One of my favorite places in Bali when I want a break from the usual beach spots. I loved the cooler mountain air and the views around Mount Batur and Lake Batur. It's such a nice place to slow down, grab a coffee, and just enjoy the scenery. I recom...

Kintamani, Bali

If you're looking for a stay in Sumba that feels completely different from Bali, this is the one. NIHI is basically luxury in the middle of nowhere, beautiful villas, a wild beach, horseback riding and the famous Spa Safari

Nihi Sumba

This place honestly blew me away. Seeing Tumpak Sewu from above is already incredible, with the waterfall looking like a giant curtain surrounded by jungle. If you're up for the trek down, it's even more impressive from below, just be ready for a ste...

Tumpak Sewu Waterfall

Kawah Ijen was such a memorable experience for me. The hike in the early morning was definitely worth it once I reached the crater and saw that incredible turquoise lake surrounded by volcanic landscapes. It gets freezing up there, and the sulfur fum...

The trek is no joke, but the scenery makes it worth every step. Think misty mountains, a crystal-clear river and a peaceful camping spot far away from the crowds. Definitely one for the adventure list

Lembah Lohe / Lohe Valley

If you're planning a Bromo trip, this is a stay worth checking out. I love the cozy pavilion-style setup and the mountain surroundings, it feels much more atmospheric than a standard hotel. It's the kind of place I'd pick when I want the accommodatio...

Bawangan Hotel Bromo
