Where:
Bali, Indonesia
Why:Exploring the island of Bali
When:January 2018
Who:Me, my boyfriend Dougy and our friend Jack, who became our private diving instructor. (This is not a dirty joke, it’s a Bali reality)

Feeling like Dorothy following the yellow brick road, looking for our tent.

I love how neatly our tent was designed and decorated. It’s small yet feels luxurious and very comfortable.

I mean is it even a holiday without towel swans on the bed?

Menjangan Dynasty Resort I love how open this bathroom is. The ring on the floor below the shower, stops the water flooding everywhere pretty efficiently. The toilet is hidden behind bamboo room separators, it’s chill, don’t be a prude.

The main restaurant with the beach. Do you see the little guy in the photo? That’s Jack.

Menjangan Dynasty Resort I had a cheeky treatment here. So lovely hearing the water splash below the straw bamboo hut. I can’t say enough about how much I love outside showers!

Serene breakfast with the view. Choose between Indonesian or Western food. Lots of fresh tropical juices! Yum!

Menjangan Dynasty Resort This glamping spot is all about diving. We chartered a private boat at the hotel and had our friend Jack take us through the ropes under water as he is a qualified diving instructor. The underwater world here is breathtaking! Here is also the Manjangan Temple seen from the water.

Jumping Jack flash!

I wasn’t posing, I promise. Overlooking the national park and mountains Raung, Ijen and Baluran.

If diving is not for you, dive in here.

Menjangan Dynasty Resort There are so many cool things to do in this region, like going to see the rice terraces at a near by village. I am so in love with Bali.

Somewhere beyond the sea are me and Dougy.

Highs & Lows

Dive center at the hotel and a boat that picks you up straight off your breakfast seat! I mean there are no excuses now. Dive center at the hotel and a boat that picks you up straight off your breakfast seat! I mean there are no excuses now.
The hotel is highly environmentally conscious. The staff at the dive centre run a regular beach and underwater cleanups with active reef conservation.
So cool to get out of South Bali and discover the rest of the island. You can see Java from Menjangan and there are cool things to do around, like visiting villages, waterfalls, river rafting, trekking and other fun stuff.
The tent is really comfortable. You always hear the water splashing on the beach, sleeping like a baby is guaranteed.

We were visiting during wet season, so beware and be prepared to cancel your plans.
