Bali Travel Guide: Sun, Wellness, and Fashion for the Perfect Reset

Bali Travel Guide: Sun, Wellness, and Fashion for the Perfect Reset

Bali feels like a breath of fresh air—warm rain, dreamy sunsets, and just the right amount of chaos. Between biking through traffic like a local, morning runs, and facials at Ammo (a game-changer, by the way), it’s been the perfect mix of work, play, and reset vibes.

Oh, and there’s something big coming soon (Santai—just saying). For now, here’s what I’ve been up to, where I’ve been eating, and the spots I can’t stop bookmarking.

 

Where I’m Staying: A Concrete Dream

BEDROOM

My villa is giving all the minimal, modern vibes I didn’t know I needed. Concrete touches, cozy corners, and enough space to make every morning coffee feel like an event. It’s effortlessly chic—basically my Pinterest board comes to life.

 

Self-Care at Ammo Skin Clinic

Ammo Skin Clinic

 

This facial? Life-changing. Ammo is the place to save for when you’re in Bali. My skin feels fresh, hydrated, and basically glowing. It’s self-care done right—and I already want to book another before I leave.

 

Places to Eat & Drink

Dawn Patrol Bali

My morning coffee obsession starts here. It’s been my savior for jet lag and everything in between.

Dinner

Think fine dining but without the fuss. Dinner here is just as good as the aesthetic.

Crate Café

Breakfast post-run? Crate is the go-to. Fresh, simple, and always hits the spot.

Lola’s Cantina Mexicana

Drinks, good vibes, and one chaotic motorbike ride to get there. Worth it.

Penny Lane


After shopping at Magali Pascal, I treated myself to a breakfast burger here. Zero regrets.

 

Wellness & Fitness

Running club at sunrise? Feels amazing—minus almost melting in the heat. I’ve also rejoined a class at ClassPass, so the sweat game is strong this trip.

Evenings are slower: beach swims, sunsets, and those dreamy fruit drinks you only order on vacation. Living in bikinis and matching sets has been my unofficial uniform.

Bali’s been a dream reset—sun, wellness, and a little too much shopping. Big things are coming (Santai is just the start), but until then, I’m soaking it all in.

For more of my Bali favorites, don’t forget to follow along on Instagram and LTK for daily updates and inspo. See you soon!

North Narrabeen

North Narrabeen

 

If I’m being honest, I’ve never really been a morning person… and if my Mum’s reading this she will undoubtably be rolling her eyes at what an understatement that is. But as I’ve gotten older I’ve come to understand how important mornings are to the rest of your day – not to say that my snooze button doesn’t still take beating – but some things are truly worth the sacrificed sleep, and a morning swim at North Narrabeen Rock Pool is one of them.

 

 

I’ve been living on The Beaches for nearly five years now, and while I’ve always consider myself more of a city person, you cannot argue the pristine perfection these beaches offer as the early morning sun rises over the South Pacific. Teamed with a coffee from one of the nearby cafes (Zubi on Ocean Street if we’re making suggestions) it’s a breath of fresh air before hitting the daily grind.
