Channi’s Bachelorette Bash in Bali, Indonesia
Channi and her squad of besties flew to Bali for her bachelorette bash and came back charmed by the island's warm hospitality, rocking clubs and natural beauty.
A bachelorette party is one of the most exciting experiences for a bride and her gang of girlfriends. Finding a location to fit a specific mood that the squad wants is key to a memorable bachelorette bash experience. While some girls like to dance the night away before tying the knot, others like to luxuriate and bond in a serene destination with picturesque views. Channi and her squad got the best of both worlds in Bali.
The trip began with some wedding shopping in Singapore, and once that was out of the way, Channi and her friends took a short flight to Bali. Her friend Cheena shares, “We were keen on going to a place where we could relax and spend some ‘girly time’ together. Bali, with its pristine beaches, scenic beauty, and islands, made for the ideal spot. It also has many cool bars and clubs for nights when we felt like going out and partying.”
The girls explored local sights during the day and went clubbing in the evenings. “Park Regis Kuta was our base for the first two days, and we spent our time wandering through Kuta and the areas around it. We went to Ubud for its well-known Bali swing, a coffee plantation, and a pretty waterfall. Once the sun was down, we headed to Potato Head Beach Club Bali to enjoy the rocking club scene there,” adds Cheena.
Their next stop was Gili Trawangan where they savoured warm Balinese hospitality. “When we reached Gili Trawangan, the island was recovering from the damages caused by an earthquake. To add to it, the hotel we booked into had begun operations only two days before we arrived. Nonetheless, they were able to provide us with a complimentary cake. It was a small gesture, but it made us feel so welcome; more so because everyone on the island was going through a rough time yet they took the effort to make our stay memorable.”
Another thing that came as a surprise to the girls was the low occupancy at the property. “Since the hotel was so new, it turned out that we were the only guests staying at that time. Having the entire hotel to ourselves made us feel like we were in a home away from home, and we had more freedom to make the most of the property. We had wanted to give Channi a small surprise and out initial plan was to decorate a room for her, but since there was no one but us at the hotel, we decorated the European-style gazebo near to the pool. We had a few drinks and desserts and spent time making memories. That was a great day!”
“On the last day, we went to the Rock Bar which is at the Ayana Resort and Spa. This place offers the breathtaking sunset views, and for us, sitting together in this lounge and watching the sun meet the horizon was one of the most splendid sights we had ever seen. I wished we could have stopped time and lived in the beauty of the moment!.”
