Bali 101

Brendan:This South American bar is located in the heart of Seminyak. When entering you are immediately immersed in what feels like a huge treehouse in the middle of the jungle. La favela has so many different areas to sit/dance and is a bit of a maze. The bar has multiple levels all having the same fun Hispanic atmosphere. You can enjoy a flavourful meal before going upstairs for a dance. I highly recommend this bar for a good night out.

Brendan:Dare I say Potato Head Beach Club has got to be one of the best beach bars/clubs I've been to around the world! Whether you want to grab some food at one of the three restaurants they have, a cocktail at any of the three bars or maybe just relax on a day beds spread across their massive lawn overlooking probably the Indian Ocean. Guess what!? You can even make a splash in their infinity pool while sipping on your cocktail. Potato Head is the go-to spot located in Seminyak.

Brendan:Mrs Sippy Bali is the latest holiday hotspot, that you have to go experience for yourself. Find yourself amongst hundreds of others sipping well-shaken cocktails relaxing on one of the poolside day beds or maybe jumping off one of their diving platforms into the perfect temperature water. Mrs sippy is fun and exciting and is waiting for you to arrive!

Brendan:At KU DE TA you're constantly surrounded by the fragrance of fresh ocean water. The design of the bar is done so elegantly that it seems yo transition perfectly into a lively backdrop of music, dancing or lounging. Whether over a meal or casual cocktails you've got to see the beautiful view of the sunset this bar has to offer. If you haven't been before you've got to try it out.

Brendan:Motel Mexicola has an authentic Mexican vibe, as soon as you walk in the atmosphere and the surroundings take you straight to Mexico! Along with their amazing Mexican food, they have a great drinks menu as well. I recommend asking the staff to order for you so you can experience the menu the way its meant to be. Be warned though, if you're looking for a quiet place to wine and dine this is not the place for you. Motel Mexicola is all about fun and excitement, so when you arrive be prepared to have fun and dance the night away MEXICAN STYLE!

Brendan:One of Bali's most luxurious day clubs, Omnia is situated right on top of a cliff 100 metres above the Indian Ocean, in Uluwatu. Along with the stunning views, the swanky, oceanfront club offers a large swimming pool, 3 bars & DJ events in a stylish, open-air setup. Please do note its not the cheapest bar going around but it is worth the whole experience! *If you're staying around Seminyak, Legian or Kuta it's about a 45-60 minute drive to get here.

Brendan:A cute little cafe tucked away ready for you to find. Waiting for you is the super friendly staff and a beautiful range of options. If you want something sweet - go for the brioche French toast, extremely yum! For savoury, the signature corn fritters and poached eggs are the pick of the menu. However my go-to almost every time is the red velvet pancakes they're to die for if you're a sweet tooth like myself. The coffee is great, sometimes it can be hard to find a good coffee in Bali, so thats always a bonus. Their juices are also a great option if you're looking for something fresh and light. In my opinion one of the best breakfast spots in Bali!

Brendan:Sisterfields brings the iconic cafe culture of Australia to the heart of Seminyak, Bali. Showcasing fresh pastries, salads and sandwiches alongside an extensive all-day breakfast, brunch and lunch. Sisterfields is a must-try in my books! For breakfast, you've got to try the Chocolate Brioche French Toast it's appealing to the eyes and the stomach.

Brendan:Located right on the beachfront, you can grab an awesome view of the amazing Bali sunsets. The resort is surrounded by many places to eat and explore. The rooms themselves are very spacious and clean while being exclusive. Legian Beach Hotel caters for families, honeymooners, business travellers and disabled travellers. The resort is like a tropical oasis dotted with coconut palms, shady trees, and sweet-scented flowers. All in all the staff are very friendly and it's a very nice stay at an affordable price.

Brendan:The Haven has a sophisticated contemporary design, where the hotel sits right next to one of the main chic shopping strips and an eclectic mixture of dining options and party venues in Seminyak. Being only a short distance from the ever-famous Seminyak Beach as well, they have their very own exclusive Beach Club. Surrounded by verdant landscaped grounds and two refreshing swimming pools to choose from, that tropical holiday feeling is with you throughout your whole stay. Would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to be in the action & wanting an affordable price for an amazing hotel.
