Think Bali is beautiful? Just wait until you explore the islands around it. From dramatic cliffs to turquoise bays, the surrounding islands are just a short boat ride away—and they’re full of adventures.
Nusa Lembongan & Nusa Ceningan: These two tiny islands are connected by a yellow suspension bridge. Expect cliff jumps, mangroves, and hidden beach bars.
Nusa Penida: Home to the iconic Kelingking Beach and manta ray snorkels. Rugged, raw, and totally worth it.
Gili Islands: No motorbikes, no worries. Just snorkelling, yoga, and sunset cocktails.
Fast boats leave from Sanur, Padang Bai, or Amed daily. Once you're there, rent a scooter or simply walk and explore. Book your transport early during high season.
Lightweight, long-sleeve swimwear for sun protection
Reef shoes or sandals
Zinc-based sunscreen
A wide-brim hat or visor
Sarong (doubles as a towel or beach wrap)
Dry bag for valuables
Snorkel & mask (or rent locally)
Pack versatile pieces you can wear in the water and to lunch. Our swimsuits double as bodysuits or can be styled with sarongs or Sunday pants. The Mentawai is perfect for SUP or island strolls, while the Sulawesi provides extra coverage for those long boat trips or snorkelling days.
Bring a reusable bottle and say no to plastic straws
Choose reef-friendly sunscreen
Support local cafes and small shops
Be mindful of marine life—don’t touch the coral or turtles
Bali’s neighbouring islands are the cherry on top of your tropical escape. With a little planning and the right swimwear, you’ll be ready for anything from boat decks to beach clubs.

There’s something magical about summer in Bali. The sun is high, the ocean is warm, and every day feels like an invitation to strip off the layers and sink into your most free, radiant self. But let’s be real – finding a bikini that actually stays on while you move through waves, beach runs, and sunset swims? That’s not as easy as it should be.
She isn’t trying to be seen. She simply is. Salt still on her skin, hair wild from the wind, eyes lit with something ancient – something untamed. You know her. Maybe you are her. The woman who finds herself in the sea.
There are moments when everything feels too loud. When the noise of life drowns out your own voice, and all you want is space to breathe, to feel, to come back to yourself.
That’s when we go to the sea.
