My partner and I are planning a 3-day side trip to Bali in early April, after 2 weeks in Malaysia (Borneo and Kuala Lumpur) and a couple of days in Hong Kong. We are wondering whether we should choose to stay in Ubud or Seminyak.

I have been doing some research and reading the postings on this forum. I know the consensus is to spend a few days in both of these locations, but, alas, we only have 3 days.

We would have already done the beach thing in Borneo. However, we would also like to visit the night spots in Seminyak. Would it be too far and safe to travel to Seminyak from Ubud in the evenings? I estimate the travelling time to be around 1 hour. Is that correct?

Our itinerary will be mostly sight-seeing, some spa time, attending a Balinese Dance performance one of the evenings and checking out one or two bars in Seminyak if possible (such as the a Cafe Luna, Gado Gado or Double Six).

Any first-hand recommendations would be highly appreciated.
