Hidden deep in North Bali’s jungle is Sekumpul Waterfall, often called the “King of Waterfalls.” Getting there feels like a journey into a secret world: a path winding past rice fields, across bamboo bridges, and down narrow shaded steps. When you first see Sekumpul, it takes your breath away. Seven streams of water tumble down […]

The first time you see Kelingking Cliff, it’s hard to believe it’s real. From above, the headland curves out toward the sea in the unmistakable shape of a giant T-Rex, as if frozen mid-stride. Below, turquoise waves fold into white spray, colliding with the rocks before pulling back again in rhythm. It feels like stepping […]

There are times in Bali when only a steak will do — charred over wood, sliced just right, and enjoyed slowly. The island has welcomed a wave of steakhouses, each with its own rhythm: some patient with dry-aging, others leaning on the deep flavour of wood fire, or keeping things simple with house-made sauces. What […]

Every year on 19 August, the world celebrates World Photography Day—a moment to honour the craft of freezing time, capturing feeling, and telling stories without saying a word.

Every August, the red and white flag flutters across archipelagos and alleyways. There are parades, sack races, and echoes of “Merdeka!” shouted from schoolyards to state halls.

Part of our “Meet IN” series: A gentle spotlight on people behind the island’s soul. Across Bali and the surrounding archipelago, weaving is more than tradition — it’s a spiritual act of storytelling. From the double ikat of Tenganan to the lontar crafts of Flores, it’s women who carry these threads — stitch by stitch, […]

On 15 August, the world takes a collective pause for National Relaxation Day. But here in Bali, we live it year‑round. More than a calendar date—it’s a reminder that rest is sacred, slow is intentional, and presence is everything. A Ritual Beyond a To‑Do List Forget structured meditation or spa appointments. True relaxation in Bali […]

NOTTE is a quiet bar made for people who aren’t in a rush. Tucked away in Uluwatu, it offers something simple but rare: space to pause, have a real conversation, and enjoy a drink made with care. The concept takes inspiration from slow coffee bars, where each cup is brewed with attention. At NOTTE, that […]

Whether they’re napping under the frangipani or sunbathing on your yoga mat, cats in Bali live a lifestyle we secretly envy. But behind every peaceful purr is a human doing the daily dance—between feeding times, surprise vet runs, and scratching posts that were once expensive furniture. So this International Cat Day, we celebrate the ones […]
