Escape to Bali



I love to travel and Bali has always been my favorite dream destination. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to spend  5 glorious days in Bali  with my dubai-based  friend Glauce who like me  also loves to travel.




Uluwatu temple -  A must visit if you are in Bali, the view here  is simply  amazing.







Stunning view  of the Indian Ocean.





The purple sarong matched my outfit neatly.




The famous  Kecak Dance performance at Uluwatu temple.


After the dance,  our tour guide  brought us to one of the restaurant at Jimbaran Bay for seafood dinner.  Nice ambience, the food was delicious, cooked fresh with the best flavors however quite expensive ! 




No trip to Bali is complete without visiting any one of the hundreds, if not thousands of temples on this island.








Most Balinese  still wear traditional clothes and are very spiritual.



 Souvenir items on display just  outside the temple.




Spectacular view of Mount Batur  and Lake Batur . At 1500m above sea level, the climate here is quite cool reminds me of Tagaytay in Philippines.







                     An impressive sight to behold, lush rice terraced landscape of Tegallalang.








One of the highlights of our trip, a visit to Tanah Lot.  Located on top of a rock just like Uluwatu temple, Tanah Lot is another amazing temple to visitYou need to get here in time for the sunset, which is absolutely breathtaking. A truly magical place :-)







About 5 minute walk from our hotel is Kuta Beach. It's the beach that  most tourists in Bali go. Great surf waves but not so good for swimming.

We  travelled down to Rock Bar  located inside Ayana Resort and Spa to witness one of Bali's most            glamorous sunset.





One of the best place to drink , relax , and enjoying the view of sunset in Bali. Definitely my favorite experience in Bali.




     Truly unique experience and the perfect place to watch the sun go down.



             
          Breath taking view, nice cocktails n delicious food. One should never miss going here if you visit Bali

         The grand entrance of Ubod Royal Palace. Every night traditional Balinese dances are held here.
                                     


We  decided to stay at the Mansion Resort Hotel and Spa for our last night in Bali.  Located in Ubud, its a  mansion owned by a rich businessman that has been converted to a hotel, it is very different from the usual resorts.






Spread out around three gorgeous swimming pools , the resort almost feels empty.
