Holly Golightly Posted December 17, 2024 Share Posted December 17, 2024 (edited) I've been to Bali twice. In total, I spent a month in Seminyak, a week in Canggu, a week in Uluwatu, and several days in Lembongan, with a few day trips to Ubud, Sanur, and a hike up Mt. Batur. I will focus on Uluwatu as it is my favorite part of Bali. I know it's touristy but visit the Temple and watch the Kecak Dance. Just be cautious of the monkeysâtheyâre clever and will snatch anything within reach, including your phone or glasses. Bring some food with you to trade if they take your belongings. Melasti is the nicest beach I've been to in that area. It's about as nice as our beaches in Mactan. I absolutely love the food in Bali. In Uluwatu, Iâve tried many cafes, and standouts for me are Cashew Tree (vegan), Tarabelle (great for brunch), and Mana (which offers a pool and a stunning sunset view). Honorable mentions include Nourish, Ours, and The Loft. If youâre looking for the warung experience without risking Bali belly, I recommend Warung Local and Yeyeâs WarungâI have a sensitive tummy and didnât have any issues after dining there multiple times. For coffee, Suka Espresso, BGS, Chela, Ulu Motorcycles, and Alchemy (which is by Arabica %) are excellent. Alchemy also has an air-conditioned space with power sockets, making it a great spot for getting some work done. It smells divine in there, too. For nightlife, Savaya offers an upscale experience, while Single Fin has a more laid-back vibe. Savaya closes around 10 PM, but Single Fin stays open late. For a casual date, I recommend Il Salotto before midnight. The outdoor seating area is perfect for drinks, and you can actually hear each other. Ulu Cliffhouse is quite old, but we went there for outdoor movie night. The drinks are so-so, but it was still a fun experience. If you're into golf, New Kuta Golf is a solid choice. I didnât need to join a gym since I ran in the mornings insteadâUluwatuâs terrain is great for training. As for beach clubs, El Kabron and Sundays are supposed to be nice, but I didnât have the time to visit. Iâll definitely return for them next time. I might post about Seminyak and Canggu some other time. Edited December 18, 2024 by Holly Golightly Quote Link to comment
