Bali. The island of the gods and home to our wildest Eat, Pray, Love fantasies. Good luck finding someone who doesn’t have a trip to Bali on their bucket list, and for those who have been, the experience is undeniably magical.
The serenity of Bali’s landscapes coupled with the island’s innate focus on spas and wellness, make it the perfect place to go when you want to recalibrate and just chill. That’s exactly what globetrotter Chidi did when her friends were too busy to join her on her recent travels to paradise.

From an epic night in a bubble to a glorious flower bath, Chidi’s solo adventure to Bali was the self-care moment of all our dreams. Here are a few tips on how to make it a reality.
01
Flower Power
Though there really is never a “bad” time to visit the Indonesian island of Bali (even their rainy season can be pleasant), the best times to go are April through June and September. Once you arrive, finding spots that offer memorable flower baths are easy and cheap. Go to Karsa Spa (pictured below) and enjoy a fragrant soak for as little as $9.
02
Bubble Envy
Bali is known for its affordable luxury, but did you know you can find unique accommodations there as well? A night under the stars in this clear bubble room cost around $100. Already been to Bali? You can experience bubble lodging around the world in Spain, Mauritius and Mexico.
03
Float On
If brunch wasn’t delivered poolside on a floating raft, did you even really go to Bali? While the upscale villas at Ayana Resort make floating brunch a chic, Instagram worthy moment, there are comparable contenders where you can enjoy an affordable meal on water. Head to Cabina Bali and live your best floating brunch life for as little as $16 per person.
04
Temple Empress
A temple crawl in Bali is a must. From Tirta Empul to Tanah Lot, there are countless temples to explore on the island. Check out sites like Viator to find a variety of interesting temple tours.
