TL;DR

A practical Bali multi-stop route covers Ubud (culture/temples), Amed (diving, Tirta Gangga), Gili Islands (beach), and Sanur (day trips). Travel light with backpacks and combine transfers with sightseeing.

What the community said

From Nusa Dua, Ubud is the natural next stop — it serves as a great base for exploring the island's interior before heading further north or east.

Nusa Dua → Ubud

For a group of 7–8 people who prefer moving around, plan transfers to double as sightseeing routes — this way travel time becomes part of the experience rather than dead time.

A well-balanced 4-stop Bali route: Ubud (temples, rice terraces, day trips), Gili Islands (beach relaxation), Amed (diving, scenic drive), Sanur (day trip hub for south Bali). Travel with small backpacks to keep transfers easy.

Ubud → Gili → Amed → Sanur

Amed and Tirta Gangga Water Palace are too far from Sanur for a comfortable day trip — better to stay overnight in Amed rather than trying to cover both in one day from Sanur.
