Best tea time place in Seminyak! Their high tea selection will allow you to taste bites from a mix of local to international snack. You must try their carrot cake!

a great hike that leads to a magnificent sun rise view! You do need to start from midnight from the villa, as it takes about 2 hours to get to the mountain base, and then another 2-3 hours hike to get to the top. But the sun rise view is so worth it. DO give it a try if you have the chance!

It is somehow still a secret spot as very further away from everything, no stalls selling anything yet, and few people know it! P.s: Free entry, or if you bring a scooter, it will cost just IDR 2,000 or car IDR 5,000

A combination of an interior shop and a cafe. Food is great, cakes are yummy, but I mostly go there just to explore what new stuff they have in their interior boutique. Do drop by if you are into interior and have time to just relax and rewind. Probably best during late afternoon for a coffee and snack in which to be continued for a short stroll to the nearby Petitenget Beach.

This is my favourite temple in Ubud. The temple is very photogenic with various of objects and moments to capture. But the most important feature here, is you can do a cleansing ritual with the spring water from the spouts, in which each spouts represent a different meaning. Please dress appropriately, do your research prior to coming here and be culturally sensitive. This place is A MUST VISIT for you to really get an insight on local beliefs and culture. Definitely not to be missed. P.S : I recommend you to take a day trip and rent a car with a driver to go there, as not so many online taxi is available in that area.
