The Sands That Linger On
Bali is a very beautiful place, filled with many beautiful and historical things that have attracted many tourists over the years. Unfortunately, of all the years that I have been living and working here, I have never taken the time to seriously explore this beautiful and enriched island. 
As a way to enjoy myself fully and as advised by a few of my colleagues, I decided to visit a new environment that I rarely go to, Finn’s Beach Club. I must say that if you have never been, then pencil in a visit to this place on your calendar ASAP. This little slice of paradise is safely tucked away below some breathtaking and imposing cliffs. And the journey to reach it is just as thrilling as the site of the club itself. I was with this Swedish family in the inclinator when I noticed a boy next to me had to actually close and open his eyes a few times to make sure he was not dreaming, and everything he saw just kept eliciting a ‘wow’ out of his mouth. 
Being a beach lover, I put my standard quite high when it comes to rating a beach. And as for Finn’s Beach Club, I was overwhelmed for the fact that the beach has clean white sands with silky textures that your feet would fall in love with. Well at least mine definitely did so. Aside from the beautiful sand, I felt in love with the clear blue water that looked like mirrors and would entice anyone to put on their bathing suits and indulge themselves in their warmth. The green backdrops were so eye catching and rich that they reminded me of some of the Disney cartoon movies that I watched growing up.
During the day, the place looked like it had been kissed by the sun; all looking very bright with clear blue skies, cheerful and fresh. This set up is quite favorable for the various outdoor activities, which I indulged in with enthusiasm, that are offered like snorkeling, stand up paddle boarding and kayaking. As well as enjoy the beach loungers under wide beach parasols, sipping a cocktail or two.
Time flied, and the nightlife at the club greeted a different era of clear skies with lights everywhere that reminded me of the awesome and aesthetic sunsets that I have enjoyed in Phuket a while ago. However, for an unspeakable reason, I feel like the sunset at Finn’s was magical. This is why. 
The sky was painted an array of pink, orange and yellow. The clouds and the pale glow of the moon was beginning to show. The bonfires were fired up, toast marshmallows and a bottle of Corona teasing at my both hands. Music was playing in enough volume and rhythm along with the screaming waves hitting rocks, as if they were trying to create a new form of melody. People starting to look each other and dancing around like fools. So I asked myself, “What could go wrong?” Exactly. Nothing. Even the little kids seemed to have fun with whatever they do. Yup, that’s right. Finn’s Beach Club is nothing like most of the beach clubs alongside Kuta – Seminyak area where all about ladies, parties and boozes. I prefer to say that Finn’s Beach Club is a family beach club.
 My unending love for the beach scene drew me out to enjoy the bonfires throughout the night, dancing and of course making new friends. While I was sitting on the sand witnessing this enduring moments of my life flashing before me, I remember an anonymous quote I saw in the book I read last night, “Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.” Being at Finn’s Beach Club was one of those moments that take my breath away. Having said so, I encourage everyone to spare some time off their busy schedules and go check out Finn’s Beach Club. I promise you will not be disappointed.  As for me, I am still smiling writing this.

Keep It Bouncing at Canggu Club
Children are a treasure in life but they can be a trying kind with the amount of energy that they exude most of the time. In addition to that, they can be quite very demanding. Truth is keeping up with a kid, especially one who has just discovered the art of walking, is not easy for an adult especially one with a lot of things going on in their personal life.
 Many families have come up with their own ways of spending time with their kids doing fun activities or visiting real fun places. Go to the beach or the movies, to exotic places for holidays, video gaming halls, or participate in awesome and fun competitions. All this is partly to give the parents some breathing space and catching up with whatever is going on in their kids’ lives.
And to help kids enjoy themselves to the maximum, the Canggu Club Bali has come up with its own version of Disney World where kids can be entertained as well as explore their energies with all the sporting venues that are availed to them. And now in their backyard is every child’s dream – A Bounce Trampoline.
 As much as this beautiful structure was made for kids, I believe that it is sturdy enough to withstand the weight of adults and children alike. And if you are an adult that does not want to indulge in that divine pleasure of exploring greater heights, it is alright. There are people that are there to watch over the safety of your young ones. This trampoline structure can hold as many people as allowed and it can be the best treat a parent or guardian can give to their offspring or wards.
 And while the little ones even your teenagers enjoy themselves, the adults can watch over them in a restaurant and bar that is raised over the structure. So imagine fun and food all in one place. What more could a parent want.
 The Canggu Bali Trampoline Center has provided various packages for those who interested to the extent that the fun can be multiplied over and over and over again. So one can have it arranged to have a trampoline themed party, a fun sports themed party like basketball and so much more.
 And if your kid likes to try out new tricks for their sports say like basketball, and other activities like dancing, then this big and gorgeous Bounce Trampoline is highly recommend that allows exploration of ideas to the fullest and with maximum safety measures in place. With its 360 degree allowance and bounces that can be achieved to awesome heights, your child is bound to be the star of whatever show they have in mind.
 Aside from that free jump arena that has conquered many kids’ hearts, Canggu Club Bali has made sure to provide other sports activities that will keep your kids busy having fun. The next best things are Splash Water Park and Strike Ten Pin Bowling alley that has become a team building and bounding experience for some families.
 The juiciest part of all this is that the Club is open to all parties, foreign and domestic, that want to enjoy Canggu Bali’s fun providing amenities by providing day passes each and every day, all year round. But if you want to belong to the special class, memberships are also provided wholeheartedly to you.
 Having said so, if you still haven’t planned or trying to figure out where to take the kids end of this month, consider Canggu Club Bali to fill that spot. Be well assured that you will not be disappointed in any way. Trust that at the end of that awesome holiday your loved, ever energetic and curious kids will shower you with praises for a long time for the thought. All you have to be prepared for is a mug that says “I love you mommy and daddy”.

