Thetraveljunkie.org – Today I wanted to show you the photos that I took in Gili Trawangan when I worked on the Pearl of Trawangan shoot. I cannot wait to see the end result! I took advantage of some spare time to walk around the island, eat a pad Thai rice noodles (yes, pad Thai rice noodles in Gili Trawangan) and drink a mango juice at Pearl Beach Lounge, a lounge which makes the most delicious pad Thai rice noodles!
Thetraveljunkie.org – If there’s something you must visit when coming to Gili Trawangan, that’s Pearl Beach Lounge. It’s the exotic center of the island – a trip to all senses.
It’s perfect to get lost around the best foods and drinks in island, where we had breakfast, or around one of the dozens of restaurants or bars there are – full of unique pieces that you will die for- like Nasi Goreng with chicken (Indonesian style fried rice, vegetables and chicken), watermelon juice and Balinese black coffee.
Thetraveljunkie.org – One of the most enjoyable things in Gili Trawangan was the sun setting. Every day we watched it from a different spot taking pictures and seeking the best light of the whole island. This snaps were at Gili sunset beach and the Gili Trawangan hill, a hill to the west and one of our favs. Truth is, my holidays was totally improvised and last minute I realized I was missing a very important piece: swimsuit!
Thetraveljunkie.org – You may already had a peek at some of my favorite moments of my recent Gili Trawangan trip. Now it is time to share details of my hotel stay at Pearl of Trawangan.
Exciting beach huts of boyhood fantasies.
A romantic hideaway with undisturbed spectacular views on pristine azure waters, the neighbouring islands and the mountain range of Lombok’s majestic volcano, Mount Rinjani.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Today we bring you the photos which we took on the speed boat from Padang Bai to Gili Meno and landed at Gili Trawangan, one of the places that we were dying to see in Lombok.
We spent the first part of the journey having fun on the speed boat and riding a cidomo to our resort. Walking between the travel junkies, cafes, blue sky, and crystal clear water.
Thetraveljunkie.org – When the Primebiz Kuta invited us to spend some days in one of their suites we did not think about it twice. The other night at 9.15pm, I enjoyed some dinner with some of the best warm hospitality of this summer, it is the best option to eat something local and famous. They are the perfect summer choice.
I had Nasi Goreng special and Cafe Nutty. It was fantastic and perfect! We hope this was many delicious dinners this summer!
Thetraveljunkie.org – Hello everyone! After a one and half hour drive from the Primebiz Kuta, we landed in Virgin Beach. The expats had called it White Sand Beach, rather than Virgin Beach, though its Balinese name is Pasir Putih. I had a lot of good memories here.
Today we show you Virgin Beach pics. We were so lucky with the weather. It was just spectacular! The sand was still beautiful… fine, soft, smooth and squeaky clean. It’s got the best beaches of the east of Bali, some areas of crystal clear water -cool for snorkel!- and amazingly it’s not too crowded.
Thetraveljunkie.org – During our stay at Kuta Bali we stayed at Primebiz Kuta. One of the reasons we chose the Primebiz Kuta was its location, 5 minutes from the international airport, ideal for both having days exploring the island and getting lost between the lost paradises of the keys.
If Sydney is the city that never sleeps, I could say that Bali is the island that never bores. Truth be told, our Bali trip has been very special, and a lot of it has to do with renting a car. We started our trip in Bali heading to Tenganan Village, the eastern spot in Bali.
Thetraveljunkie.org – This week we hosted our Breakfast at Primebiz Kuta inspired by my lovely friends. We spent a great time and enjoying fantastic food and cool drink. And you know what? I love the chicken porridge here!
Thetraveljunkie.org – Back in love Bali. To mark the occasion, I wanted to have an Indonesian dining experience… somewhere really special.
I chose Kopi Bali House at Primebiz Kuta, because I had heard so many positive (from Pak Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Bu Ani Yudhoyono) things about their dinner menu.
I was soooo excited!
Thetraveljunkie.org – Returning to Bali was pretty special – but I have to say, the Primebiz Kuta was unforgettable. Primebiz Kuta was the 1st Primebiz hotel to be launched in Indonesia.
Conveniently located just 5 minutes from the Ngurah Rai International Airport and situated on Jalan Raya Kuta within close proximity to a myriad of restaurants and souvenir shops.
Thetraveljunkie.org – Worth waking up early for this wonderful Borobudur sunrise scene. Borobudur temple in central Java is the largest Buddhist structure on earth. It consists of six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, decorated with relief panels and hundreds of Buddha stupas.
The morning sun washing over the monument gives it an ethereal glow, surrounded by the slowly lifting mist of the surrounding forest, and truly makes Borobudur feel like a sanctuary.
