Desa Potato Head Bali Beach Club (Seminyak Sunset) Desa Potato Head Bali Hello, this is Mex Banjang saying hello. Today, I am introducing the most beautiful sunset hotspot🔥 in Seminyak, Bali. It is the story of Potato Head Beach Club. Why? Why is Potato Head Beach Club a hotspot? Let's head there now. Potato Head Beach Club 🔥 The delicious wood-fired pizza I ate while enjoying the truly satisfying sunset view... it was a night I will never forget. One thing you absolutely cannot leave out of a trip to Bali is admiring the red sunset. You can enjoy the sunset view while walking along the beach with your loved ones, family, and ❤️ your beloved mom. It wasn't a 100% beautiful sunset, but I enjoyed such an excellent view that I felt it was enough just for that. If you really want to enjoy a truly beautiful sunset with your family in Bali, I highly recommend Potato Head Beach Club without hesitation.👏😁 ⏰️ Best Time! For the sunset view, we recommend entering between 5:00 PM and 5:30 PM. 📍 Potato Head Beach Club Operating Hours 10:00 AM - 12:00 AM There were so many clouds in the sky that we couldn't fully appreciate the falling Bali sunset, but it was still a sufficiently magnificent sunset 🌆 📍 Sunset Mattress (on the grass) A place where you can comfortably lie on a mattress on the grass and admire the red Bali sunset. It is very popular during sunset time, so they say you need to make a reservation in advance, but we just went... Actually, we only sat at a table for a brief moment while eating pizza. 📍 Sunset Daybed (by the pool) Sunset Daybed by the pool There is a swimming pool 🏊♂️ 🥽 in front of the grass mattress. This is the spot with parasols. 📍 Infinity Pool!! There were many people swimming. Swimming while enjoying a cocktail 🍸 and a refreshing Bintang beer 🍺 A moment of relaxation~ You can look down at Seminyak Beach right in front of the pool, and right behind it is the night view of the flashy Potato Head Beach Club shown in the photo below. ✔️ Important Point! Check There is no entrance fee from opening time until 4:30 pm; entry is free. Standard tables are first-come, first-served! After 4:30 pm, it costs 250,000 Rupiah per person, which is about 20,000 KRW. For two people (Mex Banjang + Mom), we paid 500,000 Rupiah, approximately 40,000 KRW in entrance fees. (Includes 1 menu item + 1 drink) The entrance fee included a choice of one food item and one drink. It was enough for a full dinner, and it exceeded my expectations by 100%. It was more than satisfactory. 📍 Wood-fired Pizza 🍕 Absolutely delicious!! It was great. This is definitely a recommended menu item at Potato Head Beach Club. Parma Ham & Rocket Pizza paired with iced coffee. It is a classic Neapolitan-style pizza topped with Italian Parma ham and arugula. The harmony between the savory and salty ham and the fresh arugula was superb, and the taste was truly superb~! The Neapolitan dough baked in the wood-fired oven was truly the best. 📍 Why is Potato Head Beach Club a hot spot? The best sunset view point. The sun setting over the western horizon, viewed from the wide-open ocean! It is a truly insane view~ A place you absolutely must visit at least once if you are traveling to Bali. A bucket list item!! A hot spot definitely worth adding. 5 stars is more than enough. Please make sure to visit. Thank you 👏 😁 #PotatoHeadBeachClub #DesaPotatoHead

Here is an incredibly affordable villa that was an absolute jackpot during our stay in Ubud, Bali🌿 We originally booked: 📍Oka Suites Ubud but upon arrival, we were redirected to a sister property, and we actually ended up staying at: 📍Elena Resort Ubud And honestly, this place was a massive win...!😭💕 Believe it or not, for only around 3,000 yen per person, you get: ✔ A private pool ✔ Breakfast included ✔ A spacious room ✔ Warm hospitality The quality was way beyond our expectations✨ The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, and they really looked out for us during our stay, which made us feel totally relaxed and well taken care of☺️ For breakfast, you can choose between the restaurant and your room, so you get to decide where to eat. Enjoying a delicious breakfast surrounded by nature was such an elegant and peaceful experience✨ "I want to stay in a gorgeous villa without breaking the bank." This place will make that exact wish come true🧙♀️ · -------------------------------------- 📍Ellena Resort Address: Gg. Banjar, Sebatu, Kec. Tegallalang, 　　　Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali · --------------------------------------

