Indonesia Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Ubud Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Captivating Elegance in the Midst of Ubud's Bustle ๐ซ๐๏ธ
Ubud's magnetic allure finds its embodiment in a dress that possesses the magical ability to transform a seemingly tranquil temple into a captivating tableau for photography. Behind the modest facade, an unexpected treasure awaitsโa hidden art gallery nestled within the bustling heart of the main road. This dress, a celebration of beauty in all its forms, becomes a testament to embracing the concept of 'extra.' Boldly embracing the potential to become a social media trend, this captivating attire is simply too resplendent to be content with ordinariness. โจ๐ธ
Monkeying Around in Ubud's Enchanting Forest ๐๐ด
Peer into my eyes, and you'll unmistakably sense the genuine mix of apprehension and curiosity as I form an unlikely bond with a mischievous monkey. Given my less-than-stellar history with monkeys, this encounter is both surprising and heartwarming. Curiously, this tiny primate seeks a dinner date, transcending the rulebook for monkey behavior. With fearless charm, he perches upon my shoulder to enjoy a sweet potato feast, defying cautionary tales and reaffirming the power of curiosity and connection. ๐๐
As Tea, Tea House
#balitrip
Still around Ubud, this time a bit down to the Peliatan area. There is an artisan tea shop that has just opened in the Sukma Kesuma area. Not bad, after parking in the central area and walking all the way here to have beautiful tea in a place where every corner has an aesthetic that is no less beautiful - with a dominant earthy color that gives a warm & relaxing feel. While unwinding & welcoming September cheerfully in the style of Vina Panduwinata, even though her face is starting to turn gray, a sign of the changing seasons. The choice of tea is varied, not only a blend of tea leaves but also flowers combined with various herbs, each type of which is served in beautiful tea pots and cups. There are several small snacks, sweet and savory, which you can choose as afternoon tea accompaniments to relax your day and your heart.

Penida Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
No exaggeration! This little island truly is the ceiling of island paradises
Some places, no matter how many times you see them online, it's just not the same as seeing them in person. I never dared to imagine that the sea could be the color of jade, with the rolling waves like the pulse of the Earth.
.
๐๏ธ This is Nusa Penida
There are two piers in Bali from which you can take a boat to get here, namely sanur and padang bai. The former has fast boats, which only carry passengers, and it takes about 50 minutes to arrive; the latter has slow boats, which can transport motorcycles and small cars, and it takes about 2 hours to arrive. This time, for convenience, we took the ferry from padang bai, and we could even bring the car we rented, which was so convenient.
.
Nusa Penida is divided into the east line and the west line, which can be visited on two separate days. The east line is more niche, while the west line is more classic:
East line: Atuh Beach โ Diamond Beach โ Tree House
West line: Broken Beach โ Angel's Billabong โ Crystal Bay โ Kelingking Beach
.
Among them, I think the most beautiful and worthwhile spots are Kelingking Beach and Diamond Beach. If you have to choose only one route, I would recommend the west line, which features the iconic Kelingking Beach of Nusa Penida. It's truly beautiful, a location for Apple wallpapers, and only requires a parking fee without an entrance ticket, making it extremely cost-effective.
Navigating Nusa Penida's Beauty: Finding Authentic Moments ๐๏ธ๐ธ
The iconic Diamond Beach at Nusa Penida, Bali, showcases the exquisite art of embracing authenticity, resonating beyond the frames of picturesque shots. In this idyllic destination, patience and resilience are nurturedโessential virtues in the realm of Instagrammable spots. The resurgence of tourism is evidenced by the throngs of visitors, signifying a rebound after a period of challenges. With a trusted companion by my side, our joint venture into this scenic paradise unveils a beauty that transcends the limits of the camera lens, leaving us with cherished memories. ๐๐ท
Beautiful homestay in Bali
Beautiful homestay in Bali๐๏ธ It is said that the infinity pool is more compatible with the sea!|||In the secret holiday spot in Bali, and also the location for Apple computer's desktop wallpaper: Penida Island, here not only has the luxury of Victorian style, but also overlooks the Indian Ocean and the magnificent Agung Mountain!
๐ Homestay name: Sea front Villa Victoria 5 bedroom

