Halal food

Halal food is easier in Nusa Dua, Jimbaran and Kuta and harder in Ubud, so always ask at small restaurants.
Large resorts in Nusa Dua often offer halal options on request; ask before you book.
Masakan Padang restaurants are usually Muslim-run and an easy halal stop on the road; still confirm with the restaurant.

Practical tips

Pre-book the airport transfer: the drive to Ubud can take an hour and a half or more in traffic.
Nusa Dua suits calm seekers and families better than Seminyak or Kuta.
Visit Tegallalang and Uluwatu early or near sunset to avoid the heat and crowds.
Temple visits are sightseeing and optional; swap them for nature and sea activities if you prefer.
