Indonesia - 11,600 Indonesian rupiahs to the dollar

If you can stomach the long flight, Bali offers incredible value for the money. The village of Ubud is one of the island’s chief draws; some popular sites include the Agung Rai Museum of Art, with a full calendar of performances, and the Blanco Renaissance Museum, once the home of Spanish artist Antonio Blanco.

For those interested in physical as well as cultural nourishment, the area abounds in spas and body treatment centers — the Ubud Bodyworks Healing Centre is one of the most renowned, particularly for its healing massages with founder Ketut Arsana; a $60 hour-long session is expensive by local standards but the best in the area.
