but I have gone for 1 night before on a shopping trip (yes flight only 3 hours from me) but you can fit heaps in in a week.
Base yourself central in Legian or Kuta and then denpasar for a days shopping is only 20 or 30 mins away.
Sanur for shopping and beach walks etc is only 20 mins.
Ubud for a day trip is an easy interesting 1 1/2 hours(tops) drive.
Pacung and bedugal to the markets and mountains, lake and crackers bar and loos is only 1 1/4 hours drive.
These are all different directions so you see heaps in what are easy half day to day trips.
If you want to go to bird park or zoo or elephant park then stay overnight in Ubud and do the lot along with their markets.
Back in legian you can spend a day chilling out at waterbom so you can keep going.
I always have a massage every day for relax and spend some time in pool and read at night to wind down.
We are going for just 9 nights at christmas as a getaway and whilst it is not enough it is better than nothing.
