          <\/span>Day 1: Discovering Seminyak<\/span><\/h3>\n

          \"\"<\/p>\n

          If you are in Bali for the first time, we would advise you to locate yourself within the South region, perhaps in glitzy Seminyak. South Bali<\/a> is most popular with tourists, and for a good reason. Beautiful beaches, cultural markets, easy to surf waves (perfect for a first try), excellent shopping and gastronomic delights are but some of the draws of the region.<\/p>\n

          Here are some of my personal favourites and must-visits: Oberoi Eat Street, Seminyak Beach and\u00a0Petitenget Temple.<\/p>\n

          See villas in Seminyak<\/a><\/p>\n

          <\/span>Day 2: Explore Canggu or Uluwatu<\/span><\/h3>\n

          \"what<\/p>\n

          Canggu is home to many dark sand beaches, great surfing spots and fantastic cafes. Spend your day surfing or lounging at the beach, and fuel up at one of the See villas in Seminyak<\/a>. After which, head over to Tanah Lot Temple,\u00a0a true landmark of Bali Island dating back to the 15th century.\u00a0The views from Tanah Lot and its surrounding ocean cliffs are just beautiful, and especially during sunset time, the place has a magical atmosphere. After a day of exploring, it’s time to head back to your villa<\/a> and get ready for the last day of exploring the island.<\/p>\n

          If you are not keen to travel all that way to Tanah Lot, Uluwatu<\/a> is another spot whereby you can watch the gorgeous Balinese sunset. Watch out for monkeys, and carry a long stick to keep them at bay. Uluwatu also has a Kecak and fire dance show and visitors are allowed photos of the dancers in their costumes.<\/p>\n

          After watching the sunset at Uluwatu, it is a real treat to head over to nearby Jimbaran Bay<\/a> (10minutes drive)\u00a0 for a delicious seafood meal. There are restaurants along the whole stretch of the beach, and you can dine al-fresco on freshly grilled seafood and refreshing cocktails, while enjoying the sea breeze and sound of the waves.<\/p>\n

          <\/span>Day 3: Day Trip to Ubud<\/span><\/h3>\n

          Ubud <\/a>is the cultural heart of Bali, and also famous for lush green rice terraces. Relaxation, spa, and fresh, healthy food are the keywords when describing the lovely Ubud. On your last day on this wonderful island, start off with a hearty and healthy breakfast at Alchemy<\/a> – a haven for vegan food lovers. Then, take a trip to Campuhan Ridge Walk (it is one of the best walks of my life!), and visit the famous viewpoint of Bali – Tegallalang Rice Terrace. After exploring, wrap up your day with a spa or massage at Ubud Traditional Spa<\/a> and get ready for your flight back home.<\/p>\n
