Hello folks my wife, adult son, and I will be visiting Bali from 5th June to 12th June to celebrate my wife’s milestone birthday. This will be our first trip to Bali, and we are looking forward to a relaxed and easy-paced holiday.

As of now, we have booked:
• The Westin Resort & Spa Ubud from 5th–7th June
• Hotel Indigo Seminyak Beach from 7th–12th June

Would love suggestions from experienced travellers regarding:
• A comfortable 7-day itinerary for first-timers
• Must-visit places without making the trip too hectic
• Good restaurants, cafés, spas, sunset spots, etc.
• Whether our current hotel choices are ideal, or if there are better alternatives for a relaxed family stay

We prefer a slower, more enjoyable vacation rather than rushing through too many attractions. Thanks in advance for your time and suggestions.

Although it really depends on what YOU want to see and experience, I’m surprised you are giving so little time to Ubud, which has a lot to offer and is well located for exploring other parts of Bali.

Only you can decide what are the “must visit” places in light of your interests. A good guidebook or two should prove invaluable for that. And you might find some useful information in my old trip report; the section on Bali begins with post # 128: A Memorable Solo Month in Singapore, Java, and Bali
