💡 Bring a waterproof bag to Tirta Empul - the purification pools are splashy and the temple is best visited in the morning.

Walk across the tidal flat at low tide and receive a blessing from the priest at the temple base. Drive to Seminyak for an afternoon at the beach and sunset at La Plancha Beach Bar with bean bags on the sand. Overnight Seminyak.

Drive to Jimbaran Bay for a farewell seafood BBQ on the beach with fresh lobster, grilled fish, and prawns as the sun sets over the ocean. Overnight Seminyak.
