Question

am and my partner are going to bali for just 8 days, and booked hotel in jimbaren(one night), kuta (two nights) nusa du a (four nights), we wanna see ubud, lovina, and hopefully some experienced advice from you. just wonder how long is the travel time (bus/taxi) from kuta to jimbaren, from kuta to ubud, to lovina, to nusa dua? we are trying to fit a good time scheme before head off..your advices are highly valuable to us, so thank you!

Answer 1

I would not recommend moving around this much. I think you will enjoy yourself a lot more if you spent maybe 4 days in Nusa Dua or Sanur, 2 days in Ubud and 2 days in Lovina.

From Kuta to Nusa Dua takes about 40 minutes.

From Kuta to Ubud takes about an hour depending on trafic.

From Kuta to Jimbaran takes about 40 minutes.

From Kuta to Lovina is about 3 hours.

I suggest also trying to spend some time in Candi Dasar. Nusa Dua isnt very exciting and wouldnt reccomend it.

Kuta also, it is very touristy.

Answer 2

Have been to Bali a couple of times.  Found Jimbaren Bay and Ubud to be really good.  Didn't like Kuta or Nusa Dua so much.  Kuta is crowded,dirty and chaotic (but cheap).  Nusa Dua is very artficial and touristy but more expensive.  I think Jimbaren Bay was less than half an hour away from Kuta.  Ubud was more than one hour.  I don't know about Lovina.  You are moving around a lot of places in only 8 days.  Have you thought of doing 6 days by the beach and 2 in Ubud?
