Southeast Asia's hottest surf spot…
You don't have to be a pro surfer to immerse yourself in the lifestyle and surf culture of Uluwatu - one of the world's most renowned international surf destinations.
Just a hundred or so steps down a stone stairway will lead you to a cliff front warung (casual open air restaurant) perfectly positioned to provide not only jaw dropping views, but fairly close proximity to many of the top surfers around strutting their stuff right before your very eyes.
If you're up for a higher level of adventure including an energy cleansing swim, head down another couple hundred steep steps to the Uluwatu cave and white sand beach where the color of the Indian Ocean is a gorgeous milky turquoise.
Ask about the tide before you decide to go down though, as the cave can be treacherous on a high tide with big swell. This is where surfers paddle out to catch some of the most perfect and consistent waves on the planet.
This surfing mecca is located near Pura Luhur, a Balinese sea temple built in the 11th century! Try the Blue Point Bay Villas & Spa if you want to be within walking distance or Alila Villas Uluwatu if you're looking for eco-luxury eye candy.

"Summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes, and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.
A few of those days and you can become drunk with the belief that all's right with the world."

On a road to somewhere yummy…
Get your rice paddy fix as well as a good meal in a very eclectic setting on the road to Sari Organik restaurant in Ubud.
Located almost directly across the street from Jalan Bisma, this delightfully well maintained path leads you along a Disneyland-esque stroll through rice paddies and coconut tree groves, working farmers and playful ducks doing their thing walking in a row or splashing in the mud.
Originally developed as a community project to help Balinese farmers learn about non-chemical farming, the trail provides little recycling bins, a small compost area and rubbish bins made from reclaimed basketball hoops.
