It was my first time in Bali, and I loved it so much that we booked another trip to Bali in December <i>seconds <\/i>after we touched down in Singapore. Okay, this is exaggerating a little,&nbsp; but we probably booked our next flights to Bali at the next airfare promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bali is one of the top destinations in Asia for travelers seeking a wellness retreat or a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The island, larger than the size of Singapore, is known for its beautiful forested mountains, stretches of rice paddy fields, and white sandy beaches lined with clear blue waters. It is also increasingly popular as a yoga and meditation retreat destination in recent years due to the movie Eat, Pray, Love. I fell in love with Bali as it is a really beautiful place full of rich Balinese culture, great food, stunning nature, and most importantly, everything seems to run at its own pace in isolation to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without further ado, here is our Bali Wellness Travel Guide 2015!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>BALI FOOD AND DRINKS<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>EARTH CAF\u00c9 (SEMINYAK)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Earth-Cafe-Dragon-Bowl1.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Earth-Cafe-Dragon-Bowl\" class=\"wp-image-1353 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Earth-Cafe-Dragon-Bowl1.jpg\" alt=\"Earth-Cafe-Dragon-Bowl\" class=\"wp-image-1353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Earth-Cafe-Dragon-Bowl1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Earth-Cafe-Dragon-Bowl1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/Earth-Cafe-Dragon-Bowl1-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earth Caf\u00e9 is located along one of the streets leading to the popular Seminyak Square.

The place was packed when Alison and I dropped by for lunch, and we shared a Dragon Bowl as we had a really late breakfast prior. The Dragon Bowl was awesome! The portion was huge, and filled with many different ingredients, which meant that each bite was perfectly textured with crisp leafy greens, smooth avocado, chewy tempeh, and some crunch from the cashews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jalan Laksamana<br>No. 99, Seminyak, Kuta<br>Bali 80361, Indonesia<br>+62 361 736645<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>REVOLVER ESPRESSO<\/b> <b>(SEMINYAK)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Revolver-Coffee-storefront.jpeg\" data-id=\"20819\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Storefront of a coffeehouse with tables and chairs\" class=\"wp-image-20819 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"20819\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Revolver-Coffee-storefront.jpeg\" alt=\"Storefront of a coffeehouse with tables and chairs\" class=\"wp-image-20819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Revolver-Coffee-storefront.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Revolver-Coffee-storefront-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Coffee-and-chocolate-tart.jpeg\" data-id=\"20818\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"Flatlay of 2 types of coffee and a chocolate tart\" class=\"wp-image-20818 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" data-id=\"20818\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Coffee-and-chocolate-tart.jpeg\" alt=\"Flatlay of 2 types of coffee and a chocolate tart\" class=\"wp-image-20818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Coffee-and-chocolate-tart.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.sofia.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Coffee-and-chocolate-tart-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Revolver Espresso has two branches in Seminyak &#8211; a full service caf\u00e9 along Jalan Kayu Aya and a smaller outfit (&#8216;Baby Revolver&#8217;) along Jalan Petitenget.

We had a chocolate tart with coconut crust and a frozen mixed berry bowl on two separate dinings, and I have to say that the smoothies and the avocado on toast look incredibly delish.

But this one \u2026 would definitely return for a visit when I come to Bali again in December! We had the 60 minutes full body massage, which was the only treatment left available as everything else was booked full. The rooms are rather simple and no-frills, but comfortable. It could be rattan mats in the middle of the desert for all it matters, but the therapist was \u2026 good. Very very very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jalan Kayu Jati<br>No 2, Petitenget,<br>Bali 80361, Indonesia.<br>+62 (0)361 733317, 735058<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>THE YOGA BARN (UBUD)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most highly reviewed yoga studios in Bali, set amongst terraced rice paddies, idyllic gardens and Ganesha statues. The Yoga Barn has an extensive class schedule packed from 7.00 a.m. to 8.30 p.m, which means that there is always a class for you any time of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The place also hosts residential and non-residential detox retreats, workshops, as well as a vegetarian vegan caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1 Yoga Barn,<br>Jalan Raya Pengosekan,<br>Ubud,&nbsp; Bali 80571, Indonesia<br>+62 361 971236 \/ +62 361 971407<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>BALI SPORTS AND ACTIVITIES<\/b><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>DAILY GYM (SEMINYAK)<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daily Gym is an open-air gym located near W Hotel along Jalan Petitenget, where we stayed. It spans the second and third floor of the building and is adequately furnished with everything you need for an effective workout at 50,000 IRP for a daily pass (unlimited hours). The gym also has a boxing ring and holds Muay Thai classes every morning from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Alison and I were flying off that afternoon, and couldn&#8217;t fit in a two-hour long class, so we had a quick workout session at the gym instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonetheless, Daily Gym is one of the best places in Bali for MMA, Muay Thai and Boxing, and a good option if your hotel or resort does not have an in-house exercise facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jalan Petitenget,<br>No.72, Kuta Utara,<br>Bali 80361, Indonesia<br>+62 361

The trail starts off next to an old temple and the first few kilometers had great views as it parallels two different views of Bali &#8211; luxury resorts on the left and forested greenery on the right. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the top and we stopped at Karsa Caf\u00e9 for coconut water and great views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Look out for Ibah Hotel on the main road and go down the path on the left towards the school.
