10 Stunningly Beautiful Places To Visit On Nusa Penida

August 17, 2022 No Comments

There can be little argument that Bali offers visitors some of the most stunningly beautiful natural sites of any holiday destination in the world, and there are some locations in particular that take that beauty to another level. One of those is Nusa Penida which is a small island that is located to the southeast of Bali and is separated from it by the Badung Strait.

Whilst it is certainly possible for you to make Nusa Penida the place you stay for your entire holiday given that it has several excellent hotels, many holidaymakers instead choose to take one of the many shuttle boats that go between the island and Bali, where their accommodation is located. Whichever way you choose, one thing is guaranteed and that is that Nusa Pineda has plenty of awesomely beautiful locations to visit across its 81 square miles. Here are ten of them.

#1 – Peguyanan Waterfall

No trip to Bali is complete without a visit to at least one waterfall, so why not make it Peguyanan Waterfall on Nusa Penida? The colourful blue steps take you down to it, and when there, you can experience stunning cliff views. You can also visit an ancient temple nearby.

7 Incredible Activities To Try During A Holiday To Bali

June 15, 2021 No Comments

One of the saddest things we hear is people telling us that they spent two weeks in Bali and only took part in one activity or went on just one trip. It is sad because Bali has so much to offer that, if you spent a month there and went on a trip every day, you would barely have covered about 10% of all the activities and experiences that Bali can provide.

We are not saying you have to head off every day, as we would be the first to say that we wanted to spend a few days relaxing on the beach or by the pool. However, we would also be looking to take back some awesome memories of our time in Bali, which is why we research as many activities, trips, and experiences as we can. To save you having to, we have researched 7 of them for you, which we are sure includes at least one that you will personally be keen on trying.

#1 Waterfall Sliding: If there is one geographical feature that Bali has no shortage of it is waterfalls. They are plentiful, and also a huge attraction for tourists. You can visit several throughout your stay, but the best way is to take in three or four on the one day trip. You can simply visit them and admire their stunning beauty, or, if you feel more energetic, you can slide down some of them into the natural pool below.

Nusa Lembongan Villas

March 1, 2020 No Comments

Nusa Lembongan can be found in Klunkung and has about 5000 people who live there year round. The fact that this part of Bali is not highly populated means that it is a perfect place for a holiday getaway.

In Nusa Lembongan, you can get away from your busy everyday life and relax by the sea while enjoying luxurious accommodations. You won’t find a place with better weather than this area of Bali. The views from the limestone cliffs with the sea pounding into them is something you won’t forget. Nusa Lembongan is a small island, about 8 kilometers in total.

The two spots that tourists love to explore the most in Nusa Lembongan are JungutBatu and Mushroom Bay. These are the two most populated parts of the island with only 30% of the full time residents living elsewhere. JunguBatu and Mushroom Bay are a great place to find lots of fun things to do, lots of great restaurants and lots of luxurious accommodations.

What Kind of Outdoor Furniture Should You Choose

April 12, 2017 No Comments

There are many different styles of outdoor furniture to choose from and only by going to the furniture store can you get a better idea of what you might like. Some people who’ve been to Bali for holidays fall in love with the relaxed and easy lifestyle, along with the Indonesian style of furniture that goes with it. You can find a lot of these styles at some of the many furniture stores in Australia who import such furniture.

The main thing to consider is whether it will stand up to the weather, unless your outdoor area has a roof to protect everything from the rain. One of the latest trends is furniture that is similar to the old-fashioned cane work of yesteryear. This wicker furniture is traditionally made from plant based material that is dried and treated, then woven together to make beautiful furniture. However, being from plants, it tends to break down quickly if left out in the weather.

Man-made wicker work is made from PVC, plastic or fibreglass that withstands the aging and rotting effect of rain and sun. It lasts a long time and yet it looks just like the plant-based wicker work. Both create furniture that is attractive and strong, yet light enough to move around easily. Many people don’t like to be limited in the choice of position for their furniture, but rather like to shift it around to suit the occasion. So light furniture is ideal for them.

How to Look Your Best in Holiday Photos

November 5, 2016 No Comments

Holiday Photos The trend these days is for people who want to have Botox for wrinkles to combine the treatment with a holiday overseas. They may not realise that this is a poor decision for several reasons. The main idea for going to Bali or Thailand for such treatment is to cut back on the cost, but you don’t know for sure what the standard of training or experience is when you are dealing with overseas cosmetic surgeons. Some people have had a very poor experience in this regard and the Botox work needs to be redone when they return home.

In addition, when you consider that your holiday is going to be spoiled to some extent due to having those needles you may want to think again. How often do you get to go overseas? Even if you go every year, it still seems a shame to use holiday time for cosmetic treatment instead of enjoying the different culture and all the many other activities you like doing while on holiday.

For many people, this may be a once in a lifetime opportunity to really enjoy a trip to another country. But instead of exploring, you have to go to a clinic and afterwards, stay out of the sun for a while and not do anything strenuous. This will eat into your holiday time when you could be having fun.
