Bali Essentials
Ubud + Nusa Dua · 10 nights — culture first, beach afterwards.
It's easy to think of Bali as a beach holiday. But some of the experiences that make Bali feel unmistakably Bali are found away from the coast.
- Ubud gives you the temples, rice terraces, tropical landscapes, traditional crafts, food and culture.
- Nusa Dua gives you the beach, resorts and time to properly slow down.
- Three nights exploring. Seven nights by the sea.
- Two very different sides of the island, combined without turning your holiday into a constant journey between hotels.
Culture first. Beach afterwards. One easy Bali escape.
Three nights gives you a taste of Bali beyond the beach, while a full week on the coast gives you plenty of time to relax, explore or do very little at all. Optional upgrades available.
Day by day
Ubud
Discover Bali's cultural heart
Your Bali escape begins inland, surrounded by tropical greenery, rice fields, temples and traditional villages.
Ubud has long been one of the island's cultural centres, with art, crafts, dance, temples and Balinese traditions all part of everyday life.
Spend your time exploring the town and its surroundings, visit temples and rice terraces, discover local markets, try Balinese food or head further into the countryside for waterfalls and extraordinary tropical scenery.
You don't need to fill every hour. Part of Ubud's appeal is simply slowing down enough to enjoy where you are.
Why Ubud?
Because Bali is much more than its beaches.
Starting in Ubud gives you the culture, landscapes and traditions that make the island distinctive before your beach stay begins. It creates the contrast that makes this itinerary work.

Make it extra special
Looking for even more from your escape? Here are a few experiences you might like to consider adding to your plans.
Ubud & Rice Terrace Experience
Discover Ubud and the surrounding countryside, combining temples, traditional villages and some of Bali's famous rice-terrace landscapes.
Balinese Cooking Experience
Visit a local market or learn more about traditional ingredients before preparing and enjoying a selection of Balinese dishes.
Bali Temple & Waterfall Experience
Head beyond Ubud to discover some of the temples, waterfalls and tropical landscapes of central Bali.
Optional experiences are not included in the advertised package price unless stated. Prices, availability, inclusions and transfers will be subject to booking locally.
Ubud to Nusa Dua
Leave the green landscapes of Ubud behind and travel south towards the coast.
Check into your beach resort in Nusa Dua and settle in.
The sightseeing part of your escape isn't over – but from here, the pace is entirely up to you.
Nusa Dua
Time to slow everything down
After discovering Bali's cultural side, spend seven nights enjoying its tropical coast.
Nusa Dua is known for its beach resorts, landscaped surroundings and long stretches of coast, making it an easy place to relax at the end of a Bali holiday.
Spend your days beside the pool or sea, enjoy your resort, try watersports, head out for dinner or use your beach base to discover more of southern Bali.
Seven nights means you don't have to choose between exploring and doing absolutely nothing. There is time for both.
Why Nusa Dua?
Because after Ubud, it gives you exactly what the itinerary needs – a change of pace.
Where Ubud is about culture, landscapes and exploring, Nusa Dua is about sea, sunshine and resort time. Together, they create a Bali holiday that feels varied without feeling complicated.
