The Samaya Ubud 

Dining while in Bali will truly be one of the highlights of your entire trip as the experience is enjoyable both at high-end restaurants and at open top cafes. Hotels offer guest a wide variety of excellent dishes to satisfy every budget and taste. If you feel in the mood to venture out for a meal, there are many restaurants within Kuta, Legian, Candidasa, and Sanur.

The atmosphere of most restaurants tend to be relaxed, often with grass roofs, cane furniture, and contemporary music. In addition, mobile snack bars called warungs are popular for a quick bite to eat on the go in between meals.

The night markets are traditional outdoor eateries that come to life at dusk, and are famous all over Southeast Asia. Even if you cannot work up the courage to eat in the markets, you must visit one to experience the thrills, the smells, the sights, and the noises that define this part of the world.

Night markets and traditional outdoor eateries come to life at dusk with this custom being famous all over Southeast Asia. In the event that you decide not to eat in the markets, they are still worth a visit or walkthrough.

If in search of authentic Balinese food, venture outside of your hotel and the city centre restaurants as it is rarely served there.
 

It is best to check with the UKBA prior to travel to verify your visa requirement needs.

The electricity in Bali is 220 volts with 50 cycles per minute. You should check with your hotel to verify the type of converter or adapter you may need.

Monkey’s are very much a part of the Balinese wildlife and make up of the peoples culture too. Indeed within Balinese Hinduism, the Macaque, is the embodiment of both positive and negative forces. Ubud itself is home to a large population of monkeys as it is one of Bali’s conservational forested areas. They are present in the majority of hotels in this region but generally keep well clear of human beings. Westen & Oriental Travel do not recommend feeding the monkey’s or leaving food outside for them as this may encourage more aggressive behaviour to develop among a troop of monkeys!

Indonesia is considered to be fairly safe and has a low violent crime rate. As advised when travelling to any destination, make sure that you are always aware of your surroundings,especially when out on the town at night.
