Bali & Lombok

7 places we would send our friends to

Three weeks on Bali and Lombok in September and October 2026. Seminyak for beach, restaurants, shopping and atmosphere; Ubud for the best food of our trip; Uluwatu and Nusa Dua for beautiful resorts and beaches; Lombok for quiet days and wonderful landscapes. Bali is very busy these days – choosing the right area, hotel, transfers and trips makes a big difference.