Located in Seminyak, Bali, this spa has become a hot topic for its stunningly cute pink architecture 💆💗 Every corner is picture-perfect— it's no exaggeration to say people come here just to take photos 🥹 However, you can't just walk in for photos; only guests getting a spa treatment are allowed to take pictures 📷 (The staff were also very sweet and happy to help take photos for us!) As for the pricing... Treatments start at around 400,000 IDR (approx. 3,800 JPY). While it's priced a bit higher than your typical local Balinese spa, the combination of this gorgeous aesthetic and the highly skilled therapists makes it totally worth the price. ☑️ Advance reservations are highly recommended as it's a popular spot I stopped by around 9:00 AM without a booking and was told they only had an opening for a foot massage at 11:30 AM 👀 If you want a longer treatment or have a tight schedule, booking ahead is a must ✨ You can easily book via WhatsApp or their official website. ﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏ 📍Bodyworks Spa Bali Address : Jl. Kayu Jati No.2, Petitenget, Seminyak Hours : 9:00 AM - 9:00 PM (Open daily) ﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

A jungle pool I'm so glad I visited in Bali with the absolute best cost performance🌳 This time, I went to: 📍Tlaga Singha Bali Around the Ubud area, there are a few famous jungle pools, but the popular ones are pricey & hard to book...🤔 That's when I found this place!👀 Believe it or not... It's only about 3,500 yen including lunch💰✨ If you just want to use the pool, it only costs around 2,000 to 2,500 yen to enter, so its incredible value is definitely a huge draw◎ The jungle pool is a highly photogenic space from any angle, making it the perfect spot to just chill and relax🌴 Compared to the famous pools, another great perk is that you can enjoy a relatively laid-back experience👆 "The famous jungle pools are too expensive and probably crowded...😣" If that sounds like you, this spot is highly recommended✨ · -------------------------------------- 📍Tlaga Singha Bali Address: Jl. Raya Singapadu, Sukawati, Gianyar, Bali Hours: 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM (Pool closes at 6:00 PM) · --------------------------------------

#springtravel There’s a mystical beauty in how the traditional Balinese houses in Legian get swallowed by the spring greenery. The clean aesthetic of stone and wood peeking through giant ferns is breathtaking. It’s a soulful reminder of how nature and humans can live in harmony. During this "Spring" period, the vines grow at a mind-blowing speed, turning every villa into a hidden gem of a sanctuary. It’s a soulful place to disconnect and feel the ancient energy of the island through its architecture and its wild, beautiful plants. Useful Info: Exploring the backstreets of Legian. Free to wander and admire. Expert Tips: Focus on the textures of the old walls covered in moss—it’s a very soulful and clean aesthetic vibe. Why go: To see the perfect, breathtaking balance between Balinese design and the raw power of nature.

If I could only visit one beach, I would choose Blue Point Beach without hesitation. "Blue Point" is the name of the cliff area, actually a jelly-like sea between large rocks on the Uluwatu cliffs. The water color ranges from light to deep, from clear to dark blue, perfect for capturing stunning natural photos straight out of the camera [Like]. This is also the top choice for swimming and surfing! When tired, you can choose a café restaurant on the cliff wall, order a cup of coffee, enjoy the sea view, and savor delicious food. 📍: Blue Point Beach 🎫: Free 🆓 ⏰: 1-2 hours

