So good I had to say it thrice. Living in Singapore, Bali is probably one of our favourite spots to jet off for a relaxing weekend or a weeklong yoga retreat. Be it crazy parties, great food, a tryst with nature or a detox holiday. There is no place in the world better than Bali. We as a ritual go every 3 months to Bali and below are some of the hot spots we would love for everyone to explore.
Even better, it suits pockets of all sizes. Right from relaxing at the 4 seasons Sayan in Ubud to living in a small homestay in Canggu, Bali has a little something for everyone. As a local guide, one thing I love doing is creating curated lists of hot spots wherever I travel. I have gotten some of the best suggestions from other local guides with similar interests and I feel this list is for those who enjoy amazing meals, craft cocktails and love to party. A detailed list of spots is here: https://goo.gl/maps/YCGEQDteCSj7QkVj9
My personal favourite areas to stay are Semniyak for Food, drinks, and partying. Ubud to relax, explore nature and just have an amazing detox. Nusa Dua, if you’re looking for family holidays as properties are massive. Canggu if you like the hipster vibe. Uluwatu if you want to be blown away by what cliffstyle life is and Jimbaran if you want to see the spiritual side of Bali. The local guides program actually is very close to my heart as Im an ex Googler who used to manage operations for maps team in India for this specific initiative. Passion for crowdsourcing and mapping began being a googler and has now come to a stage where I actively contribute across the world.
