Bali is filled with sweltering heat and vibrant noise. A perfect meal in a space so beautiful it makes you briefly forget this intense energy often becomes a journey in itself. Going beyond just filling the stomach, I introduce three of the most noteworthy places in Bali right now, where you can become completely intoxicated by the atmosphere the space provides.
1. The Sea, The Sunset, a Hideout for Free Spirits: La Brisa
Located on Echo Beach in the Canggu area, La Brisa is not just a beach club, but a space like a giant work of art. The building, constructed from reclaimed wood of old fishing boats, along with the nets draped throughout and the vintage decor harmonizing with palm trees, creates a mystical illusion of having entered a well-crafted pirate's hideaway.
Lie down on a plush beanbag, sip a cool coconut juice, and watch the countless surfers ride the waves. And then, finally, face the moment of the breathtaking sunset that paints the entire world red. Here, you can feel the romance of free spirits floating in the very air.
2. In the Jungle, a Gastronomic Feast That Transcends Time: Apéritif
How about a culinary journey to the glamour of the 1920s, transcending time in the lush jungles of Ubud? Apéritif is a place where you can experience top-tier fine dining amidst elegant colonial-style architecture and luxurious interiors. It offers a complete experience that goes beyond food to savor the space, the service, and the entire atmosphere.
The time spent tasting an artistically crafted course meal while gazing at the serene jungle valley unfolding outside the large windows is truly special. When you wish to escape the heat of Bali for a moment and spend an evening filled with sophisticated and elegant inspiration, Apéritif will be the most perfect choice.
3. The Border Between Reality and Unreality, an Artistic Space: Penny Lane
Penny Lane, is a unique and artistic space that seems to stand on the border between the real and the surreal. The high ceilings, massive portraits, and an eclectic mix of exotic plants and props create a dreamlike atmosphere, as if you've walked onto the set of a fantasy film.
Every table, every corner is a perfect photo zone in itself. Here, you can gain artistic inspiration along with delicious food. We recommend indulging in their sensational brunch menu and signature cocktails, surrendering yourself for a moment to the venue's otherworldly ambiance.
A meal in Bali is, perhaps, not merely the act of eating, but the experience of fully possessing the time and atmosphere of that space.
On this Bali trip, I hope you will collect unforgettable 'moments' in these special places that will make your journey deeper and richer.
