Kintamani is the highland day trip from Ubud, Bali, about an hour north, for single-origin Kintamani Arabica, plantation tastings and caldera-view cafes.
TipCafes on Jalan Penelokan open around 05:30, handy after a sunrise trek; at a coffee tasting ask for the single-origin Kintamani Arabica.
Bedugul is a cool-air highland day trip in Bali built around Candi Kuning Market, roadside strawberries, ayam betutu and fresh lake fish from local warungs.
TipTaste before you buy: vendors at Bedugul Traditional Market usually offer fruit samples, and the market is open from 09:00 to 18:00.
Farm-garden cooking classes, early market visits and paddock-to-plate lunches among rice terraces make Sidemen Valley an east Bali food trip from Ubud.
TipPick a class that starts in a farm garden or at an early morning market, as The Bali Sun describes; Asri Dining at Samanvaya cooks paddock to plate.
Coffee farms and family-run warung lunches draw visitors to Munduk in north Bali, about 60 km and two hours from Ubud, though most stay a night.
TipRestaurants in Munduk close earlier than in Canggu or Seminyak, so check hours; Warung Classic and family-run Warung Heaven both serve Balinese food.
Jatiluwih is the UNESCO-listed rice terrace day trip in Tabanan, Bali, for terrace-view lunches and home-grown organic coffee, 1.5 hours from Seminyak.
TipSome terrace food stalls got removal orders in December 2025, so check what is open; Bhuana Agung and Gong Jatiluwih are the bigger lunch stops.
Hand-made sea salt and seafood from the morning catch are the draw at Amed in far east Bali, about 2 to 2.5 hours from Ubud on a winding road.
TipVisit the Amed Salt Centre to see sea salt dried and moulded by hand, then eat at a seafront warung; jukung boats set out at dawn.
