Why I’d plan it this way

I’ve been to Bali fourteen times and lived there for more than six months. Most trips never leave the south. This route is my answer: the island is at its best once you cross the mountains.

Every stay, warung and timing window in this guide is one I’ve tested myself. Those are the details I’d share with a friend planning it.

I’ve been travelling my whole life. The truth is, I’ve never been rich. What I have is an eye for value, and more than fifteen years of planning and logistics behind every recommendation.

More about me and how I plan trips

Plan before you fly

Stays, compared honestly

Hand-picked hotels for every leg, from about US$40 a night to the Four Seasons Sayan, with the caveats included. Pages 15 to 18 and through each day.

The signature route

Day by day from Ubud to Kintamani, the north coast, Menjangan and Canggu, with exact depart-by times. Pages 23 to 71.

Extras and swaps

Ayung rafting, the Beji Griya water ritual, dawn dolphins at Lovina, and a bonus Ubud café and dining guide. Pages 34 to 51 and 75 to 82.

The whole island.
One unhurried loop.

Start in Ubud, cross the mountains to the quiet north coast, stay inside a national park you can only reach by boat, then finish with Tanah Lot and Canggu.

The swing over the Tegallalang rice terraces

Begin in Ubud’s jungle heart

Rice terraces before 9 am, waterfalls and the evening Legong dance, with swaps for rafting, a priest-led ritual or sound healing.

Deer on the beach at Nusa Bay, West Bali National Park

Go where the crowds don’t

Hot springs under Mount Batur, cliff-top coffee, then a boat-only stay in West Bali National Park with deer at your doorstep and a house reef steps away.

Finish in Canggu

A coastal drive past Tanah Lot for sunset, then beach clubs, spas and the food scene for your last days.

For the trip you want to plan yourself

You’re happy to make the bookings. You’d just like a thoughtful starting point, with the places and practical details in one place.

A route, with room to adjust

Eight days is the full-on version. Give it ten to twelve and the same route turns unhurried, with extra nights wherever you want to slow down.

Two ways to read it

The PDF keeps the original page layout. The EPUB lets you adjust the text in a compatible reading app. Download the files before travelling so you can read them offline.

Clear about what’s included

You’re buying the guide and its recommendations. Flights, hotels, transfers and activities are booked and paid for separately. This is a ready-made itinerary.

Hear from my travellers

The itinerary was so precise we never once opened Google Maps in confusion.

Daniel Smyth London

Bought one guide, came back for two more. That’s the review.

Jessica Marlowe Sydney

Saved us both money and arguments. Worth every cent.

A few useful answers

If you’re wondering whether this guide is right for your trip, you can ask me directly.

Google and ChatGPT will give you a thousand options and no way to know which are real. I’ve stayed in these hotels, eaten in these places and taken this route myself. You get one plan you can trust, with the details that don’t show up in listings: timing, transport and what’s actually worth it.

You’ll receive a download link by email after purchase, with both the PDF and EPUB files. Check your spam folder if you can’t find it, or email olga@luxetravelstudio.com for help.

Yes. Open the PDF in a PDF reader, or the EPUB in a compatible reading app such as Apple Books. Download the files before you travel to read them offline. Opening websites or booking services will still need an internet connection.

No. Use the route as a starting point. Add nights where you want them or skip a region. Eight days is a full schedule; ten to twelve is the relaxed version of the same loop.

No. The price is for the digital guide in PDF and EPUB formats. Flights, accommodation, transfers, meals and activities are separate. You arrange those bookings yourself.

They can change. Use the guide to choose your route and shortlist places, then confirm current prices, opening hours and availability directly before booking.

If you’d like a plan around your dates, interests and pace, I also offer personalised trip planning. That is a separate service.
