Honeymoon: Bali (day 1 - Seminyak)

Before honeymoon left remain forgettable I'd better post it here as memories to remember.

So we decided Bali as our honeymoon destination. Since I've been there at 3 yo (which I couldn't even remember a thing) and hubby was agree wherever to go as long as it's honeymoon.

We started our trip on March 16th, 2016 in the morning. It cost us IDR 1.695.867 (CGK - DPS - CGK)

The first thing I remember as soon as I got there is Bali was freaking hot as hell. We had lunch at the airport and ordered grab taxi to got to our villa at Batubelig, Seminyak. We had no idea that Grab and Uber are available in Bali which was saving us a lot of money from taxi costs. It only cost us IDR 60k for grab taxi instead of around 200k if we're using taxi.

Since the title was honeymoon we didn't into traveling. Just wanna enjoy the moment we've spent together there without rush in with the tight schedule tour.

I had this wish since before we get married to stay in a villa once in our honeymoon trip. So we searched for an affordable 5-star villa that suit to honeymooners in Seminyak. We used agoda, booking.com and traveloka as comparison to find the most affordable one. We ended up booking this villa from traveloka. It's called Asthana Batubelig Villa in Seminyak. It cost us IDR 1.148.857 (after 10% discount from traveloka) for a night. So take a look at the villa urself :)

The aisle to villa. Isn't it lovely? 😍

We request for a honeymoon setup at first and didn't cost any additional payments ahead (yayyy)

Sunset at Batubelig beach

We went to Batubelig beach, looking for beautiful sunset there. It only took us 5 mins walking from villa. This was the best beach for me not because of the view, but the quite and far from the crowd place which we really craved for. What a sweet serendepity by sawing bule running by the beach along with some dogs, no local people taking picture with selca stick, making noises or threw junk all over the beach. It only us (the locals) and all the bules enjoying the sunset. Priceless (literally).

We tried walking along the road at night just because. For the record, Bali is not Moslem friendly. It's hard to find mosque or halal food. We only ate halal certified junk food there. We back to villa after bought some simple groceries to be made at the kitchen that provided in our villa. 

First honeymoon dinner. Nothing fancy, just bread, self-made martabak mie, drinks and a gorgeous man in front of me ;)

The private pool right in front of the bedroom. You could just jump straight to it.

As we check in we'd already given breakfast menu for tomorrow morning. So we chose indonesian and american breakfast menus and set 7.30 am as the time to deliver the breakfast. Yes, the breakfast delivered straight to our room. It's a truly heavenly honeymoon. 

"Just look, don't eat! I'm not done capturing" told the lady to the man who's absolutely starving. His comment after breakfast "I prefer normal all you can breakfast that provided by usual hotel. This is too little to my tummy" which I couldn't agree more. Namanya perut indonesia. Mana cukup makan dikit gini.

So we've spent or first day long of honeymoon almost in villa. Well, it's honeymoon tho, what do you expect? We didn't care of places, stuffs or culture there. And we paid some rupiahs for a villa so it such a waste to not enjoy everything there. After all, It's all about us, isn't it? 😝

Let's call it a day. The next day we moved to Nusa Dua that I'll write in the next post.

Thanks for reading, and if there anything I can help please do leave a comment. It's my pleasure to help 😊
