Headed to Bali April 2027 for wife’s 50th - requesting feedback and recommendations for best day spa / massage / pampering.
We are staying in Seminyak but happy to travel.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone I’ll be in Bali for 4 days next week and I’m wanting a superrrr chill time. I usually do hikes and all the cultural things but I’ve never had just a genuinely relaxing holiday.

I’ll be around Canggu

So far I’m thinking of getting some lymphatic massages, facials and sitting my the pool and reading.

But wondering if anyone has any good recommendations,
- maybe a yoga class?
- A nice spot for a sunset drink? (not anything like Finn’s beach club I want chill vibes),
- anyone know any colour analysis places??
- a nice dinner spot to treat myself
- any other chill, healing stuff I should do please recommend

So thanks to everyone who helped me make the decision yesterday at location A, host (of a beautiful 1 bedroom villa) replied that there’s construction 2 blocks away, would you cancel this? Host said it’s bearable for now, I’m not really sure what to think.

Sorry this is such a first-world problem. Is the noise only 8am-5pm M-Saturday? My travel habits are going out a couple hours and come back to rest a couple hours before next outing, I’m currently still in the free cancellation window for the next hour or so wondering if I should just book a hotel instead.

I've previously used Touch n' Go and GrabPay in Malaysia and the Philippines and Alipay in the PRC.

Are any of these apps or another equivalent commonly accepted in Bali or is it more of a cash based society for foreign tourists, similar to Thailand?

Anyone attending the Writers Festival?

I have a ticket for the 4 days and feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of sessions.

Any return attendees have advice?

Visiting mid December. Wondering if there are any local run groups or recommended paths to run in Sanur? Last visited over 10 years ago, so understand but would've changed 😀

We are a group of 4 in our 50s traveling with one teen. Arrive 17 Dec through to 28th. My sister has been before and stayed in Sanur. It’s my birthday while in Bali so I like the look of Merah Putih restaurant in Seminyak (if anyone knows is it ok)?

We’re looking at resorts over villas and I’m happy to stay in two places just in case we don’t like one. So far we’re considering Conrad Nusa Dua, Double Six Seminyak but open to other suggestions areas. Is there anything anyone can recommend for first timers. My sister & teen are happy to shop and hangout at resort. My partner and i would like to see some rice terraces, temples etc. Any assistance appreciated
