Welcome back to Friday Faves!
In light of my recent holiday to Bali, this week's faves are all Bali based
Enjoy!
Potato Head Beach Resort
Located on Seminyak Beach, expect to pay Australian prices, but then agree that it's well worth it once you sample the hearty cocktail menu.
Chilled out tunes by a resident DJ, whilst holidayers float in the pool or at the swim up bar and watch the sunset. Couldn't go past a Pina Colada really...
Red Carpet Champagne Bar Fun
We walked past this place every night on our way back to the Villa, joking about how loud and busy the place was. So naturally we gave it a try. Best. Night. Ever
Broad range of champagne to choose from, and voted as "among the favourite drinking spots and social hangouts for expats and returning visitors to Bali".
Music requests can be submitted to the DJ, which they then play the film clips for on screens all around the bar. Sunday night music trivia turns into free shots as prizes. Yep, we went on a Sunday night!
Red Carpet Glam - Bali style (so a dress and thongs, winning!), screaming your lungs out to "Horses". Patriotism at its best. Again, Best. Night Ever

Motel Mexicola
Run by an aussie expat, this restaurant is on my visit list for every Bali trip.
Huge premises decorated in kitschy but cool Mexican style, with awesome food and live music. A few frozen margaritas later, and it won't matter that there's no dancefloor.
Favourite dishes amongst us were: De Pollo Chicken Quesadillas, Guacamole and Corn Chips, Slow roasted pork served with salsa de habanero. Did I mention the frozen margaritas?
Beach Walks
To escape the humidity, we headed off to the beach, to do a casual but productive beach walk from Seminyak to Legian. Bypassing all the shops and vendors from the street side, we walked barefoot through the water, bikini's on, and along the beach, checking out the resorts, holidayers, and locals playing on the sand. At our destination we stopped and had our rewards - a Bintang and a Coconut, because... when in Bali!
For something so leisurely, we woke up the next day with sore leg muscles. Great result!
Villa Life
Having only stayed in resorts when visiting Bali, we tried Villa accommodation this trip, as there were 6 of us girlfriends in total. This did not disappoint. No having to organise meeting areas, being poolside in your own private villa in the heart of Seminyak met all our needs. The beds were so huge, I was hardly aware of my bed buddy! Trips out on the street for meals and shopping, then back to the pool for sunbaking and swimming.
Cooking and cleaning performed at your request, music playing from a stereo, afternoon naps in your pool bean bag... Bliss!
