In This Island Paradise
It was so amazing to spend a full month this year in beautiful Bali. I explored as much as I could, had so many fabulous experiences, and could not get enough of the hot island weather.
A lot of people wonder if they should go to Seminyak or Ubud, and of course my answer is: “always and, never or!” I thrived in the vivacious bustle of Seminyak’s elegant beach clubs and shopping districts, and I also enjoyed two full weeks basking in the peaceful vibes of Ubud. Wherever your next journey takes you, here are my top places to stay and go all over the island, in true Divine Living style.
