Bali is one of Singaporeans’ most popular getaways, with its pristine beaches dotted with the most happening beachfront clubs, themed cafes and countless boutique shops selling cute and cheap summer wear. 

And as with any vacation, you’ll need to find someplace to rest your tired feet after a day of exploring the top spots of the sun-kissed city.

Checking in at the reception area.

On our most recent trip to Bali, we stayed at Hotel Indigo, a 5-star luxury hotel chain with branches in Bali, Hong Kong, New York and Singapore. The one in Seminyak is located right in front of Seminyak Beach and is a 10 minute drive away from popular club KU DE TA and central shopping district, Seminyak Square.

The Classic Room with a balcony (from ~S$197/night)

 

Hotel indigo bali - classic room

The most “basic” room in this hotel, the Classic Room is 50 sqm and has a cheerful yellow interior and floor-to-ceiling windows that let plenty of sunlight in. To put this into context, an average HDB 3-room flat is 60-65 sqm, so there’s plenty of room to chill with your loved one here.

The warm gold tones are a great mood booster, so you’ll feel invigorated during your stay.

Chill out at the hotel’s stunning main pool with a flamingo float.

Bali’s so hot, you’re bound to want to cool off, and if you don’t want to brave the crowds at the beach, Hotel Indigo’s rockin’ pools are the perfect places to dive in. In the Main Pool, you’ll find tanning beds, expats and enormous floats, including a watermelon popsicle and even a giant rubber ducky. 

Jump on the back of a huge flamingo and let the current bring you to the far end of the pool – the perfect spot for a picture under the clear blue sky.

Next to the Main Pool, the Cave Pool Lounge serves cold fruit juices, special BALIXOLOGY cocktails, sugarcane juice, and rolled ice cream to thirsty guests. 

The photo-worthy spots stretch beyond the pool, to a white hammock in the grass and cushy seats right in front of the beach for you to watch surfers catch the wave.

Ask a friendly staff member to help you turn on the jacuzzi.

Retreat to the Secret Garden Pool if you don’t fancy getting burned to a crisp during your visit to Bali, but still want a refreshing swim. Located beside the Main Pool down a winding path, it is surrounded by walls and trees. You can chill in the jacuzzi in the middle of the pool, or paddle about in its serene waters.

When you’re done splashing about, smooth out the water wrinkles by sitting on a bed beside the pool, under the shade of trees.

 

Health Club: a gym for the conscientious

It’s never too late to work for that summer bod, especially if you’re gonna be spending the next few days at Bali’s beaches. Get your last-minute abs at Hotel Indigo’s Health Club, which boasts a wide range of sports equipment. Practice your MMA throws on the martial arts bag, or check out the run-of-the-mill treadmills and exercise bikes… or are they?

The masseuse will adjust the pressure of the massage according to your preferences.

Combining shea butter and rose oils with the skilful hands of the professional masseuse, the full-body massage helps unknot the tense muscles you got from hunching over your office desk all day.

Incredible warmth from the Hotel Indigo Bali staff

Consult any of the hotel staff before you head out for the day – chances are, they’re familiar with where you’re going and can give local advice.

Heading out after dark in an unfamiliar city can be pretty daunting, but the hotel staff made sure to book a taxi for us beforehand. They even went the extra mile by ensuring the driver go our destination right before we drove off, and gave us the hotel name card in case we got lost and had to find our way back.

 

Bonus: Stay in a luxurious villa with a private pool