Whether it’s for a holiday or a business trip away from home, you need to get a place where you’ll be comfortable and feel at ease. No one wants to stay in a crappy hotel (excuse the language) even when they don’t have that much money. Even if you’re staying in a place for one night, it still feels good to stay in a place where you can feel comfort. Have you ever been to a place where you feel so much at home that you actually forget you’re actually away from home? Aside from the fact that your family might not be there with you, there are villas where the feeling of being at home is something they live for. These are the places that we all want to find and spend our days away from home. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying to escape from your home life and stay at a villa. All I’m saying is that for those times when you have to be away from home, you should try to be as comfortable as you possibly can.
The question is where and how to find such villas. I mean you could search the internet, but aside the fact that is only time consuming, but there’s also no assurance that you will find what you are looking for. It’s like searching for a needle in a hay stack, there are so many villas out there, but if you don’t know where to look, the chances of you getting the right ones is pretty slim. The good thing is that we are here to guide you, so you need not fret.
 Book Ease and Dream or better known as BED is a company that is devoted to getting you the best villas in Bali. We have a whole team of experts dedicated to cover all areas in the island, specifically in Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu, and some other locations. We aim to ensure that you find the most captivating and luxurious villas that meet your satisfaction. Our highly experienced team of travel experts examine each of the villas individually, meaning that we approach to them personally to make sure that the villas are up to the standard that BED has set. It is one thing for someone to recommend something and it is another thing for that person to recommend something that they have actually had experience with, or which they have seen firsthand. Given the extent of the research that our experts do, you can rest assured regardless of your destination, BED will find you a perfect villa that you will love and which will definitely make your dreams come true.
 The best thing about BED is that our team of experts not only picks the best villas, but we also negotiate the best prices to ensure you will stay in a luxury and affordable accommodation in Bali. Our company understands the best things in life don’t need to be that expensive and that you will enjoy your stay much more, if you don’t have to sell your blood to afford it. I remember the first time BED quoted a price for a European honeymooner, they thought there was no way we could possibly get them a good room at that price. To their surprise, in their testimony, the room was better than the more expensive rooms they had been to. It was spacious, private, homey and conveniently located in Seminyak area. It was really everything they wanted. BED has made the lovely couple realize that it doesn’t have to be very expensive for one to stay at a luxury/private villa in Seminyak, which they have always dreamt of.
 Besides our excellent choice in villas, BED is also there to ensure you get all the help you need throughout your travel. Right from the time you make your booking to when you go back home, BED will have you covered. Booking a villa and organizing such things can be exhausting and time consuming which is why our consultants are there to help you all the way. The BED consultants are available twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and are willing to help you with organizing everything that is associated with your trip, from airport transfers to babysitting. If you like to go around exploring the area, BED consultants can hook you up with the local tour guides and give the best recommendation. All we ask in return is only for you to enjoy your stay much more. Plain and simple.
 BED is definitely a service provider you can trust to get you the perfect villa and any other request you might have along with it. Regardless of what you need, all you have to do is pick up the phone and talk to our consultants.