Bali isn't just an island. It's a blend of the ocean, jungles, temples, and a unique state of mind you slip into almost instantly. It's incredibly easy to slow down and just enjoy the process here. Where to Stay Ubud For those seeking jungles, rice terraces, waterfalls, and tranquility. This is the more "spiritual" and laid-back side of Bali. Canggu The trendiest neighborhood right now. Cafes, surfing, nightlife, and digital nomads. It's vibrant, hip, and maybe a little overrated. Seminyak More upscale and glamorous. Great restaurants, beach clubs, and stunning sunsets. Uluwatu Cliffs, the ocean, and postcard-perfect views. Much quieter and breathtakingly beautiful. One of your best bets if you're looking for that "wow" factor. Where to Eat Bali is packed with stylish cafes, and the food scene is an experience in itself: · smoothie bowls and cafe breakfasts are a classic · seafood right on the beach · nasi goreng and mie goreng are your local staples · fresh juices and coffee Pro tip: You can eat incredibly well on a budget in Bali, as long as you don't limit yourself to just the Instagram-famous spots. What to See · Temples (like the iconic water and cliff temples) · Rice terraces · Waterfalls · Beaches and dramatic cliffs · Jungle swings Honestly, just cruising around the island is a highlight—sometimes the journey itself ends up being the best part of the trip. Things to Do · surfing · yoga and wellness retreats · jungle trekking · riding a scooter · catching the sunset every single day Important Things to Keep in Mind · the traffic can be brutal · your best bet is to rent a scooter or use ride-hailing apps · keep a close eye on your belongings (especially around the monkeys) · don't drink the tap water The Overall Vibe Bali isn't about flawless customer service or highly organized systems. It's a bit chaotic, sometimes bizarre, but incredibly alive. And if you're open to that—it offers you so much more than just a vacation. It's a place you either just don't get... or fall deeply in love with and keep coming back to.

Bali beaches aren't about calm and quiet swimming at all. They are all about raw power, breathtaking beauty, and the true forces of nature 🌊 We stayed on the Bukit Peninsula, choosing a place right in the middle so it would be easy to drive to different beaches—and it turned out to be an excellent decision. Each beach here has its own distinct character: Melasti — incredibly beautiful, with turquoise water and dramatic cliffs. It's one of those views that just takes your breath away. Dreamland — more rugged and atmospheric, with strong waves and a wild, untamed feel. People surf here, and it’s mesmerizing to watch. Nusa Dua — a bit more "manicured," but it still has that undeniable ocean energy. And, of course, Padang Padang — the famous beach where "Eat, Pray, Love" was filmed. It’s so popular now that it’s absolutely packed. The ocean here isn't the "wade in and swim" type—the waves are powerful, breathtaking, and sometimes even scary. But that’s exactly where the magic of Bali lies. You can just sit, stare at the water, and feel how much stronger nature is than you. Even though we never got the chance to actually swim, we didn't regret it for a second—because Bali gave us so much more: pure emotion, epic views, and the true feeling of the elements. Bali is an incredibly vibrant place that definitely leaves a lasting mark on your heart 💛

#indonesiatrip Here are some truths about the insta worthy famous rice terrace It is known as a very popular tourist spot and also a *tourist trap* because of several reasons below: 🌾The area is surrounded with lots of cafes that even offered you a fee for looking at the rice terrace in the valley 🌾You have to pay so called owner fees to hike the rice terrace as the land is owned by different people 🌾Come here really early, as early as before 7am as the porter has not yet arrived at the stair gate where they usually collect their entrance fee and you get the place for free 🌾The area is actually really wet and muddy all year around especially during monsoon season so please bring your best hiking gear or best yet *slippers* 🌾Avoid posing with any of the props given by the local unless you want to support them bcs it is not free! But it is still so worth to visit just be aware of all the reasons above so you would not have culture shock when visiting! - #aysabellediary #springtravel #tegallagangricefield #bali #aysabelleinbali #indonesia

Visited one of Bali’s most famous waterfalls today that has been on my bucket-list for so long: Tegenungan Waterfall 💧✨ What I didn’t expect at first is that you actually need to hike down quite a number of steps before reaching the waterfall, so be prepared because going down feels easy, but climbing back up definitely makes you feel it 😅 The entrance fee is around IDR 30,000 per person, and usually there’s a small parking fee too if you come by car or scooter. But once you reach the bottom, it really feels worth it because the waterfall is powerful, the surrounding greenery makes everything look fresh, and the sound of the water instantly gives that calm feeling. Be careful if you come during rainy season bcs the water level can be quite high and they might close the waterfall. There is restaurant where you can observe the waterfall view from above in case this happened and you had no chance to go down up close with the waterfall. This is why many people include it in their Bali itinerary, it’s easy to reach from Ubud, but still gives you that nature escape without needing a long journey. My tip: wear comfortable shoes because the stairs can get slippery, especially after rain, and come earlier if you want fewer people around 📸 Sometimes the best views really come after a little effort 🌿 #aysabellediary #springtravel #TegenunganWaterfall #BaliWaterfall #BaliTravel #UbudTrip #VisitBali #IndonesiaTravel #NatureInBali #ExploreBali

