WW: Enjoying Hilton Resort Nusa Dua Bali

Hi everyone.

Happy to welcome you here and welcome you back to Bali.

Never get tired or bored with this amazing land of Bali. 

This time, I stayed in Hilton Resort Nusa Dua Bali. 

As you can imagine, Hilton Resort is part of the international chain hotel. I have been staying in many of this group's property and so far I have been enjoying them.

Some of the photos I took are from the area around the hotel, the room, and the beach. I will certainly be back with the complete review of this place. 

As you can see, the room is spacious, beautiful and comfortable indeed. I certainly have no complaints!

I am indeed in my happy place here.

The white sandy beach is super lovely and sunrise is amazing.

WW: Bali from Above and Beyond

Bali from Above

I have recently stumbled upon old photos from my phone and just realized I have almost 5000 photos taken in and around Bali!

The view you enjoyed from your airplane as you leave this beautiful island

Well, coming back and forth to this breathtaking island of the Gods and Goddesses does not stop me from taking pictures here and there even though I might visit the same spot in Bali. No wonder I have so many pictures of them and that's only in one of my phones LOL. Not to mention other footages I took with my DSLR or GoPro and others. 

perfect blend of blue, green and teal

These one I took back in 2018, one of the business trips I had in Bali. I remembered staying in Kuta area for the meetings and strolling around in this never-sleep area (obviously before the pandemic) was joyous fun. 

Feels like plunging myself to the turquoise water

My recent trip to Bali also gave me the opportunity to capture more beauty Bali can endlessly offer. Lucky me, right! Here are some of the random photos I took while in Bali.

Tell me what you think! 

Which part of Bali you enjoy most? 

The beach, the sky, the rice field, the food, the culture, the people, or all of them?

WW: Desa Panglipuran Bali - Panglipuran Traditional Village Bali

Still from Bali, the magnificent land of the Gods and Goddesses.

This time I will briefly take you to Desa Panglipuran Bali - Panglipuran Traditional Village Bali, before I tell you all the details of my visit in the next post. Visiting Bali for god-knows-how-many-time, I try to seize the opportunity to explore all unique places Bali offers.

Panglipuran village  is located in Bangli Regency, not too far from Denpasar, Bali or around 45 km. It took us around slightly more than 1 hour due to traffic. Well, it's not that bad as you are visiting a beautiful place indeed.

Here you will experience first hand the live of the Balinese people in their natural habit and environment. You will see their beautiful, religious way of living as is, not in the form of acting whatsoever.

You will enjoy incredible Temple, traditional houses, kitchen as well as food & beverages, wonderful trekking, bamboo forest, ceremonial and sacred dances and more. The entrance ticket is only Rp 25.000,- or less than USD 2 for locals. Love it!

As you step in to this beautiful traditional village, you will be engulfed by its rich tradition and religious cultures Balinese is famous for. The colorful sesajen, the sound of the bamboo wind chimes, the kids running around freely.. Heaven! And this place is utterly clean!

Here are some photos I took in the area. Hope you like it!

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday with all those lovely links 

Nook Restaurant, Bali - Wonderful Eateries in the Middle of the Paddy Fields

Do you look for wonderful ambience to enjoy around your meal?

Well, I do! 

Whenever I get a chance to come to one particular area, I would definitely try to find unique, wonderful restaurant to enjoy. 

On my last trip to Bali, I managed to eat in Nook, one cozy restaurant in Kerobokan, Bali. Although I was traveling during Ramadhan, we managed to stop by at lovely restaurants in the area, including this one. 

Nook is a great place to chill, relax, and taste the food while enjoying the soothing green Paddy fields in Bali! The ambience and the interior design are so homey and inviting as well.

Don't you just love it!

We went here during Ramadan and we came by to have Ifthar with friends. They do have this lovely ambience because the restaurant is located in the middle of the rice field. So as you enjoy the food and drinks, you will be serenaded by breeze, wind chymes, and singing birds. How do you like that? Super peaceful indeed.

The paddy fields around the resto

You can definitely order yummy, delicious food here. Find yourself a melange of Western food as well Indonesian and Balinese food to your liking. Here you can have burgers, steak, and pasta as well as sandwiches. They also serve Indonesian food. As for drinks, there are a lot of choice you us to explore. Again, including Indonesian beverages like teh sereh and jahe merah or red ginger.

I tried the Nasi Campur Special, the traditional Balinese plate with complete mini main course starting from rendang, chicken, urap or fresh veggies, sambal matah, tempe and tofu, corn fritters and sate lilit or minced fish satay a la Bali. Super good! I have my infused water and lime ginger hot tea. All is delicious. My friends tried Sirloin steak, spaghetti, and ayam geprek.

Cozy spot we have here...

The service is fast, waiters are friendly. They are very friendly indeed and for sure they can give you all the recommendations for the best food and beverages you like.

I really love the decorations, comfy seats and sofas as well as the ambience here. Let's take a look at photos I took around this cozy place.

The parking lot is not that big but there are staff who can help you finding the spot nearby as well. So parking is manageable. This place is disability friendly as well and again the staff will be more than happy to help. Happy to recommend this place for sure!

So, will you come here when you are around?

I sincerely hope so! And see you on the next adventure!

WW: Sunrise at Tanjung Benoa - Conrad Bali

Sunrise at Tanjung Benoa - Conrad Bali

 Sunrise.

Amazing phenomenon that is always successfully taking my breath away. 

No matter  where it happens, in different parts of the world, it will always such a solemn moment for me.

Morning with Sunrise at Tanjung Benoa - Conrad Bali

Recently I visited Bali again and as I stayed in one of my favorite hotels here, Conrad Bali, I once again witnessed the breathtaking view of sunrise here. That happened to be the Earth Day as well. I was so blessed indeed.

Tanjung Benoa area has been famous for its sunrise. It has become the center of water sport as well. As my room is facing the beach side of the hotel, I can hear the happy scream from those enjoying parasailing and jet skies near here. I even noticed some dive center around the hotel, although unfortunately I haven't got a chance to take a dive trip myself. Not during my working visit. Nevertheless, I would be happy to go back for that.

love the Sunrise at Tanjung Benoa - Conrad Bali

Well, hope you enjoy this sunrise as well.

Stay safe, happy and healthy wherever you are. Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the link party.

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Welcome (back) to Bali 

I am welcoming myself to Bali.  Again! 

 

Ramadhan is entering the second week and how grateful I am to be given the strength and perseverance to continue observing this incredible holy month together with my family, My mom and niece are also living with me in the last 12 months and we do fasting together. For me it's a luxury to have my mom with me while we are still in Indonesia. I guess I will stay at home until the end of the year. That will probably the best choice for now during the pandemic and my hubby and I would definitely spend more time with our parents whenever we can. The issue with assignment abroad is sometimes being separated from our loved ones indeed, so when we are still in Indonesia, we tend to spend more times with our parents and big families. 

Well, this pandemic doesn't make things easier for sure so we have to ensure the health protocol is well observed before we can meet our parents. 

Anyway, speaking of Bali, this time I had back - to back meetings in Uluwatu and in Tanjung Benoa, South Kuta. The meetings were followed by short visit to villages listed as resilient village against disasters as well as the one with law and human rights services in their local system. It is very interesting to meet those officials and see how their villages and the communities respond to the necessary sets of skills, knowledge and good practices on dealing with disasters as well as issues related to the promotion and protection of human rights. I do learn a lot from them. So many beautiful local wisdom that can definitely be showcased here. 

In addition, it is always be great to go back to Bali. For whatever reason!

Happy me in Bali

And now, it's time for Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends. Join us!
