Bali for two

Bali works because it changes character every hour you drive. Ubud in the centre is terraced, humid and green, with temples that are still working temples and villas that back onto river valleys. An hour and a half south, Uluwatu drops into limestone cliffs above a serious surf break.

For couples, the standard shape is three nights inland followed by three or four on the coast. It gives you the spa-and-waterfall half of Bali and the sunset-and-seafood half without repacking more than once.

Private pool villas are unusually good value here compared with anywhere else in the region, which is why so many honeymoons include one even when the rest of the trip is modest.
