Like you we always spend time in Ubud but we do have short stays in other areas too. We have now covered much of the island. We find this gives us time to see/experience a district with a little more depth than just day trips. This time we are staying in Ubud, Canggu, Tabanan and Tuban. Three/4 nights in an area is just right as you don't feel you are constantly on the move and it gives you time to relax as well as look around. Really, it depends on how you like to spend your time. My favourite place so far, other than Ubud, was the Mt Batakaru district. However, if you need to shop every day this area wouldn't suit you. One day, I would like to return to Pemuteran so we can spend some time in the National Park - ran out of time during previous visit - but really enjoyed our day of snorkelling at Menjangan Island. Next time we hope to stay at a couple of places on the east coast.
