One island · very different bases
Choose the daily rhythm you want to repeat. A destination base is a logistics decision as much as a list of attractions.
Start with the repeated day
Bali is compact on a map and slow on the road. Pick a base near the mornings and evenings that matter most; use one or two deliberate transfers rather than commuting across the island every day.
