Go to Uluwatu Temple – this landmark temple sits high on the bluff of the Bukit region in southern Bali, and is just gorgeous at sunset time.

Get a massage – there are many spas in Bali, either in the hotels or day spas, and the Indonesians are renowned in the art of sensual touch.

Have cocktails at Ku de Ta – this is THE place to be seen and be watched! Beautiful people, seascape and fabulous food and drink. Reservations are a must if you choose to dine.

Visit the Monkey Forest – Found in the lush hills of Ubud, this forest is monkey-filled and a delight to walk around under the shade of the trees.

Buy a painting – or if not, a work of art. Bali is oozing with talent in all art forms. Best buys can be found in Ubud and the surrounding area.

Get lost – literally get in a car or on a bike and go! The best way to be pleasantly surprised is away from the tourist hubs. Bali isn’t a very big island so how lost can you really get? And at least you’ll have a story or two to tell.

Go diving or snorkeling – on an island surrounded by amazing beaches, it’s essential to take the plunge whilst here. Either pastime will have you smiling, and there are some excellent tours to guide you if need be.

Go surfing or take a surf class – grab that board and hang ten! If you need a few lessons then various surf schools will get the job done. The Blue Ocean area in Seminyak is a great place to start.

Have dinner at Jimbaran Bay – The fish markets just next to the Four Seasons are right on the beach, and enormously popular for their simplicity in cooking and serving styles. Choose from the freshest catches of the day, have it cooked over coconut husks and sit back to eat, drink and be merry under a star filled sky!

Go to Karma Kandara – take the inclinator down to the beach at this fabulous boutique hotel, where gentle lapping waves await. Great drinks and nibbles make the day memorable.