๐ Rating: โ

โฑ๏ธHomestay highlights:
- The design integrates the luxury of Bali and modernity, each of the 5 bedrooms has an independent bathroom, which can accommodate up to 12 people
- Two swimming pools, a 30-meter white infinity pool and a round jacuzzi, perfect for taking pictures!๐ธโจ
- Lie by the pool at night, look up at the stars, and feel extremely romantic
- There are also two cute cats in the villa!๐ฑ๐
๐Stay experience:
- As soon as you enter the villa, you will be amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of you! Sitting on the lawn, overlooking the boundless sea view, it feels like the whole world has quieted down
- The landlord is super enthusiastic, and even organized yoga classes. The villa is fully equipped. If you want to barbecue or cook by yourself, they also provide shopping services, which is so considerate!๐๐ณThe breakfast provided is also very milky!
- The most important thing is that each room has a safe, the staff will clean the pool every day, and you can also enjoy the services of a massage therapist!๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
๐ดSurroundings and transportation of the homestay:
โช๏ธ Beach: ๐ถ2 minutes, city: ๐5 minutes
โช๏ธ Located on the east coast of Penida Island, it is only a 5-minute drive from the main port Sampalan
โช๏ธ If you want to book a taxi or motorcycle, you can contact the villa staff to help book it~
๐ฐCost performance: about 5000+RMB/night, but the experience is absolutely
Like a fairy, one day it will bring you to this sea
The most memorable part of the trip to Indonesia is Penida Island, each bay has its own charm, the beauty here can make the fairy fall off the cliff.
Penida Island is divided into east and west lines, it is recommended to take two days, one day will really have a lot of regrets!! (Don't ask, ask is at the beginning of the one-day tour later the more I think about it, the more angry I changed the sign and played for two days) Penida Island
๐Island tour arrangement:
Penida Island East and West lines, West line: Angel Bath, Broken Beach, Fairy Cliff, East line: Diamond Beach, Tree House (Whether to go to the Tree House depends on whether you want to check in, there is really no need to go besides this)
๐Schedule:
D1 Book the speedboat๐ค to the island in advance online, you can start the west line after checking in at noon. (The glass waves under the fairy cliff are very beautiful, but you need to climb down, so it depends on your physical strength) Of course, the sunset at the fairy cliff is really beautiful.
D2 If you plan to return the next day, go directly to the east line in the morning (It's a bit difficult to get to the bottom of Diamond Beach, there will be a lot of people sunbathing below), you can go back after playing.
๐A small tip: Recommend to make an appointment for snorkeling in the morning of the second day, Penida Island has a manta snorkeling point with a lot of manta!! This way you can go to the east line in the afternoon, and return the next morning.
There is one more thing to note: The roads on the island are very bad! There will be sand on every downhill. If you rent a motorcycle, be careful! I just braked and didn't go snorkeling in the end It will really be a regret for a long time.
Finally, unlike in China, there are not many safety measures in Indonesia, safety must be the first priority when you go out to play.

Batam Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
๐ฎ๐ฉ Newly opened Alio Beach Cafe & Bar at Batam
#beachlife
Alio Beach Cafe & Bar
๐Bengkong Laut, Batam City, Riau Islands, Indonesia
Nestled along the picturesque coastline of Batam, Alio Beach Cafe & Bar offers a sprawling haven where the charm of live music and the tranquil sea breeze come together to create a relaxing ambiance.
โญ๏ธAlio Beach Cafe & Bar stands out with its large, inviting space that accommodates guests who wish to enjoy the beauty of the sea right from their seats.

โญ๏ธAt Alio Beach Cafe & Bar, the experience of dining next to the sea is both chill and picturesque. I did not order food there as I came after lunch. Instead I had a cup of coffee and just chill by the sea. โ๏ธ

very nice place to ootd and chill
I found this place were very famous in Batam , and going here is very nice , the view of De sand were same as Santorini
bATEam
#weekendgetaways The A in Batam stands for ate and left no crumbs and awesome. Batam is such a short boat ride from Singapore, a perfect gate away to de stress after a long week of work. Itโs perfect for a 2-3 days night trip.
Food and activities are cheap in Batam too for you budget lovers. Itโs so wallet friendly that it does not feel like an expensive holiday at all.
At the Grand Batam Mall, it feels like ION in Singapore? Living up to its name, itโs grand and has a lot of stuff to do in the mall.
You can also do thrift shopping in Batam too as itโs extremely cheap. Try out interesting activities you wonโt normally do in Singapore too, like paintball, ATV and riding a jet pack.#batam
Cafe-hopping in Batam
Just a few hoursโ ride away from Singapore, you can easily get to the island of Batam for a short weekend getaway! With the good exchange rates there, cafe-hopping becomes a lot more affordable and enjoyable.
One of the cafes that made an impression was this one located near Grand Batam mall. It was an artisan shop that made their own flavoured tarts by hand. We tried a few of their flavours as we couldnโt decide which to get! I personally would recommend the signature and Hojicha flavours, which tasted lighter.
Another cafe we visited was better known for their unique coffee and cakes. I really liked the chocolate fudge cake but you might want to skip on the lemonade as it was overly sweet.
My overall rating of the experience: 5 out of 5 stars โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ
