Im heading to Bali for Christmas. Does anyone have any recommendations of restaurants and must see places to go?

Where in Bali are you staying and is it with the fam, girls/lads trip etc.?

For restaurants:
Jimbaran bay beach - little huts on the beach that cook fresh seafood and tables set up on the beach while you watch the sunset.
In Seminyak: Ku De Ta is a good option or La Luciola
In Ubud: Cafe Lotus is just about the prettiest place to eat - its in the an old temple.

If you are in Seminyak I would definitely recommend Sarong. Completely amazing food, stunning venue and lovely atmosphere. Booking is a must.

Also, the tiger palm in Seminyak Square is great too.

I loved Grocer and Grind for a spot of lunch when in town. Has an air con restaurant which can be a nice break from the heat!

Also second Ku De Ta for a beach club hangout. A bit more chilled than Potato Head which also might be worth a visit.

Have a great holiday!

Christmas in bali will be wonderful!
I’ve been a few times and was there 6 weeks in feb/March.
Can highly recommend the following:
- Restaurant locavore - ubud. Listed in worlds best restaurants. Must book several weeks in advance. Incredible tasting menu.
- Karsa spa - ubud. Best rated spa in Bali. Cheap as chips. Book in advance. I had 8hours of treatments for c£60!!
- sunrise trek - mount Batir. Best thing we did in Bali. Collected around 1-2am. Trek up the mountain to arrive at the top for sunrise. Incredible experience. Take a fleece/light jacket as it’s cold in the early hours.
- canggu- the cutest, hip area with lots of instagram-worthy coffee shops, paddy fields etc. Fins beach club is lively.
- Gili islands - they are wonderful, what people imagine when they think of Bali. Approx 1km wide, white sand, clear water. There are 3: trewangan (t) - party/lively/young, amazing nightly street food market. Air - the quietest, beautiful, go there to do nothing. Meno - between the 2. This is a couples island.
- hire a driver for the day and go visit temples, beaches etc - it’s very cheap. I can send you numbers of ones I’ve used if interested.

Happy for you to PM me re anything specific
All the best
