Bali with friends

An easy Bali week built around long lunches and warm-water beaches, not a packed checklist. Two bases - Canggu first, Uluwatu after - so the surfers, the café people and the just-want-to-lie-down people all get their version, with a shared warung crawl and one sunset that pulls everyone back together.

What made this trip work

Two bases, not five - half a day of moving, the rest actually relaxing.
The food day with no plan beyond 'eat' was everyone's favourite.
Scooters for the bold, a hired driver-day for the rest - no arguments.
Booking villas as a group made the per-person cost tiny.

Organiser

Anna organised this one. “Don't over-plan Bali. Pick two bases, book one nice dinner, leave the rest loose - that's where the trip happens.”
