Introducing an incredible, budget-friendly villa we stayed at in Ubud, Bali that was an absolute win!🌿

We originally booked:
📍Oka Suites Ubud

However, upon arrival, we were directed to an affiliated hotel, and the place we actually stayed at was:
📍Elena Resort Ubud

And this place was a total jackpot...!😭💕

Believe it or not!! For only around ¥3,000 per person, you get:
✔ A private pool
✔ Breakfast included
✔ A spacious room
✔ Warm hospitality
The quality was far beyond our expectations!✨

The staff were incredibly kind and friendly. They checked in on us frequently during our stay, and being able to relax with peace of mind was a huge plus!☺️

For breakfast, you can choose to dine either at the restaurant or in your room. Enjoying a delicious meal surrounded by the great outdoors made for such an elegant experience.🌿✨

"I want to stay in a beautiful villa without breaking the bank." This is the place that will make that wish come true!🧙

· --------------------------------------
📍Ellena Resort
Address: Gg. Banjar, Sebatu, Kec. Tegallalang,    
   Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali 
· --------------------------------------  

(Note: If you search on Trip.com, "The Arena Resort" might pop up, but it's a completely different hotel from the one I'm sharing here!💦)

A wonderful summer vacation during the peak season in Bali!😍
So, at the end of May, we flew to the Island of the Gods:

✈️ Flight: Qatar Airways 
18-hour journey with a layover in Doha
Excellent airline, a brand-new plane from Moscow to Doha, and comfortable flights
💰 Round-trip tickets cost 130,000 rubles for two 

💸 Tickets for Chinese airlines are cheaper—with a layover in Shanghai, it's 55,000 rubles per person

🏝️ Hotel Sofitel Nusa Dua Bali
Nice and comfortable rooms (we got an upgrade to a partial ocean view. Room on the 3rd floor)
Includes 2 breakfasts
💰 120,000 rubles for 7 nights (booked well in advance for May 2026)

🚘 Airport transfer: 500 rubles—booked right here on Trip
Great driver and car
The ride only took 20–30 minutes thanks to the tollway to Nusa Dua

🍹 The hotel features a fantastic system of several interconnected pools
Warm water
Great service 
Swim-up bar and another one nearby in the shade

🏖️ Private beach, beautiful ocean, and gorgeous sunsets
The tides are very strong on this side of the island, so you only get about 3–4 hours a day for swimming

🌸 Walking paths along the entire coastline lined with cafes and restaurants

💎 All the hotels along this coast are 4 and 5 stars, offering a laid-back and unhurried vibe
Whether you want to jog or walk in the cool morning air or later in the evening, there are plenty of paved paths with very few people around. It's super convenient for running or pushing a baby stroller

🚲 Bike rentals at the hotel 
50,000 IDR (about 250 rubles) for two hours

 🧘🏻‍♀️ Morning yoga (extra charge)

🥥 Excellent breakfast and service—they'll bring your custom eggs and drinks right to your table, so you don't have to wait in line 

🐿️ Squirrels are a nice bonus! :) You can feed them seeds and nuts—they take the food right out of your hands, such a fun activity

This trip was exactly what we needed! A perfect reset and wellness retreat 🌸

If you're taking your kids to Bali, Nusa Penida is an absolute must-visit! Although the infrastructure is basic, the scenery is absolutely stunning. Plan a two-day, one-night trip so you don't have to rush and can easily enjoy it with your kids.
🗺️ Two-Day, One-Night Family Itinerary
Day 1: Take a boat from Bali to Nusa Penida. After checking into your hotel, head to Diamond Beach in the afternoon. The morning light is perfect, with fewer crowds, making for incredibly beautiful photos. The water at Diamond Beach is like jelly. Let the kids play in the sand, wade in the water, and enjoy the sunny beach.
Day 2: In the morning, visit Kelingking Cliff. Slowly walk down the steps and take photos with your kids at the viewpoint, no need to go all the way down to the beach to avoid getting too tired. Then, visit Angel's Billabong and Broken Beach to marvel at nature's craftsmanship. In the afternoon, take a boat back to Bali.
🏨 Accommodation Recommendation: Semabu Hills Hotel. The hotel is large, with spacious rooms and a children's play area. The food is affordable and delicious; both pizza and pasta are perfect for kids. The hotel's infinity pool offers sea views, and kids can play in the pool for most of the day.
💡 Tips for Traveling with Kids: The roads on Nusa Penida are very bumpy, so prepare motion sickness medicine for your kids. Bring some snacks and water, as dining options on the island are limited. Don't wander outside after dark; accommodations are mostly in the hills, and it gets completely dark once the sun sets.