Courtesy of Bali Wake Park

Bali Wake Park is Bali's latest top destination for fans of an active vacation, especially for people who love water sports. Bali Wake Park was opened in April 2015, and it opened ceremoniously with a grand attraction: the Island Wake Fest 2015, which was the first Wake-boarding Competition in the country.
 Bali Wake Park perfectly combines an active vacation with relaxation, as within its grounds there is state-of-the-art cable system designed around a beautiful lake that spreads across 5 hectares of land. This modern cable system has 8 individual carriers that comfortably transports 8 people at the same time. This cable system is designed in such way that the speed of movement can be adjusted to the individual needs and desires of each user, so there is a variety of activities (and difficulties of activities) for youths and adults. The entire system is designed in a way that it offers different demands for users: there are deliberately placed obstacles in the water, so you can go for a smooth ride, or for an adventure-packed wake-board run! If you fall off the carrier before the end of your ride, a buggy service will come to pick you up, as every cable user is monitored for safety. Within the system there is a 2 tower system that enables beginner users to take their first steps in wake-boarding, with professional help and support from expert instructors. If you don't need an instructor's help, you can brush up on your wake boarding skills on dual level pool gap. There you will find several different obstacles that will make your ride even more interesting.
When you get tired and need a break from all these exciting activities, you can relax with a drink at an infinity pool bar. The beautiful infinity pool with a bar is located conveniently above the lake, so you will have a view of the entire lake, and watch the action all the time! 
If you get hungry, you can choose among two excellent restaurants. There is the Mades Warung restaurant that serves both traditional and international tasty dishes, as well as the Akame Restaurant that serves Chinese dishes, enabling you to truly enjoy in local cuisine.
After a treat in one of these gourmet restaurants, how about enjoying a classic, traditional spa treatment? Glo Spa, conveniently located in the park, provides relaxing massages and beauty treatments by local professionals. Give yourself over to the professional, soothing hands of local masseuse masters, and revive your energy within 30-45 minutes.
Round up a day of amazing activities and relaxation with an exciting helicopter ride that is also organized for Bali Wake Park guests. This is an amazing opportunity to enjoy in the hidden beauties of Bali that are otherwise hidden from the eyes of tourists.
It is easy to reach Bali Wake Park, as it is conveniently situated just a 15 minute ride from the popular tourist destinations of Sanur, Kuta, Nusa Dua and Jimbaran.
Bali Wake Park was designed and developed to promote local environment protection and awareness. Bali wants to protect its natural beauties and treasures, but also to enable tourists to enjoy in them. Environmental sustainability is the key for protection and development, and Bali Wake Park management and staff are completely devoted to fulfilling these goals. The majority of staff are locals, because the idea is to improve the social situation in the local community and to enable further local development. Besides, the employment element, Bali Wake Park expect to work on developing and creating future wakeboard champions and competitors—local sportsmen who will compete with world class athletes in both local and international competitions. 
Bali Wake Park is now the first and only wake park in Bali, which will definitely contribute to what Bali has to offer its tourists, especially with respect to water sports and active vacations. Tourists these days expect more from their vacations: they don't want to just lie on the beach or by the swimming pool and drink a cocktail; they are into sightseeing, festivals, sporting activities and competitions. Active holidays enable tourists to create memories and have something to remember for the years ahead, and Bali Wake Park is just such a destination—one that will help everyone enjoy in active holidays and create some fun-filled memories. 
If you visit Bali, make sure to add a visit to Bali Wake Park in your itinerary. We are sure you will not regret this decision!

Villa Nikara by Nakula Hospitality Management
 Tranquility, sense soothing surrounding and rest is the things for which we seek residence. We miss all of these when we have to shift to somewhere else especially in a foreign country. However, Villa Nikara, managed by Nakula Hospitality Management, is a remarkable place to stay where one will get access to all any comfort one desires for at the residence and will not let you feel nostalgic for ‘Home sweet home’. Nestled in the tropical coconut groves, the Villa welcomes guests from all over the world with an unmatched warmth and kindness. Welcome to Paradise!

The Design
The sharp, crisp white lines of the Villa's architecture compliment the array of surrounding exotic and lush vegetation, which has spread its roots and taken up a pleasant residence all over the property. The entire Villa has an air of peace and comfort: the property's open floor plan promotes an exchange with nature, allowing the guest to take a deep breath of fresh air upon arrival, and use this fragrant scent as an hourly reminder of what a beautiful place one has arrived in.
 Villa Nikara has drawn upon various cultures in its visual design and layout. Everything from American modernism to European grace is pleasantly woven together and blended with Indonesian island flair. The highly modern architect of the villa combined with classy yet comfortable furniture is excellent. Systematically designed interior assisted with electronic devices and equipments of daily use will make your life here very smooth going as at your residence, you won’t feel cut off from the rest of the world as Wi-Fi connection surrounds you here. Even the unnoticeable turnings of the room are decorated with well suited unique items that are praise worthy. The artistically carved wooden art pieces in the form of utility furnishings and the characteristic wood woven furnishing beside the pool add more to the calm serene of the place.
 The unique pacific effect created by the natural plants, natural and man-made water source is multiplied by the smooth wooden work finish and design of the furnishings and the smart color pastel color combination of the rooms. All these well-crafted ideas have put up this awestruck accommodation which is perfect for relaxing days away from home.

