I've gotten some requests from my friends to share a little more about the two places we stayed during the trip, thanks Lifestyle Retreats.
If you are a big fan of anything quirky, hipster looking, and drinks - Seminyak is the part of bali that you would want to be. If you want to be like "zen mode on" - you should just visit Sanur. And probably not want to come back to Singapore anymore!
Ize Seminyak - Is located in the heart of Seminyak where everything is within walking distance. Food, bars, hipster cafes, fashion boutiques, and ridiculously good looking travellers. It's really party at your doorstep when you stay at Ize!

| Taken along the street of Seminyak. The place is so hipster that they serve fuel in a cafe. Just kidding. |
 |
| Yeah, remember this picture? Yup, you know the drill. Ignore the girl and look at the place. HAHA. |
And if you are a big fan of architecture or Instagram like me, you will find that Ize is not just a nice place to stay location wise but also one that will help you get very nice shots.
And even if you got a bit tired from partying along Seminyak and just want to stay in, they have their very own bar/restaurant which offers a good mix of Balinese favourites and authentic European dishes.

The Samata - Away from all the happenings and busy streets. If you are looking for a "eat, pray, love" kind of experience, this is the place. It is one of those places that gives you the best view of nature.
Having an exciting and fast paced life for a city boy like me might be the kind of life I embrace but I guess we all need to switch off once in awhile and enjoy what mother nature has given us. The sun, the rice field, and the tranquility that is hard to find these days.
If you still want some sports action even while enjoying the tranquility, they also have tennis court, three swimming pools(Chill, Lap and Energy), cross-fit facilities, a professional boxing ring WTF and personal trainers.
I think The Samata is not only good for the whole "eat, pray, love" experience but also one of those place that is very good for team bonding trip. Instead of the typical Bintan resort and play treasure hunt or what not, I think Samata is one of those places that you just put a group of people there and they will actually spend time talking to each other and get to know each other better! Or even fall in love under the moonlight.
I secretly wish I was there with like Anne Hathaway or Emma Stone or Sarah Underwood or Anna Kendrick or.. okay, the list goes on.

| Of course, when I say nice view I mean me. And I am all natural. 100%. |
 |
| The view at night. One of those that you can be alone and think of your plan to take over the world. Or maybe what's for breakfast. |
 |
| They seriously have one of the best gym I've ever seen for any resort of hotels. A boxing ring. Seriously? |
