For what it's worth, the largest association of retired folks (and with over 38 million members) is the AARP...the American Association of Retired Persons.

Each year it provides a list of the 10 best places in the world to retire. Very often, Bali is on that list.

Within Bali, I would pick Ubud as the best spot...but I freely admit to my personal bias for Ubud.
