BALINESEBLISS

Yes there’s more to Indonesia than Bali, but we felt it would be almost sacrilegious not to pop in on our way home. Our first stop is the island’s latest hippie hotspot Canggu where we squeeze in yoga, surfing, massages, delicious health food at cafes including Bungalow and Betelnut, and boutique shopping in nearby Seminyak. When we’ve had enough of the buzz we drive 90 minutes to Uluwatu, one of the best surf breaks in Bali, for a swim and sunset margaritas at clifftop bar Single Fin. The next day is our last in Indonesia and we spend it at the neighbouring cliffside beach town of Bingin, enjoying what this Indonesian paradise does best. The balmy breeze, the bath-warm ocean, the sumptuous treatments at Esthetic Day Spa. The day ends at Kelly’s Warung with a bonfire and live music by the sea, where we clink our Bintangs to how lucky we are that this magical Southeast Asian jewel is right on our doorstep.