Found this hidden gem in Ubud – Mardika Private Villa. A beautiful wooden house with your own private pool overlooking the rice fields. The area is super quiet and peaceful, perfect if you want to escape the busy center. The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming. There are small shops and local cafes within walking distance. Affordable price for such comfort. If you're looking for a cozy stay with authentic Bali vibes, this place won't disappoint 🏡✨ #Ubud #Bali #PrivateVilla #RiceFieldView #UbudAccommodation #BaliTravel #AffordableLuxury #TravelRecommendation

Bali is incredible on its own. But just a 45-minute boat ride from Sanur lies an island that makes Bali feel like a mere warm-up. Nusa Penida isn't your typical destination for lounging by the pool. This is an island for those who want to experience something bigger than themselves—towering cliffs, unbelievably blue waters, and views that make you pause and forget you're even holding a camera. 🦕 Kelingking Beach: The Dinosaur Guarding the Ocean The second photo speaks for itself—and no words can fully capture the moment of standing at the edge of the Kelingking cliff, gazing out at the iconic rock formation shaped like a giant T-Rex head rising from the endless blue sea. From the top viewpoint, you're instantly treated to a 180-degree panorama—the limitless expanse of the Indian Ocean, two sturdy green limestone hills on either side, and a hidden white-sand beach in a small cove that can only be reached by trekking further down the cliff. The wooden stairs descending the steep slope are not for the faint of heart—they are steep, dusty, and sometimes slippery. But sitting on the wooden railing halfway down, with the monumental Kelingking in the background, makes for one of the most iconic travel photos you could ever take. 💎 Diamond Beach: Paradise Behind the Limestone Cliffs The first photo proves that Diamond Beach has its own way of introducing itself—not with ease, but with a challenge. The stairs, carved directly into the vertical white limestone wall, are narrow, steep, and exposed directly to the ocean breeze. A simple blue iron railing is the only thing between you and the breathtaking panorama on your left—a beautifully curved stretch of white sand, giant glittering rocks on the shoreline, dramatically leaning coconut trees, and seawater that fades from turquoise to a blinding sapphire blue. Position yourself in the middle of those stairs, and you've got a photo frame that no studio in the world could ever replicate. 🗺️ Nusa Penida: Way More Than Just Two Spots These photos are just a glimpse of what Nusa Penida has to offer. The island also boasts Broken Beach with its natural bridge looping over an enclosed lagoon, Angel's Billabong with its natural infinity pool facing the open sea, Crystal Bay for snorkeling with manta rays, and Peguyangan Waterfall with its iconic blue stairs cascading down the cliff straight to the ocean. Every corner of this island feels as though nature is showing off its true prowess. Transportation — Renting a motorbike or scooter is the most flexible way to get around the island, but make sure you're comfortable riding on narrow, uphill roads. Alternatively, hire a local driver for the full day. Best time to visit — Head out early in the morning before 10:00 AM to beat the scorching heat and the crowds. Physical demands — All the top spots in Nusa Penida involve stairs and steep inclines, so make sure you're in prime physical condition. Accommodation — Staying overnight on the island is way more worth it than a rushed day trip from Bali. Nusa Penida is a striking reminder of the endless, unexplored beauty Indonesia holds. It’s not an easy kind of beauty—it tests your stamina, your guts, and your patience. But with every step you conquer on the way down, and every cliff you stand upon, a massive reward awaits at the bottom. Views that will never fit into a single photo frame. And memories that will never fit into a single caption.

We spent almost an entire day at Alas Harum Bali, and honestly, it's totally worth the money if you plan ahead. Here’s why: · 🎢 Epic Swings: They call them "Wings" (the famous Bali Swings). They have different levels, from gentle to super extreme high above the jungle. · 🌉 Crazy Bridges: There's a thrilling glass bridge and a wobbly suspension bridge with unreal views. · 📸 Instagram Heaven: A huge park filled with giant art installations, unique statues, and creative backdrops for photos. · ☕ Luwak Coffee: You can try the famous local Luwak coffee right there. · 🍽️ Lunch with a View: The food is genuinely delicious, and you eat it overlooking the lush jungle. · 🏊♂️ The Highlight – Three-Tiered Infinity Pool: The iconic multi-level pool complex overlooking the rice terraces. It's the main reason many people come here! They have bars, jacuzzis, and shallow pools to relax in. It’s so beautiful. ⚠️ My BIGGEST tip: Go EARLY in the morning. There is SO much to see and do, and it gets very crowded later. If you arrive early, you'll beat the queues for the swings and have the pool almost to yourself for a while. You really need a full day here to enjoy it all without rushing. Trust me, plan a whole day and get there at opening time 🙌 #AlasHarum #Bali #Ubud #CretyaUbud #BaliSwings #Tegalalang #RiceTerrace #InfinityPool #TravelTips

