Bali’s Most Instagrammable Villa – Cloud Nine Estate

Cloud Nine Estate: Jalan Rsi Markandya 2. Banjar Sebali. Desa Keliki. Date of Visit: February 2017 Guys, this is definitely NOT a sponsored post in any way, but I just had to share this gorgeous villa with everyone (though a little reluctantly, because I’m definitely looking forward to going back there, and I don’t want them to be fully booked or have their prices increase haha). Since we travelled there in February for a pre-wedding photoshoot, we were looking for somewhere a little more luxurious (but still affordable) to stay at, so as to complete the whole happy experience. My good friend recommended Cloud Nine Estate long ago, but it was slightly out of budget so I never got around to treating myself. Until this trip. Let me tell you, it was so worth it. It’s literally a little piece of heaven in a quiet corner of Ubud! Every corner was…

Bali Sights Part 2 – Hidden Gems You Have To Visit!

Date of Travel: November 2016 It’s been awhile since Part 1, which I wrote about the touristy sights in Bali (Ubud) which I was definitely not impressed with – too much crowd, too high expectations. So I’ve finally gotten around to writing about Part 2 (amidst my crazy renovation planning and ROM shebangs) – the two hidden gems YOU HAVE TO VISIT! Melasti Cliff (Ungasan Cliff) Green Bowl Beach #1. Melasti Cliff / Ungasan Cliff After getting super disappointed the day before with all the touristy touch-and-go sights, we spent the night doing some thorough research and digging before we found this spot – and everything seemed too good to be true! I mean, hidden cliff…gorgeous blue waters… and no one to disrupt your me-time? That’s just too amazing! Getting There. This was the only hard part as it was not well-known amongst the drivers. We had to use our google map…

Bali Sights Part 1 – Unimpressive Tourist Attractions but a Crazy Good Spa Find!

Date of travel: November 2016 Recommended Driver: Mano (+62 856 3778 685) (let him know you got the contact from Jeremy!) Bali has always been reverently known as the Island of the Gods, aptly so, as almost every corner finds you in a breath-taking landscape you never knew could exist. Prior to this trip, I have hardly ever been to Bali, except for a few times MANY years ago, staying at Hard Rock Hotel (what a shame to have missed out on the gorgeous villas available everywhere) and travelling no further than the beach down the road. This trip has been quite an eye-opener and I am certain there will be many more trips soon to explore more parts of Bali! Check out the video here! (Bump the quality up to HD!) Although we stayed in a villa 30minutes from Ubud, it took us one day to realize that touristy…
