It’s no secret that Bali has killer sunsets. For the unitiated, arguably one of the best places to watch the sky turn a whimsical pink and fiery orange is at Uluwatu. That said, shimmy on down to southern Bali to La Joya Balangan Resort that sits atop a cliff overlooking surf-worthy waves.

The rooms (~S$136/night) blend right into the hotel’s tropical surroundings with its rustic decor. For more privacy opt for a private bungalow (from S$170/night) that comes with an outdoor terrace and open air shower. To get some sun and surf, Balangan Beach is just a short walk down, and you can grab a meal at one of the warungs there.

But if you feel like staying in, grab dinner with a view at the in-house La Joya restaurant which serves both western and local dishes.

If you and your partner bond over adventure and wanderlust, you’ve probably heard about the gorgeous Balinese island of Nusa Penida. But let’s be real – hiking for unrivalled views on the famous Kelingking Cliff and swimming with manta rays in crystal clear waters warrant more than a day trip to Nusa Penida. So, why not stay a few nights instead?

To set the mood for your getaway, wind down in your very own bamboo villa at Penida Bambu Green Villas. Rustic vibes ooze out of this place as it’s surrounded by thick foliage. But it’s not without its everyday comforts. Each room (from S$67/night) comes with free WiFi, air-conditioning, and even an open air bath.

Cop yourself a spacious VVIP tent (from S$113/night) that comes with its very own private pool and overlooks the rice fields. Or, snuggle up in the VIP tent (from S$63/night) which still has everyday comforts such as a smart telly and air conditioning.
The resort describes the VIP tent as your own little private “onion” – how cute is that?

For those who want to rough it out – kinda like real camping – enquire with the hotel to try out the Theater Tent. It’s quite literally a camping tent with a hotel bed inside. But you’ll have access to a private bathroom and you can spend the entire night admiring the stars from the comfort of the hotel lawn.

If you’re able to peel yourselves away from your tent, exploring the Carangsari region will be worth your while. Book a cycling tour to explore the village’s gorgeous rice terraces and meet some local wildlife at the Sangel Monkey Forest.

Besides exploring the manicured grounds of the resort, treat yourself to a pamper sesh at the spa. A 1-hour Balinese aromatherapy massage will only set you back IDR350,000 (~S$30.64). Then, cap off the day with a 3-course romantic dinner (IDR450,000/person, ~S$39.27) by the beach.
You can arrange a private dinner with the hotel, away from the main dinner crowd.
