Driving routes, distances and day-trip ideas nearby.
A ready week, day by day: highly rated places, lunches, tours and trips out of town. Ratings and opening hours come from Tripadvisor, distances are real driving distances.
An unhurried first day: the centre on foot, one landmark and a quiet dinner near where you're staying. Don't plan anything far — after travelling, getting your bearings matters more.
All day
A free day — the market, the waterfront, the next neighbourhood over.
Hotel check-in is usually from 2pm — if you arrive earlier, most places will store your luggage.
The fullest day: two or three key places back to back. Start early — queues build by midday at the popular ones, and the light is better for photographs after lunch.

Carry some cash for markets and small cafés — cards are not taken everywhere.
A day for what needs time and attention: museums, historic quarters, and lunch somewhere locals actually go.

Outstanding experience at the Away Spa
My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed the 60 Minute Balinese Massage and 90 Minute Morning After Massage during our stay at the W Bali Resort. The experience by the team before and after the treatment was great as well. Highly recommend the Away Spa at the W!
