Bodrum: the beach clubs we know, love and book

For those who know how to have fun, we offer reservations for sun and shade at beach and pool clubs that start early and have the Crème de la Crème of the DJ world behind the desk by noon.

• Momo Beach: after making a name for itself in Cesme, the club opened in Bodrum last summer. A place with the spirit of Tulum, Mykonos and Ibiza, where Happy Hours gastronomic sets are accompanied by musical ones. The dancing here starts at lunchtime, slowing down closer to sunset when it’s time for dinner and more relaxed tunes. Momo Beach is a private club, but for your guests, we will do our best to open the doors.

• Folie Restaurant Sea: the name of the place already translates from French as “madness”. Folia is truly a paradise for parties by the sea. You can listen to music while lying on a lounge chair on a wooden pontoon (the most expensive accommodation is 10,000 TL for two people), sitting in the restaurant or at the bar. Everywhere is equally insanely excellent! Children under 18 are not allowed.

• Xuma Village: a beach club surrounded by trees. The background music ranges from “enveloping” to dynamic, depending on the time of day. Xuma often brings in famous international DJs. There is a kids club and playground, making this place a great vacation option for families with children from 6 years old and up.

We will continue to introduce you to beach clubs in the next posts.

The St. Regis Bali Resort: Nusa Dua couldn’t be nicer

The St. Regis Bali, located in Nusa Dua, the island’s most respectable resort, covers 19 hectares and is built like a traditional Balinese village. At the same time on such a large area at the same time rest no more than 250 people, most of whom occupy separate villas with their own pools. Therefore, in high season the public spaces of the hotel do not look overcrowded.
 
The resort’s wide, sandy beach, with its signature red umbrellas, is the center of attraction for all guests. It’s ideal for swimming in the sea, even at low tide. There is a beach bar with cocktails and snacks, which are delivered directly to the lounger, in addition to cool water, sorbet and slices of watermelon, which are offered to vacationers complementary during the day. It is important to note the absence of loud music and the location of sunbeds at an impressive distance from each other – the noise of the waves, relaxation and only.

If to speak about gastronomy, here the hotel adheres to the principle of maximum variety and the absence of any restrictions. Guests vacationing here for two weeks are unlikely to try all the dishes that are offered at breakfast in the restaurant Boneca, where a rich buffet is presented and offer a la carte dishes, including specialty eggs with foie gras and omelet with crab.

Sunday brunch at Kayputi Restaurant is a must. The St. Regis brunch is an island-wide smash, and guests from other hotels come here for the brunch. Sunday brunch a la carte is accompanied by black caviar and champagne, served à la carte but without restrictions: oysters, sea urchins, foie gras medallion, wagyu meat. We advise you to calculate your strength and leave room for dessert: pastry chefs here prepare absolutely fantastic variations of French pastries.

Raffles Bali: unforgettable family celebrations

Singapore-based hotel brand Raffles needs no introduction. After 128 years, the luxury hotel chain welcomes travelers in 18 countries.

The Raffles Bali resort opened in 2020 in Jimbaran Bay, but due to the pandemic it started operating at full capacity a couple of years ago. Like all hotels in the chain, Raffles Bali is ultra-luxe.

There are only 32 villas on a fairly large property, three of which have several bedrooms each. Importantly, the hotel is located on a hillside and the villas cascade with maximum privacy. Each villa is built to modern standards of ergonomics and design. The concept of living is our favorite – quiet luxury.

You can already take advantage of the special offer “Family Holiday”, which includes a 25% discount on a second villa.
In addition, look out for two, three and four bedroom villa options for private celebrations with your family or company.

Also:
• Turtle hatching season runs from April through October. During their stay at Raffles Bali, guests have the opportunity to witness the Turtle Release ceremony, the hatching of the turtles and their swift escape to the life-saving water
• Fun Pickleball Sessions. A relatively new dynamic sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis and table tennis. The outdoor courts provide the perfect setting for friendly matches or lively family games
• A master class to make Indonesia’s traditional herbal drink Jamu or your own version using fresh local ingredients under the guidance of expert bartenders
• Activities for children aged 3 to 12 years: arts and crafts, cupcake and pizza making classes, exploring Balinese culture through traditional dress and theatrical performances. Babysitting services are available on request
• Barbecue in the comfort of your own villa – at sunset, under the stars, in the aromas of freshly grilled seafood and meats. The resort’s chefs are at the guests’ service
• Raffles Spa believes that emotional and physical wellbeing is a necessity, so the hotel offers mindfulness classes that range from yoga and meditation to batik painting, reiki and sound healing. Wellness treatments are customized with cosmetics made from local ingredients and based on indigenous healing practices reminiscent of Bali’s heritage. The most unusual experience is at The Sanctuary Spa Pavilion, which is located at the top of a hill and is accessed by a path through the jungle.
