Welcome to Bali, friends! I can’t wait to take you on a tour of the island – featuring my favorite spots, from stunning beaches to hidden gems, and share my dreamy villa stay. Come along as I explore Bali’s wonders and show you how to do it in style!

Hidden Gems

Ready to dive into the enchanting world of Tirta Empul Temple? Nestled near Tampaksiring, this sacred site dates back to 962 A.D. It is renowned for its holy water spring, which is believed to have healing powers. I got to explore the stunning architecture, but some people even get to participate in the cleansing ritual in the purification pools! The Temples details were so intricate that it had me imaging when it was originally being built. If you find yourself in Bali, Tirta Empul Temple is a must-see to soak in the serene vibes of this lush, picturesque spot. I hope to go back and do the baths next time. If you are a lady they do make you tie up your hair if it is long. Also if it is that “time of the month” the baths are not allowed. Don’t forget to don a sarong and sash to show respect while you experience the magic and spirituality of this incredible Balinese temple!

Tegenungan Waterfall

Get ready to chase waterfalls in Bali at the stunning Tegenungan Waterfall! Hidden in lush greenery near Ubud, this natural wonder cascades into a serene pool, while Tegenungan Waterfall was absolutely stunning, I found the water a bit murky and decided not to take a dip. Still, the scenery was so enchanting that I couldn’t resist snapping some adorable pictures! If you plan to visit, you might want to check the water conditions beforehand. Don’t forget your chic swimsuit for those Insta-worthy shots amidst the lush greenery!

Koral Restaurant

Perched on a cliffside in Jimbaran, Bali, Koral Restaurant offers a unique dining experience where you can enjoy your meal surrounded by the vibrant underwater world of the Indian Ocean. If you have always wanted to be like Ariel and eat with the fish, Koral will make your dreams come true! Other than the views, the food was amazing- it is a set menu with few options to set up the courses you want. With that being said it is quite pricey, but the experience was worth it. My brother, Merrett, and I got to dine alongside mesmerizing marine life, experiencing breathtaking marine life and creating unforgettable memories!

Gooseberry

At Gooseberry, breakfast and lunch are where the magic happens! Picture waking up to freshly baked pastries, tropical fruit bowls, and the smoothest coffee in town. I decided to get the coconut water with fluffy pancakes, and it was so good I think about it everyday now that I am back in the states. It is about a 5-10 minute gojek ride from Bingin beach. It’s the perfect start to any adventure-packed day.

Bingin Beach

Hang loose at Bingin Beach! It’s a surfer’s paradise with golden sands and killer waves. Whether you’re catching the surf or chilling with friends, Bingin’s got that laid-back Bali vibe. I would recommend a gokel ride or your own moped due to no parking. This is a more touristy beach meaning it does get crowded, but it just depends on what time of day you go. With places like Morabito Art Cliff and Sun & Surf Stay, Bingin Beach is a paradise I never wanted to leave!

Morabito Art Cliff

Overlooking Bingin Beach, Morabito Art Cliff serves up Mediterranean-inspired dishes with a view that’ll blow your mind. The sunset here is insanely beautiful, I really just could not stop admiring the beauty. There are a lot of stairs down to the restaurant so casual or dressing up is up to you. The restaurant had Italian, Pizza, Steak, and Seafood. Lets just say the Creamy Lemon Linguini was my favorite dish. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy delicious food and soak in unbelievable ocean views all at once!

Sun & Surf Stay

Sun & Surf Stay in Bali is the go-to place where beach bliss meets delicious eats! This is a perfect place to grab a bite to eat if you’re having a beach day at Bingin. I loved that I could wear my bikini in from the beach to get my Fried Rice. With its laid-back atmosphere and stunning beachfront views, it’s perfect for kicking back and enjoying great food while soaking in those Bali sunsets with friends!

Gojek

In Bali, Gojek is your go-to for hassle-free transportation, much like Uber back home. It’s the perfect choice if you’re exploring the island and prefer not to rent a vehicle, offering convenient rides at your fingertips.

Night Life

Savaya in Bali is hands down one of the best nightclubs on the island, and I got to experience it in full swing with none other than ASAP Ferg performing live! As you can see in the video I was backstage which was an amazing opportunity and it was just a good vibe overall. Make sure you dress up in your favorite going out outfit!

The Villa

The villa I stayed at in Bali was seriously gorgeous, with breathtaking views and all the luxe comforts you could ask for. I never wanted to leave!
