🗺️About Bali
Bali is a holiday paradise.
From Hong Kong, it’s about a 5-hour direct flight.
Besides relatively low prices, you can experience top-notch scenery, service, and accommodation.
Whether it’s a couple’s trip, honeymoon, a group of friends, or family fun, it’s all very suitable.
And besides Western food, there are also plenty of Japanese and Korean cuisines.
No need to worry about lack of choices👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
📍Itinerary
This time it’s a 4-day, 4-night business trip, just myself, so no special arrangements.
(Flight departs early morning on day 1, returns early morning on day 5)
- Sanur beach city walk, SPA
- Sanur sea diving
- Seminyak city walk shopping, visit nice cafes
👉Day 1 Chill and explore Sanur
🧭Route
After arriving in the morning, I called Grab directly from the airport to the hotel in Sanur to drop off luggage.
Then started a full day Sanur city walk.
Walking along the beach and inner streets, you’ll find many spa centers and restaurants, over 80% are high quality. I recommend checking reviews online right away.
Because of work planning, I chose a seaside restaurant to sit at called Stuja di Pantai (serves Indonesian street food, pizza, pasta, etc., drinks include coffee, cocktails, soft drinks, etc.) Mainly for the atmosphere, not expensive.
🌟Or you can book a spa to relax for the whole day and relieve the fatigue from the early morning flight.
Day 2 Workday
Worked the whole day, visited rice terraces, waterfalls, and Saba black sand beach for horseback riding.
Horseback riding on the beach costs about $450 per horse for ~1 hour.
All these spots can be visited in one day, but you must hire a car (~$600-$700 HKD).
Because traffic jams in Bali are very serious, remember to discuss the itinerary and departure time with the driver in advance‼️‼️
Day 3
No doubt about Bali’s water quality, so diving is a must‼️
The instructor showed me many giant manta rays.
The scene of them swimming right in front of me was truly unforgettable!
Did three dives in total that day, including lunch and transfers.
Service was excellent, friendly, and very warm-hearted.
Detailed introduction and careful attention, highly recommended.
I immediately recommended it to friends.
Day 4 Shopping & city walk
Checked out from Sanur in the morning and took Grab directly to Seminyak.
Got off at Seminyak Village mall, surrounded by shopping, restaurants, cafes, and spas, very complete.
After arriving, I went to a Korean-style cafe (32do Bali).
Had to wait about 20 minutes, but the cafe and food quality were good, and the environment was very Instagrammable, so I recommend it👍🏻
After the cafe, called a bike back to Seminyak Village area to continue shopping~~
✈️Transportation
Grab Car / Grab Bike are local ride-hailing platforms.
💡If you don’t have much luggage and your destination is nearby, calling a bike is more suitable to avoid traffic jams.
🏖️Must-visit spots
1 Sanur beach has many spas and restaurants along the way.
Sanur also offers sea diving, which is a must-do activity‼️
Diving shop recommendation: Planet Bali dive
2 Seminyak has many high-quality Instagrammable restaurants and cafes.
Also many large and small shops for shopping and souvenirs.
Very suitable for a slow day trip, planned as the last day’s itinerary.
🥘Food
Must-try:
Indonesian fried noodles
Indonesian fried rice
Pork ribs
Various seafood
🏠Accommodation
1. Stayed at Bali Sanur Grand Palace Hotel for the first 1-3 nights.
Overall hygiene and facilities are good, water quality is fine, rooms are spacious.
Not far from the center, service attitude is good👍🏻
2. Chose a hotel near the airport called Solaris Hotel.
Strongly not recommended*
💡Tips:
1:
Hong Kong passport holders currently (2025) do not need a visa,
but some declarations are required.
Fill in entry information online in advance:
1 Customs declaration
2 Pay tourism tax
3 Health declaration
2:
Bali streets are very narrow, which is a common problem in Bali.
It’s recommended to allow extra time when traveling across districts for better time management.
For short distances, choose Grab Bike, which is convenient and fast, usually around $10.
For self-driving, consider renting a scooter.
3:
Try to rent 4-5 star hotels to avoid water quality issues.
Remember to check reviews before booking!!!
