As your travel agent, I recommend preparing for your trip with a mix of practical guides and inspiring reading. For detailed planning, consider the latest editions of Lonely Planet Bali & Lombok and the Rough Guide to Bali & Lombok, which provide maps, suggested itineraries, and up-to-date information on Legian, nearby beaches, and cultural sites like Ubud and Uluwatu. The DK Eyewitness Bali & Lombok guide is excellent if you prefer visual inspiration, with photos and easy-to-read highlights.

To better understand Balinese culture, religion, and traditions, look for books such as Bali: Sekala & Niskala by Fred B. Eiseman Jr., which explains Balinese rituals and daily life, and A Little Bit One O’Clock: Living with a Balinese Family by William Ingram for a personal story of life on the island. If you enjoy novels set in your destination, consider Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert for its Bali section, which offers a romanticized yet atmospheric introduction to Ubud and Balinese spirituality. Reading these before you travel will help you appreciate local customs, temple visits, and the unique atmosphere around Legian and the rest of Bali.
