This shop specializes in womens' bathing suits. They come in Extra Small to Large. Some suits are sold in XS, S, M or L only, while others are mix and match (as far as sizes). The designs are really cute and innovative. Staff is very helpful. Blue Glue is a chain, so never fear -- there's a branch in Seminyak, too. Most bathing suits seem to average about USD$50 or thereabouts in price. You can even order on-line!
What to pay: USD$50 average.

actually this is part of the famous murni's restaurant in ubud.
the souvernir shop located by the entrance of the restaurant. you can find all kind of local craft, with friendly staff. of course the price is more expensive if you're good in bargaining in the market. but maybe you should check the price here before you start the bargain fighting in the market.
What to buy: all kind of local craft in beautiful display and fixed price

It's a rather small shop but I spent there quite a lot of time... It's a perfect place to buy not very expensive hand woven textiles (ikat, batik) from Bali and others parts of Indonesia. And the quality is really perfect! You will find there splendid cushions, colorfull bedding and tableware textiles, and handy bags.
What is also important - the salesperson is not harassing the customers. You can make your choice at your time.
What to buy: Everything in this shop! :)
More serious - take your time to discover all what they have in. And don't hesitate to ask for other colours - not everything is exposed.
What to pay: We spent a lot. But we bought a lot!

It's a market. Two storey buildings...quite big. Located at Jalan Raya Ubud. It's a famous place. Apart from the shops built in the market...there are also wooden stalls in the middle of the market. All these shops and stalls sell many things...mostly are suitable to be taken home as souvenirs for loved ones or just for yourself.
What so special about it? You can find so many things under one place and you can bargain to get the most reasonable price.
What to buy: Here you'll find things that are also sold outside such as wood carvings, sculptures, paintings, handicrafts such as handwoven baskets, sarong, silk batik, tshirts, blouses for women, home decorative items such as lamps, table runner, cushion cover, beaded bangles, silver jewellery n etc.
What to pay: Paintings depend on sizes n quality, handwoven items depend on sizes...but if you're very good at bargaining...a big size basket can be bought at as low as Rp50,000 (that's about MYR17.50) which I found very cheap coz there's no way I could get a big handwoven basket with that price in Malaysia, wood carvings n sculptures depend on sizes n how detailed it is, sarong...the one made in Bali (Bali batik they call it) is quite cheap...price start at Rp15,000, silk batik, silk scarf, silk sarong, silk dress and other things made from silk...they're a bit expensive...price start around Rp140,000, blouses for women also depending on the quality and style...prices begin at around Rp40,000, home decorative items...4 cushion covers and 3 table runners...around Rp150,000 - Rp200,000, beaded bangles each sold between Rp10,000 - Rp15,000 (more you buy more discounts)...keychains with Bali written on it...5 for Rp10,000 n etc. Bargain reasonably...if you don't feel the price is right...walk to another stall/shop.

Lily Spa is directly across from Honeymoon Guesthouse. Their hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., though they don't always open exactly as specified. Decor is rather modern; every thing looks clean & orderly.
What to buy: I had an aromatherapy massage with a flower bath, followed by a facial. I considered my massage to be average & my facial good.

Of the four spas that I went to in Bali, I would rate this one the best overall. This was by far the best massage & facial. They took me immediately, without an appointment. They are open daily from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. CASH ONLY!
I had the White Jasmine Lulur Body Scrub (125,000 rp), which included a traditional Balinese massage, shower & soak in a flower petal bath. The massage was relaxing. A bowl of flowers was even placed beneath the massage table for me to look at while my back was being massaged. My only complaint was that there was a bug in my flower petal bath. The facial was also very relaxing; I actually fell asleep.
On my return in 2008, I went to Eve spa twice. The first time I had a 90 minute combination massage, which was FANTASTIC! I was there again a few days later for a "body mask." This consisted of a massage, a "mask" (either Balinese boreh or mud) & the flower petal bath. I opted for the Balinese boreh, which was truly amazing to me. Once she massaged me & covered me in the spices, she wrapped me cocoon-style in a sarong & left me to relax for 10-15 minutes. During this time, my back became extremely hot, enough that I actually felt as if a heating pad were underneath me. A huge mosquito bite on my right thigh began to tingle. Once the sarong was removed & I was rinsed off, my mosquito bites quit itching & my temperature returned to normal. I believe that the Balinese boreh is reputed to remove toxins from one's body. It certainly seemed to work on me.
What to pay: In May, 2007, prices were: Traditional Balinese Massage, 1 hr. (Rp. 75,000); Body Scrubs, 2 hrs. (Rp. 125,000); Facials, 1 hr. (Rp. 65,000); Hair Cut, 1 hr. (Rp. 65,000); Manicure or Pedicure, 1 hr. (Rp. 60,000 with polish, Rp. 50,000 no polish). Spa packages are also available for Rp. 225,000 to Rp. 325,000.
