As the games approach, here are some of our favorite hotels and apartments to book for your stay.

Sisterfields

Sisterfields is an all-day breakfast cafe in central Seminyak that feels like it's been plucked straight out off the shores of Sydney.

Sangsaka Restaurant

Sangsaka is hidden down a nondescript road, so it's unlikely you'd chance upon it if you didn't know it was there.

Pica South American Kitchen

Pica is a small restaurant, but what it lacks in size it makes up in terrific South American food.

Mejekawi

This is a magical tasting-menu restaurant in a glass-fronted space along the shoreline of Seminyak.

Hujan Locale

Tucked down a nondescript road in Ubud, this casual, stylish restaurant serves some of the best Indonesian food in town.

Wamm

This breezy, open-air cafe in the quiet neighborhood of Nyuh Kuning, just south of Ubud, feels harmonious and welcoming.

Alchemy

This quiet and calm coffee shop in Ubud is one of the finest vegan establishments you'll ever see.

The Cashew Tree

By day, this spot—which has a garden and cabanas—feels slow and relaxed; at night, things get buzzier.

Monsieur Spoon

The main event here is the croissant with homemade jam—but the pain au chocolat is also worth trying.