#bali is world-famous for its dramatic horizons. Here is how to navigate the island’s west coast for the best views. 📍 Choose Your Base: The West Coast Advantage To see the sun actually touch the ocean, you need to be on the West Side of the island. Each area offers a slightly different vibe for your photos: ⏰ The Golden Rule: Arrive Early Don't wait until the sun starts dipping to find a seat. In Bali, the sky usually begins its transformation between 5:30 PM and 6:30 PM 🍹 Hidden Gem: Times Beach Warung If you want the full Bali experience without the "luxury resort" price tag, Times Beach Warung is a fantastic choice. It offers: · Comfort: Chill out on bean bags under beach umbrellas. · Affordability: Great deals on food and drinks compared to the larger commercial beach clubs. · Vibe: Front-row seats to the waves with a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere. 🏖️ Top "Free" Beaches for Sunset Lovers You don’t need a paid reservation to enjoy the view. These public beaches offer stunning vistas and plenty of space to unwind: · Berawa Beach: Trendy and great for people-watching. · Pererenan Beach: A bit quieter and more rugged. · Tanah Lot: Cultural and breathtaking (note: there is a small entrance fee for the temple area, but the view is world-class). · Batu Bolong Beach: The heart of the Canggu sunset scene. · Petitenget & Seminyak: Wide shores perfect for long walks. · Double Six Beach: Famous for its colorful umbrellas and live music. · Kuta Beach: The most iconic and accessible sunset spot on the island. #sunset #denpasar #kuta #canggu #seminyak #natureexploration

This is the Sokube restaurant and swimming pool at the Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel. Enjoy a delicious dinner at Sokube, the restaurant serving breakfast or dinner, while watching the Bali sunset 🌆. 📌 A replica of the Temple of Lampuyang has been set up against the backdrop of Kuta Beach in front of the hotel garden, and the photos turned out fantastic. Capturing these wonderful photos will create lasting memories. I highly recommend this place if you want to enjoy a hotel staycation during your Bali trip. #Sokube #sokube #McBanjang #mcbanjang #DiscoveryKartikaPlazaHotel #BaliTravel

Hello, this is Captain Mac greeting you. Today, I'll be sharing my experience at 'PHO THIN' Vietnamese Pho, located at Samasta Lifestyle Village right next to the Movenpick Resort Jimbaran in Bali. 📌 Location of PHO THIN If you're looking for a place to stay in the Jimbaran area of southern Bali, Movenpick Resort Jimbaran is one of the most highly recommended hotels. Right next to this resort is Samasta Lifestyle Village! 📍It's a complex mall that brings together diverse dining, shopping, and cultural spaces. It's the perfect spot to enjoy a convenient yet highly satisfying meal during your trip to southern Bali, and a great place to shop for souvenirs before heading back home. I stepped inside the restaurant to try their Vietnamese pho, and snapped a few photos of the interior. I was super thirsty, so I ordered some water!! When you order water in Bali, they serve bottled mineral water like this. 📍Pro-tip for enjoying your pho Below is sliced garlic. Add some garlic to your soup, and it makes it a hundred times tastier. Here is the hot sauce~ I stirred in a spoonful~ and it was pretty good. Talk about fighting fire with fire!! It was crazy hot and I was sweating buckets, but I absolutely demolished a satisfyingly hearty bowl of pho in a flash!

