Itineraries

Seven Days Across Four Balis

The full island: cliffs, jungle, highlands and the quiet east. More driving than the others, and worth it.

Request this itinerary

The short answer

Seven days lets you see four different Balis — the Uluwatu cliffs, Ubud's river valleys, the cool highlands around Munduk and the quiet rice country of Sidemen — at the cost of roughly nine hours behind a driver across the week.

  • Four bases, three of them rural
  • About nine hours driving in total, spread out
  • Highlands are noticeably cooler at night
  • Sidemen is where couples ask to stay longer

Day by day

Seven Days

A shape, not a schedule. Every day here is moved around to suit you.

Arrival, Uluwatu

Forty-five minutes from the airport to the cliffs. Nothing planned but sunset from wherever you are staying.

Cliffs and the sea temple

Private yoga on the terrace, then the clifftop temple early, before the coaches. The afternoon is yours.

Inland to Ubud

Ninety minutes north through the rice country. Settle into a river-valley villa and eat in that night.

Terraces and water temples

A sunrise walk on a quiet stretch of the Tegalalang terraces, then a purification ritual at a water temple, and a spa ritual in the afternoon.

Up to the highlands

Two and a half hours to Munduk, through the coffee and clove plantations. Cooler, greener, and the waterfalls are the reason to come.

East to Sidemen

Three hours across to the Sidemen valley — volcanic peaks, terraced rice, almost nobody. The quietest night of the week.

A last morning in the valley

Optional sunrise yoga among the paddies, a slow breakfast, and the transfer back down to the airport.

Four moves in seven nights is the most we recommend. If that sounds like a lot, dropping Munduk and giving the nights to Sidemen is the change we suggest most often.

Making it yours

This Is a Starting Point

Nobody travels this itinerary exactly as written. These are the three changes couples ask for most.

Slow it down

The commonest request, and usually the right one. Dropping one location and keeping the nights turns a tour into a honeymoon.

More wellness, fewer temples

Daily yoga on the deck, a second spa ritual, and the drive time that would have gone to a fourth temple given back to you.

Add a day on the water

A private boat to the Nusa islands slots into any of these itineraries and is the day couples most often say they would repeat.

Before you write to us

Questions About This Itinerary

Is four bases too many?

It is the most we will recommend for seven nights. If the driving concerns you, drop Munduk and give those nights to Sidemen — you lose the waterfalls and gain two unhurried days.

How cold do the highlands get?

Munduk sits high enough that evenings are genuinely cool — bring something with sleeves. It is the one part of Bali where that is true.

Could we add a boat day?

Yes, and it slots in most easily after Ubud. It adds a day, so it becomes an eight-night trip.

Is Sidemen worth the three-hour drive?

It is the part of this itinerary couples write to us about afterwards. The drive is scenic rather than tedious.

Is the price per person?

Per couple, land only. Flights, most lunches and dinners, insurance and visas sit outside it.
