Stay out of Potato Head Beach Club!!!

On my second day in Bali I decided not to book any tour but instead I slept the entire morning to recharge and take a breather. It felt like my body was clamouring for rest and good sleep. #downtime When I woke up it was already lunch time so I went out to eat  and then headed out to the beach.

Kuta Beach

This is one of the busiest beach in Bali. It has a long stretch of grey sand that connects to Legian and Seminyak, the two other towns in Bali. You can rent a board and surf or get a henna tattoo or just simply soak under the Bali sun. There are pop up stores that sells refreshments with their own sun beds. 

Surprised to see that they also have Kalesa. 

I tried walking my way to Seminyak through the beach but it was just too far and the heat was excrutiating so I hailed a Bluebird taxi instead. 

What to do in Seminyak?

Seminyak is located at the north side of the beach. Its the same color of sand but it is sorrounded with high end resorts. Most of the tourists hang out at Potato Beach Club and Ku De Ta Resort. There are also local botiques and pop up stores in case you need an extra swimsuit. 

Potato Beach Head

Coming to Bali, I've been looking forward to visit this resort because of the hype its getting over the internet. I needed to see the sunset from their infinity pool and experience the cool vibe the resort gives. They don't have an entrance fee but their drinks and food are a bit pricey. Food, Service and Security is very good though. You can leave your stuff and not worry. Waiters are always at your service. They provide towels with no fee in case you want to swim in the pool as long as you order from their restaurant. Their sunbeds are always full and its on first come first serve basis. Don't bring food and drinks because they'll confiscate it upon entering the premise.

Pool bar. 

Infinity pool. It was gloomy that afternon so I was worried the sun might not show up but the sky cleared later on and voila.

Sunset!! #thiswhatyoucamefor

Pool is lit! The wind was giving me shivers but the pool was heated so I was alright. 

I definitely enjoyed my whole afternoon in Potato Head. Hanging out by the pool with my Bintang, looking at the sunset, chatting with other tourist and exchanging stories. I did regret not seeing the North side of Bali though but I would regret it more if I didn't experience Potato Head. 

W Retreat and Spa

This is located right next to Potato Head so I had to see this hotel and check out their tiered pools looking out to the beach. Their is no fee to go inside and use their pool but you need to purchase food and drinks. The hotel is stylishly huge and has some really nice day beds. Staying true to its brand as an international chain of hotels. 

I just adore their pool.

Read from somewhere that this place is fun bit I guess todays is different.

I want to take one home. 😂

Unlike Kuta, beaches in Seminyak are less crowded and free from clutter mainly because the private hotels run them.
