How do you make the most of a sunny day in Bali? You can’t go wrong with a classic Bali beach club (who could resist all that laid-back luxury and incredible […]
There’s already a crew lounging in the shallow edges of the pool, their icy cocktails a stark contrast to the blue and white of the venue – mango and strawberry frozen margaritas are working their magic as the clock ticks towards the adults-only hour at 3pm.

Desa Potato Head, as it is now named, encompasses Potato Head Beach Club, the Beach Hotel and the luxurious Potato Head Suites, in the former boutique hotel Katamama. There are two types of rooms, the ocean-front suites with views across the ocean and down the coast, and the studio-style rooms which are compact and almost Japanese in their clever use of space and repurposed elements.
Cocktail Anthology consists of eponymous drinks named after expatriates of the time like American anthropologist, Margaret Mead who chose the highland village of Bayung Gede for her work. Mead documented 200 photographs from 1936 to 1939 where she vividly captured the everyday lives of the men, women, and children of her adopted village. As an author and academic, Mead was in her element calling Bali life “a rhythmic, patterned unreality of pleasant, significant movement, centered in one’s own body to which all emotions long ago withdrew.”

Bali has the lot, from laid-back chill out beach clubs to new ones with refreshing concepts to add to old favourites that have both survived and thrived.

Made with the finest beans sourced from the Spice Islands, this distinctively crafted coffee liqueur delivers a rich coffee flavour with less sugar than most commercial brands. The result is a liqueur that is as intriguing and mysterious as the islands that inspired it.

Pulling off the street and driving under the canopy of leafy bamboo is a little like Alice falling through the looking glass.
