If you're looking to explore the real Bali, a stay in serene Ubud followed by the coastal resort of Candidasa is a great combination.
Experience the spiritual charm of Ubud, a bohemian town situated inland among the hills of central Bali. Trek among the rice terraces, search for batik paintings and wood carvings at the art markets and discover the many temples in this area before retiring to your hotel and soaking up the beautiful scenery that surrounds you.
Combine this with Candidasa found on the tranquil east coast. This small coastal town is surrounded by lush rice fields, traditional villages and close to some excellent diving and snorkelling sites. The sleepy pace of life and charming boutique hotels here are the perfect hideaway for a few days of rest and relaxation.
