Most people can easily spend 4/5 days in Ubud.
As for the seaside holliday, its a personal preference. Shopping v's relaxing/ avoiding inebriated idiots.
If you want to go to Lombok, why dont you slot that in the middle of your trip to avoid any connecting flights issues and so that your last couple of days can be around 'Kuta region' so you can do your shopping and have easy access to airport.
As for Lombok, many people do the beachside villas around Sengigi as it has some touristy restaurants and an easy day trip to Gilli islands by boat, or the south of the island by car.
Happy planning.