The Location
The lovely Villa Nikara rests just ten kilometers north of Kuta, in the pristine coastal village of Canggu. The villa is a stunningly luxurious accommodation, which offering an unforgettable getaway for those who are looking for a perfect retreat.
 The property is well connected with the Bali International Airport which is at an easy accessible distance reached within 30 minutes drive. The villa is advantageously positioned between the serene Canggu, and trendy Seminyak, which is about 15 minutes drive from the Villa. The famous Tanah Lot Temple is in the neighborhood less than 30 minutes drive, and you can easily find tons of cafes around you. If you like sports, the 5 minutes drive Canggu Club provides bowling area, tennis court, fitness centre, and lots of fun activities for kids. The distance to the nearest beach is at 5 minutes convenience walk.

The Facilities
The sole purpose of the Villa seems to be providing the visitor with the gracious gift of luxurious self-care during each minute of the stay. The pool and central lounge are surrounded by rich and vibrant gardens which seem to have been carefully selected to provide the most appealing colors and shapes possible. The surrounding effect was so scintillating that it will rip one off of all the weariness of the journey. The deep tropical green color of the pool matches perfectly with the earthen tones running gently along the borders and trim of the lounge. The entire island feels as if it were developed with a clean, elegant palette tailored to the weary traveler.  Rejuvenation is possible here.
 One of the most spectacular rooms in the Villa is the bedroom. The room has a traditional, almost Colonial appeal. It is simply a breath of fresh air to walk inside and see the translucent drapes gently drifting in the breeze, and to hear the waves upon the shore in the distance. The view from the balcony is stunning as the visitor looks out to the Bali Sea and feels its commanding presence from the perch high atop of the Villa; it seems as if the entire world is at your fingertips. The bed is flanked by large, striped groupings of wood, again reinforcing the connection with nature while maintaining comfort and warmth. One never feels walled in at the Villa; instead, the expansive simplicity and efficient décor only serve to free the senses.
 The bathroom opens up into a splendid long hallway. This room is enlarged by a wide mirror above a dark polished countertop with a deep sink resting on its surface. The stylishly dark tones in the bathroom give a sense of direction towards the bathtub and shower. Vegetation seems to gently tap at the windows by the shower as if to assure you that your purpose for being here is to relax and be on vacation.
 Dining area facing the serene pool is ready for me to enliven guests with the continental breakfast. The dine area gives digestive jolly interior which has variably lit options which can be turned on upon your mood and choice. The corners are decorated with characteristically Indonesian lamps whose lit beauty will attract you unconsciously.

The Activities
While there is so much to enjoy on the property and the days can easily be spent under the shade of palms by the pool, there is much to do outside of the luxurious refuge the Villa provides. Only a short walk from the main property is the quaint Berawa Beach. Despite the occasional plot of development, there is still enough of an expanse across its sands for any visitor to find a peaceful reprieve from the sunshine and sink their toes into a private lot of sand to watch the waves crash into the shore. The Bali Sea is cut with vibrant blues and it is quite easy to become lost in the timeless, healing motion of the tides.
 Another nearby location is that of the Potato Head Beach Club. Despite its amusing name, it is a place that should be visited by all. High luxury and spanning ocean vistas are paired with amazing foods and a wild nightlife. This is one of the focal points of Bali, as the Potato Head Beach Club seems to attract all of those artists, musicians and entertainers that make the culture of the island so lively and captivating. The famous Potato Head Beach Club is only within 10 minutes drive, where the exhilarating bars and boutiques are nearby too.
 If you have had your daily fill of relaxing in this tropical paradise and decide that shopping is the order of the day, then simply head to Laksmana Street and you will find luxurious goods and wares that will keep you entertained for hours. The downtown of Canggu also has some spectacular restaurants. While the majority of the fare is Indonesian, if you wander off of the beaten path just a bit, you can also find some of the best Mexican and American eateries on the island.
