and be polite.
Packing light is key in Bali’s warm, tropical climate.