Hello, this is Mekbanjang saying hello. Today, I will be sharing a review of the Movenpick Resort & Jimbaran Bali Hotel, located in the Jimbaran area, from our 4-night, 5-day trip to Southern Bali. ✔️Review of our staycation in Jimbaran Bali with Mom!!! Hello, this is Mekbanjang saying hello. Today, I will be reviewing the lobby of the Movenpick Resort & Spa, located in the Jimbaran area during our 4-night, 5-day trip to Southern Bali. The lobby is truly magnificent~. From the moment I stepped into the Movenpick lobby under the warm sunlight of Jimbaran... Ah~~ this place is really different!! Haha, I got that feeling instantly. In particular, the interior design, which harmonizes Bali's unique traditional details with a modern sensibility!! I was surprised... It is... amazing... incredible! 💦🌊🌊 Movenpick Resort Swimming Pool It was really better than I expected. For the first time in 20 years, my mom took a big splash into the swimming pool.... First of all.... the staff at Movenpick Resort Hotel are really, really kind. Mövenpick Resort Jimbaran Bali is ❤️ love. Thanks to the kind staff... there was no waiting. They even upgraded our room, and check-in was completed quickly. They even escorted our luggage straight to the room. Thank YOU Irena! You are the BEST!!! Excellent Service!! Special Thanks Irena! Thank you, Terima kasih. 📍Welcome Drink It's so wide open... sweat is pouring down~~ Just then~!! The refreshing welcome drink came out!! It's a shot. Let's have a drink. 📍Room 2202, where Manager Mex stayed Mövenpick Resort Pool View Deluxe Room The room we stayed in was a Pool View Deluxe Room. ^^ When you open the window, the large swimming pool in the center of the resort comes into full view at a glance. The view of the pool from the terrace was truly relaxing. The interior of the room was modern with warm wood tones, and was very clean and well-prepared. The bedding was soft and cozy the very definition of softness. The bathroom has a separate shower booth and bathtub. It was more comfortable for my mom, who uses a wheelchair, to shower. Toothbrushes and combs are provided, and even the room key is made of wood. 📍Amenities These are products from Mövenpick's own brand; the shampoo, body cleanser, and other items have a subtle yet luxurious scent and felt great to use. 📍The Highlight of Mövenpick Resort: The Swimming Pool The lagoon-style main pool is gently sloped, making it great for children to play in. At the poolside bar next to the pool, you can enjoy fresh fruit juices, coconut Bintang, and cocktails. 📍 Free Chocolate Happy Hour at 4 PM. The 'Chocolate Happy Hour,' offered daily from 4 PM to 5 PM in the Lobby Lounge, is Movenpick's signature service. You can enjoy a variety of chocolates and desserts for free, providing a truly sweet break. The kids absolutely love it. Mex-banjang and Mom spent happy hour by the pool enjoying Bintang beer and coconut drinks instead. 📍 Movenpick Resort is equipped with various facilities for family travel. I highly recommend it for trips with children, featuring a two-story pirate-themed Mummy Kids Club, a dedicated children's pool, and restaurants offering kids' menus. 📍 Aqua Aerobics When Mex-banjang visited, we did aqua aerobics dancing in the pool to the music of Psy's "Gangnam Style"! The swimming pool is truly fantastic. Mom, dad, and kids can have a blast at the pool from morning until late afternoon. You can even rent tubes for children and floating sunbeds for adults. The pool at Movenpick Jimbaran is just amazing. ✔️McBanjang’s Overall Review If I plan my next trip to Bali, I will definitely choose Movenpick. I will visit again in May 2026 and update this post. Thank you ❤️ #BaliTravel #BaliHotel #BaliLuxuryHotel #BaliHotelRecommendation #MovenpickResortBali #MovenpickHotel #MovenpickResortJimbaranBali #MovenpickResortJimbaran #McBanjang #mcbanjang

The food in Bali is a treat of its own 🍽️🌴 It's delicious almost everywhere in Bali: in hotels, cafes, and even small warungs. And what's especially nice is that everything is not only tasty but also highly aesthetic ✨ The presentation, details, and atmosphere are top-notch. It's easy to find food for every taste here: from local cuisine to European breakfasts, bowls, and desserts 🥑🥐 We managed to check out a lot of cool places: · Soda Cafe · Warung Gauri · Made's Bakery · La Kantina · Nourish Cafe · You & Mee · Livingstone Holyground · Iraga Coffee And that's just a fraction of them—there really are so many great spots there 🤍 The coffee deserves a special mention ☕️ It's grown right on the island, so it's incredibly aromatic and rich. And one more nice bonus: the prices. They remain quite affordable, especially when you consider the quality and the atmosphere 💫

