Tucked away in the monkey sanctuary of Ubud, this tiny gem of a place literally lights up at night, with a dragon possessing red, shining eyes on top of the roof. The decor is all European--antique with a bit of Balinese whimsy thrown in. The small but good menu focuses on seafood. Its European cuisine changes daily. Indonesian and Balinese food are also available. The emphasis here is on fresh ingredients and solid European food. Drinks include beer and wine. Alternatively, bring your own without having to pay any corkage.
Day Note:
After a pretty active first day, you'll both be ready for some serious pampering. You'll spend most of the day at Mandara Spa, getting couples massages and soaking in hot tubs. You'll catch another romantic sunset on Sailfin's seaside terrace. Cruise to A Bar for intimate sippings late into the night.

Description:
Its beachfront location is undoubtedly the greatest asset of Sailfin, which sees diners and drinkers flock here in the early evening to enjoy the legendary Kuta beach sunsets. As its name suggests, it has a distinctive nautical inspired decor that is light, spacious and modern, and a table out on the large outdoor terrace is a must where reservations for early evening are essential. Pan-Asian specialties such as Cantonese roasted duck and Thai curries offer a bold alternative to an extensive menu of Mediterranean favorites including moussaka, paella and tapas. There is a large and reasonably priced new-world wine list and a myriad of exotic cocktail choices. Sailfin is open for lunch and dinner daily until midnight. - Ray Montgomery
