For a group of friends who founded Air in 2015 with a motto at the time of ‘lets just do this and see what happens’’ Air Festival has blossomed into a global gathering of musically-driven souls, where the spiritual guide is the DJ. This year expect additional new stages including a live music offering, alongside their immersive and interactive events. Sunsets, sunrises and more Gili Air (meaning water island) treats will be available too.
Attached or single, there’s always time to celebrate love. Valentine’s Day may be commercialised but at the heart of it love rules. Say it with hearts, flowers, music, intimate dining, a couples spa treatment or a damn good bash, Bali is playing your song on February 14.
Great locations are where Scallywags begins. Their island paradises on both Gili Air and Gili Trawangan have enviable locations, where the sea laps at the tables, the view is endless and the powdery white sand sticks to your toes. The Scallywags nightly barbecue selection is legendary, a carry over from their first successful restaurant in Bali, Echo Beach. Choose from fresh seafood, steaks, kebabs and ribs, which are all barbecued to order. Sample a lively mix of salads, top it off with freshly baked bread and savour a beach bbq that tops all others.
Sitting pretty on the white sands of Tanjung Benoa on the Nusa Dua peninsula is Mantra Sakala – an excellent addition to Bali’s beach club and resort line up. With plenty of large suites and villas, Mantra Sakala aims to please with some fancy facilities including Illy coffee machines and a mini wine fridge to keep your bottles perfectly chilled. Adventure sports lovers will be in heaven, with parasailing, kayaking, snorkelling and boating all right on the doorstep.
Open for breakfasts, lazy lunches and unsurpassed fine dining come evening time, the sprawling downstairs premises of KU DE TA is packed every night with foodies who travel from far and wide to sample the goods at arguably the most well-known beach club restaurant in Bali. It goes without saying that the wine cellar here is in a class of its own, with an ever evolving selection of old and new world wines if you’re all cocktail-ed out. At sunset, the deejays turn out mood tunes while the tapas flows and the evening heats up.
Maybe it’s high time for a happy hour holistic treatment such as facial sculpting, day slimming, emergency acne rescue, hangover remedies and body sculpting. The signature skin spa is exceptional and clears away clogged sunblock with the whisk of a microderm abrasion wand.
