TL;DR
Ubud is great for art and wellness but getting crowded. Nusa Lembongan and the Gili Islands are perfect add-ons — cheaper, quieter, and car-free.

Secret Garden Sky in Sanur is a beloved spot for repeat visitors to Bali. Sanur itself is a calmer alternative to Ubud and works well as a second base.

The Gili Islands (especially Gili Air and Gili T) are a great escape after Ubud — no motorized vehicles, snorkeling right off the beach, lower prices than Bali, and a welcoming vibe for solo female travelers.

Nusa Lembongan is another easily accessible island from Bali with a great atmosphere for solo female travelers, and pairs well with a Gili Islands trip.
