My 4D3N Staycation in Bali
Need a break from your work?
Why not plan on a 4D3N holiday to Bali!
Bali is an ideal holiday location for your escapade, honeymoon, or even, great time bonding with friends and family.
For selfie-lovers, make sure you charge your camera and bring extra battery cause you can expect to have a lot of selfie moments!
Love the breathtaking sceneries and interesting culture!
Few weeks ago, together with 3 other great friends, we went for a 4D3N holiday in Bali. For Bali, I would usually advise my friend to stay at least 3 nights to take your your time and explore Bali.
If you are going to spend most of your time outside exploring Bali, then you should really check out Holiday Inn Express Bali Kuta Square with good value and good location.

Ubud Art Market
I love the Ubud Art Market! The locals referred this place as 'Pasar Seni Ubud'.
This is located opposite the the Puri Saren Royal Ubud Palace and is open daily.
So what can you find here? You can find beautiful silk scarves, handmade woven bags, lightweight shirts, baskets or hats; statues, kites and many other hand-crafted goods and souvenirs. Most of the goods found at the Ubud Market are made by the locals from neighbouring villages of Pengosekan, Tegallalang, Payangan and Peliatan.
If you have watched Hollywood movie' Eat Pray Love', there was a scene where actress Julia Roberts strolling through the stalls at Ubud Art Market (Picture above).
And here is a photo of me and my friends at Ubud Market!!!
Opening Hours: 08:00 - 17:00
Location: Jalan Raya Ubud main road, opposite the Puri Saren Ubud palace.
