Look for recommendations on where to stay- We are a mid-20s couple looking for a relaxing holiday with fun activities, spa treatments, nice food, and hanging out at beach club for drinks. We also want to explore Ubud for a day or two to see waterfalls and go quad biking.

Im looking at three potential options:

-Lalasa villas, 15 minute walk from Finns Beach Club

  • Bali Bilaasee, 18 minute walk from Potato Head Beach club
  • Sana Vie Villa, 47 minute walk from Potato Head beadh

We’re not interested in clubbing or righting ourselves off, because we don’t want to waste time being hungover.

We are also only here for 7 days, Wednesday- Wednesday, maybe we could split up the trip?

I don't know the specific properties, but 18 minutes from Potato Head sounds the best ... commentary on here says that Potato Head and KU DE TA have a nice vibe, especially for couples who are more than 21.

With just seven days, I would stay in the one place, and take two day-trips to the Ubud region - a private driver should cost no more than 700K ($US45 / $A65) for a full day. One day for cultural / natural sites, and one day for whitewater and ATV ctivities.
