Island Memories: How a Face-Connoisseur Tours Bali
Since I've been to Bali before, this trip didn't focus on checking in at scenic spots, but rather on casual relaxation. As a seasoned face-connoisseur, the places I chose this time were surprisingly satisfying:
🏝️Beach Club: What Bali is famous for around the world is probably not the scenery
but the hotels and beach clubs. Compared to the crowded Finns and La Brisa, this time I chose the tranquil Cafe Del Mar and the most worthwhile Savaya. The sunset at Cafe Del Mar in the evening is beautiful, giving off a vaporwave aesthetic; while the night view at Savaya can be said to be the ceiling of Bali beach clubs.🏖️
Nearby dining 🍲
🥣Restaurant: Canggu's most photogenic penny lane is really too trendy, the service attitude is not very good, but it's indeed photogenic; if you're not used to Indonesian food, you can try Canggu's
HoiAn by Mevui, the Vietnamese pho is very authentic; another recommendation is the cliff restaurant Malini in Uluwatu, where both the scenery and food have a Bali vibe; I want to especially recommend for the Chinese stomach
sentosa seafood, the seafood preparation is very Southeast Asian, and I think it's tastier than many seafood restaurants in Singapore.😋
🏨Hotel: I think boutique hotel enthusiasts or those who want to experience a different side of Bali must try Balquisse heritage
hotel, which combines French retro and colonial styles, and most importantly, it has excellent privacy. Often it feels like your own backyard, barely seeing other guests; another one is the Instagram-famous gravity, which is indeed very suitable for taking photos, but like other luxury wild hotels, the staying experience is definitely not as good as traditional hotels, if you're booking, I recommend their gravity suites for a more upscale option
SPA🧖🏻♀️: Bali's SPAs are all very cost-effective,
when wandering 🚶🏻♂️canggu, I blindly chose escape SPA, their volcanic ash body wrap is worth trying, and then Asai spa in Jimbaran is especially suitable for the last day before returning, because it's connected to the same brand's coffee☕ shop, you can have a dessert🍰 after the massage