Bali sunsets hit different — rainbow skies almost every day 🌈🌅 Ubud is my favorite place on the island, but honestly, you don’t have to go anywhere specific to witness magic. Every single evening, Bali paints the sky in colors you wouldn’t believe — pink, purple, orange, red, gold — like a full rainbow melting into the ocean. What I love most are the sunsets over the rice terraces. The contrast between the deep green paddies and the fiery sky is something I’ve never seen anywhere else. But the same spectacle happens on the west coast beaches too. Every day, just before 6 PM, crowds gather along the shore — not talking, not on phones — just watching. It’s a daily ritual that never gets old. Tourists and locals, all united by the same awe. Some evenings are so intense that people actually applaud when the sun finally dips below the horizon. If there’s one thing Bali taught me: never skip a sunset. You never know which one will take your breath away. What’s the most beautiful sunset you’ve ever seen? 🌇 #Bali #Ubud #Sunset #RainbowSky #RiceTerrace #TravelIndonesia #SunsetLover #BaliVibes #travel2026

Puri Langon Ubud Temple is one of those rare spots in Ubud where you can soak up the authentic Balinese vibe without the tourist hordes. We visited it ourselves, and it’s honestly one of the most underrated gems in Ubud. Admission is free, which is a nice perk, but the best part is that it's practically empty. After dealing with the crowds at popular temples like Pura Taman Saraswati or Goa Gajah, this place feels like a total breath of fresh air. The temple grounds are surrounded by lush greenery. It’s incredibly peaceful, with nothing but the sounds of nature in the background. The architecture features classic Balinese design, complete with intricate carvings and stunning courtyards. You won't find any pushy vendors or long lines here—just a pure sense of solitude and authenticity. It’s so relaxing to just wander around, take in all the little details, and enjoy the peace and quiet that’s so hard to find in downtown Ubud. This place gives you that amazing feeling of having stumbled upon a true hidden gem. If you had to pick just one spot in Ubud that perfectly blends a great vibe, fascinating culture, and zero crowds, Puri Langon Ubud is definitely top-tier. Plus, the photo ops here are absolutely endless!!!

🇮🇩 [Bali] Water Palace (Tirta Gangga) I highly recommend grabbing some fish food (bread 🍞) from a nearby shop before heading inside! ^ ^ You'll get to see so many koi fish! (^^) "Tirta Gangga" literally translates to "Water from the Ganges," named after the sacred Ganges River in India. ^ ^ Nestled at the foot of Mount Agung in eastern Bali, this water palace was originally built by King Anak Agung Anglurah Ketut as his weekend retreat. [Location] Abang Village, Karangasem [Hours] 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

🇮🇩 [Bali] A Spiritual Power Spot! Lempuyang Temple! This temple has long been said to "possess the power of purification," and it is believed that the gods will cleanse visitors of any negative energy attached to them. It is also famous for the highly photogenic spot shown in the first photo (^^) * The reflection isn't actually a water surface; a dedicated photographer takes the picture using a mirror.. After arriving at the parking lot, you take a shuttle bus up the mountain. We got there around 5:30 AM and received a number at a reception-like desk. This number dictates your turn to take the picture shown in the first photo. [Admission Fee] Adults: 70,000 Rp, Children: 35,000 Rp Sarongs were available to rent for free ^ ^