Accommodation
🏨Bali - Seminyak
A high-end hotel in the core area of Seminyak, Bali, with a super large kids' club and pool, offering thoughtful family services.
🏨Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali
A beachfront hotel in Nusa Dua with fine private sands, perfect for kids to play in.
🏨Penida Cliff Hotel
A high-end cliff hotel on Nusa Penida, with an infinity pool directly facing the sea and breathtaking views.
🏨Forest Villa, Bali
A standalone villa in the Ubud forest, offering a tranquil environment and rice paddy views, suitable for family vacations.

Pantai Tanah Barak near Pandawa Beach 

You can always book a standard tour for South Bali,
but if you prefer a more relaxed vibe + the freedom to explore at your own pace,
booking a private taxi is the way to go 🚕
(I paid for this out of my own pocket, check the link in my profile for taxi details!)

With a private taxi tour, you simply let your driver know where you want to go
and they'll map out the best route for you!
Rates vary depending on how long you book (e.g., 6 hours / 10 hours),
but I booked a 10-hour trip and ended up heading home after just 7 hours .. 🌝
(So much to see, but went home early due to low energy... major regrets ..)

To anyone planning a trip to Bali! 
Please make sure to add the South to your itinerary ✨ Personally, I thought South Bali was the absolute prettiest!

➖
📍Pantai Tanah Barak
▫️I highly recommend taking the shuttle bus from a spot called 'Locket Ticket Shuttle Bus'! It's 30,000 IDR per person, and a drink is included! It's a steep uphill walk under the scorching sun, so take the shuttle and enjoy the scenery!

🌅 Exclusive experiences:
☑️ 3-minute walk to a private black sand beach
☑️ Renting out Orange Beach for the most romantic sunset!
☑️ Woo Bar neon pool party is super exciting
☑️ STARFISH BLOO seaside restaurant check-in

💫 Heart-melting moments:
Lying by the pool listening to the sound of the waves 🌊
Traditional Balinese massage at AWAY Spa
Room smart system controls the entire villa with one touch (full tech vibes)

 I'm back again at Bali's Potato Head Village! 💕 This time, the rooftop suite is absolutely stunning! 🏡 The spiral staircase leading directly to the atrium garden is just so cool, every snap looks like an Instagram masterpiece! 📸 The rooftop is truly a vacation paradise on the island—with an unbeatable sea view sofa area 🍹 and a super luxurious open-air jacuzzi 🛁, totally in love!

✨Eco-friendly surprises:
I was hooked right at check-in! The hotel takes you on a tour of their eco-friendly shop and gifts you a beautiful eco bag plus two insulated cups made from recycled plastic and shells! 🌟 The entire hotel uses no plastic bottled water; bring your own cup for unlimited refills—eco-friendly and money-saving 💰 This move is just awesome!

🌱Eco-design masters:
This is not just any eco hotel!
· The building materials are all red earth, volcanic ash, and shells
· Decorations are made from recycled wine bottles
· Vacationing here means contributing to environmental protection—a niche and ultra-luxurious experience! 💚

🍸Happy Planet:
Highly recommend their cocktail mixing class (free!)
The schedule is super rich:
7:00 Beach yoga 🌅
14:00 Handicraft class ✂️
19:00 Cocktail party 🍹
New activities every month, so you can be a vacation scholar!

💡Tips:
· It’s best to book the water suite in advance
· Don’t forget your swimsuit and sunscreen
· Be sure to watch the sunset at the infinity pool in the evening

Lying on the rooftop, gazing at the blue sea and sky—this is the right way to enjoy a vacation! 🌊

This Chinese New Year was absolutely amazing! 🏝️ I had an unforgettable Chinese New Year at Villa Mulia in Nusa Dua 🏮

🌟 Reasons to Stay:

· A huge resort shared by three luxury hotels

· Seven stunning swimming pools to choose from 🏊

· Private white sand beach + unbeatable ocean views

· Truly the perfect holiday without ever leaving the hotel

💫 Chinese New Year Exclusive Experience: The traditional lion dance performance in the lobby on New Year's Eve was absolutely breathtaking! 🦁 A giant red lion tumbled and leaped in the luxurious lobby

The entire hotel was filled with the festive spirit of the New Year 🧧 Apparently, this special performance is only held during the Chinese New Year!

🍴 Food Recommendations: The traditional Chinese restaurant serving New Year's Eve dinner on the first day of the Lunar New Year was a must! The signature Chinese dishes were so authentic! May the new year bring prosperity and good fortune!

This hotel is definitely the pinnacle of island vacations. I'm definitely planning to come back for a second stay next Chinese New Year!
