Bali Itinerary: The Complete Route for 1-2 Weeks

Most people would stay in Bali for at least 2 to 3 weeks, but what if you have less time? What choices do you make? We had 11 days and mapped out a travel itinerary Bali for 1 to 2 weeks that will provide you with plenty of variety. All stops are clearly stored in our Google Maps travel guide Bali.

Ubud Central Bali (4 Days)

Activities: Ubud, rice fields, Goa Gajah temple (1), Goa Raja temple (2), Mount Batur Viewpoint (3)
Accommodation: Shiva House

Even though we read that Ubud is very touristy, we still chose the place to spend the first days in Bali. We were very surprised by the culture, the environment and the people. It was just a nice village to stroll around, despite of the place crawling with tourists. How about your first introduction to the beautiful rice fields of Bali? 4 days gives you enough time to explore the entire area!

Travel Itinerary Nusa Penida (4 Days)

Activities: Pandan Beach (4), Angel’s Billabong, Broken Beach (5), Kelingking Beach (6), Diamond Beach, Atuh Beach, Thousand Islands viewpoint (7)
Accommodation: Jinga Home

The beautiful island of Nusa Penida is located near Bali. Here nature is even more impressive! In two day-tours, we went to the nicest places on Nusa Penida. For this we went out with a private driver who could also tell us something about the culture, the people and the environment. Simply book this tour at Jinga House!

Seminyak/Kuta South Bali (3 Days)

Activities: Legian Beach (8), Seminyak/Kuta
Accommodation: The Agung Residence Seminyak

For the last few days it was difficult to decide where we would spend our time in Bali. We heard many varying stories about the areas around Denpasar and Uluwatu. We no longer felt the need to travel much further, so we decided to take a rest at Seminyak and Kuta, at the western side of Denpasar. So we went to the beach, strolled through the village and had some local food. And in the free days, we also planned our next trip in the hotel. Would you still like to move around sometime? Then the beaches at Uluwatu seem to be recommended.