Hello, this is Mexbanjang saying hello. Today, I’m going to share a vivid review of the breakfast at the Movenpick Resort Jimbaran in Bali!!👏👏😁 **Breakfast Main Restaurant at Movenpick Resort Bali** 📍 AnArAsA Operating Hours Breakfast is buffet style 6:30 AM - 11:30 AM 📍 Bakery & Pastries A wide variety of breads and pastries are available, including croissants, donuts, and brioche baked fresh at the Movenpick Resort Bali hotel. Freshly baked, cool bread 🍞 📍 Fresh Fruit A truly diverse range of fruits was served very freshly, including papaya, dragon fruit, banana, pineapple, watermelon, melon, grapes, and passion fruit. 📍 Interior of AnArAsA Restaurant The interior design is truly magnificent. With high ceilings and a spacious layout that creates a sense of openness, the sophisticated interior harmonizes Balinese tradition with modern sensibilities. I think both adults and children will love it. Outdoor terrace seating is also available, allowing you to enjoy a variety of atmospheres. Additionally, there is an egg station near the terrace where they make fried eggs 🍳 right in front of you. 📍 Sambal We have over 10 types of sambal prepared, each made with different ingredients and spices and featuring a variety of spicy 🌶 sauces. You can choose according to your preference. 📍 Various Juice Bars! You can select your preferred style of fruit and vegetables to have freshly squeezed juice made on the spot. It is very rich in dietary fiber, so my mom drank 2 to 3 glasses every single day in Bali. 📍 Satay and Sambal Corner Sambal, the seasoning sauce typically served with satay or other meat dishes, is a spicy chili 🌶 sauce. 📍 Introduction to Various Sambal Sauces Sambal Kecap: A sweet and salty soy sauce-based sauce Sambal Terasi: A spicy sauce made with shrimp paste (Terasi) Sambal Matah: A fresh sauce unique to Bali, made by mixing raw onions, chili peppers, lime leaves, and lemongrass Sambal Tomat: A mild and smooth tomato-based sauce Sambal Bajak: A rich and deep flavor made with chili paste stir-fried in oil 📍 Instant Noodle Soup Station Hotel guests can enjoy customized noodle dishes by selecting various ingredients and broths to suit their preferences. At the DIY Noodle Station, you can choose your desired noodle type, such as al dente noodles similar to ramen. 📍 Traditional Indonesian Noodle Dishes Mie Goreng: Stir-fried noodles cooked with various ingredients and a sweet and spicy sauce. Nasi Goreng - Fried rice. Rice stir-fried with spices, topped with eggs, vegetables, and meat. I experienced a delicious, delightful, and refreshing breakfast like this at Anarasa Main Restaurant, Movenpick Resort Bali. 📍Overall Review I really enjoyed the meal and highly recommend it to everyone! For reference, I booked the Movenpick Resort Jimbaran Hotel (breakfast included) through Trip.com Yap. Thank you 👍 #MoverpickResort #MoverpickResortJimbaran #MoverpickResortBali #BaliMoverpickResortBreakfast #MoverpickResortJimbaranBali #BaliTravel #BaliHotelBreakfast #McBanjang #mcbanjang

Discovery Kartika Plaza Hotel Breakfast Hello, this is Mexbanjang saying hi! Today is the story of breakfast on the first day of my Bali trip! This is a real, genuine review paid for with my own money! 100,000 won per night including breakfast – the best value for money! The buffet food was diverse, and the fresh fruit breakfast was particularly good. ☕️ The coffee was also the best among all the Bali hotels I stayed at. Since I came to Bali, Indonesia 🇮🇩, Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng are a must! The taste wasn't bad either.😋 📍Started with bacon 🥓 The sausage, ham, and bacon were decent. Vietnamese 🇻🇳 You absolutely must eat pho twice! lol It's very tasty, good good good 👏 I added plenty of cilantro, and devoured a bowl of Vietnamese pho! 📍A plate of vegetables, fruit, and boiled eggs that Mom brought! My mom said... out of the four hotels we stayed at in Bali, the fruit at the Discovery Hotel was the sweetest and tastiest. My mom ate a whole plate all by herself, haha! She finished it all.😁 📍Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng They are available at all hotels. Mie Goreng "Mie" means noodles, and "Goreng" means to stir-fry or deep-fry. In other words, it means stir-fried noodles. It was very delicious😋. Nasi Goreng "Nasi" means rice, and "Goreng" means to fry or deep-fry. In other words, it means fried rice. We really enjoyed it. 📍Breakfast Bread 🍞! The bread here was surprisingly good! A variety of breads at the bakery corner! The coffee ☕️ that Mex-banjang liked the most. Wow! The taste and aroma were truly the best. I was going to grab another cup to take back to the room, but they said it was only available in the breakfast restaurant. Breakfast is available at a table in front of the outdoor pool, while enjoying the sound of cool waves 🌊🌊, in a room with powerful air conditioning and overlooking Kuta Beach. I enjoyed the meal very much. I highly recommend it. 😁 #BaliTravel #BaliHotelBreakfast #DiscoveryKartikaPlazaHotel #DiscoveryKartikaPlazaHotelBreakfast #McBanjang #mcbanjang #BaliKutaHotelBreakfast
