I LOVE Bali
The first time we travelled to Bali was 26 years ago and have been a few times since so we decided to return to Bali on our first “post Covid” holiday. What a privilege and as always, an amazing experience!! Bali changed so much since our first trip, more traffic, more hotels, more people, but no less AMAZING.
Over the years we stayed in different parts of the Island and this trip decided to stay in Seminyak and UBUD. Seminyak offers that busy Bali buzz with lots of tourists, great eateries right outside the hotels, fantastic beach clubs, night clubs and lots of Spa’s for a foot massage or full body Balinese massage at unbeatable prices. Exploring Bali is easy, even with lots of traffic as the locals knows how to navigate the traffic calmly which puts the tourists at ease as well.
We visited the amazing Potato Head beach Club in Seminyak, Uluwatu temple with its amazing views, Garuda Wisnu Kencana, the tallest statue in Indonesia is a site to behold. We had amazing seafood and cocktails on the beach in Jimbaran Bay – always such a great experience.
Since our last visit there are so many new attractions, beach clubs and restaurants opened on this tiny island and we had to visit the amazing Rock Bar located at the Ayana Hotel in Uluwatu for dinner and drinks, which was unforgettable.
One of our favourite stops was Cretya Ubud, amazing food, spectacular setting, great vibe, and I highly recommend visiting this gem while in Bali. We spent the last few days in Ubud at an amazing peaceful, quiet resort. Ubud offers you the peace and tranquillity of the forest but a few minutes down the road and you are surrounded by restaurants, markets and so much more.
These are just some of our experiences on our latest trip but there are soo much more to do and see in Bali, I have always been partial to travelling to places where I get great service, good value for money and after not being able to travel since 2019 this was a much-needed holiday, so decided to book a trip to one of my favourite places in the world, Bali!
