Clifftop temples, white-sand southern beaches, and the spellbinding Kecak fire dance as the sun sinks into the Indian Ocean at Uluwatu - the perfect afternoon-to-evening escape from Ubud.
We drop down to the Bukit Peninsula for some of Bali's finest beaches - powder-white sand, turquoise water framed by dramatic limestone cliffs. Time to swim, sunbathe, or just soak up the view before the temple.
One of Bali's six key spiritual pillars, perched on a cliff 70 metres above the crashing surf. Walk the clifftop path for jaw-dropping ocean views - and keep an eye on your belongings, the resident monkeys are famously cheeky.
As the sun sets, more than seventy chanting men form a circle of sound around a ring of fire, retelling the Ramayana in one of Bali's most electrifying performances. With the ocean and sky ablaze behind it, it's pure magic.
End the night with your toes in the sand at Jimbaran Bay, where grills line the beach and the day's fresh catch is cooked to order. Optional and paid on the spot - but a hard one to resist.
