I still get that same feeling stepping off the plane\u2014warm air, that slightly chaotic energy, and the quiet excitement of knowing something special is about to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people hear \u201cIndonesia\u201d and immediately think of Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here\u2019s the thing\u2014this country has <strong>over 17,000 islands<\/strong>. And every time I come back, I make it a point to experience something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I never just \u201cdo Bali\u201d. I combine it with at least one other island. And after five trips, I can tell you: that\u2019s exactly how you should do it too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bali\u2026 but done right<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s not romanticize it too much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bali can be overwhelming:<br>traffic, crowds, influencers posing at sunrise, and yes\u2014plenty of drunk tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you go in blind, you might leave disappointed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if you know <em>where<\/em> to go?<br>It becomes something completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quiet jungle mornings.<br>Small boutique hotels surrounded by rice fields.<br>People who welcome you like you\u2019ve been there before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On my last trip alone, I visited 19 hotels\u2014none of them big chains. Everything was carefully selected with locals. Places that feel personal, not mass-produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s really the key: <strong>Indonesia is all about access<\/strong>. The right places, the right people, the right timing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A detour to Komodo &amp; Flores \ud83d\udc09<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time, I added something new: Flores and Komodo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sounds far\u2014but it\u2019s actually only about a <strong>1 to 1.5 hour flight from Bali<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, everything slows down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We boarded a small boat for a <strong>2-day, 1-night trip<\/strong>, and it quickly turned into one of those experiences you don\u2019t really forget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swimming with manta rays.<br>Spotting a whale shark (completely unexpected).<br>And standing just a few meters away from a Komodo dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s wild\u2014but in the best way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, I needed a few days to just\u2026 breathe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I stayed at a small island resort\u2014Sudamala Seraya. No noise, no rush, just calm water, incredible staff, and that rare feeling of being completely switched off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They even kept our luggage while we were on the boat\u2014one of those small details that makes everything easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/tailormade-trips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/overwater-villas-turquoise-lagoon-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"Traditional overwater bungalows with thatched roofs beside a lush tropical island, surrounded by clear turquoise water and coral reef.\" class=\"wp-image-1115\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tailormade-trips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/overwater-villas-turquoise-lagoon-980x735.webp 980w, https:\/\/tailormade-trips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/overwater-villas-turquoise-lagoon-480x360.webp 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>30 days, 24 hotels\u2026 and still not enough<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On my next trip, my partner and I spent a full month in Indonesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We visited 24 hotels, explored Lombok, and even went all the way to Raja Ampat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raja Ampat is one of those places people dream about\u2014and yes, it\u2019s as beautiful as you imagine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I\u2019ll be honest with you:<br>it\u2019s a long journey (around 4 more flight hours from Bali), and it only really makes sense if you\u2019re into diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If not, there are easier\u2014and equally beautiful\u2014options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s exactly what I help my clients figure out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The kind of Bali I recommend<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We started in Seminyak, at The Oberoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s one of those places I always come back to. Close enough to everything\u2014but once you\u2019re inside, it feels calm, almost like a little oasis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perfect after a long flight. Or before heading home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, we went to Ubud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is where Bali really shows its magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stayed at the Viceroy, in a villa with a private pool overlooking the jungle. One of those views you don\u2019t get tired of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But what surprised me most was a newer place\u2014Sanna Resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You take this almost surreal lift, designed like a bird\u2019s nest, down into the valley. The spa is set in bamboo structures, surrounded by nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the kind of place where you immediately slow down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(I actually booked my first honeymoon couple there this year\u2014and I already know they\u2019ll love it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A quick stop in Sanur<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before heading off to the smaller islands, we stayed one night in Sanur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most people skip it\u2014but I actually really like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s calmer, less hectic, and right by the ferry port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the morning, we walked along the coastal path\u2014no scooters, no noise, just the ocean and a quiet sunrise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very different side of Bali.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Island hopping (and one mistake you don\u2019t want to make)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, we took a speedboat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Quick tip\u2014because this catches people off guard:<br>you <em>must<\/em> pick up your physical ticket at the boat office before going to the port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don\u2019t know that, you can actually miss your boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(And yes\u2014this is exactly the kind of thing I handle for my clients.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 30\u201340 minutes later, we arrived in Nusa Lembongan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s small, relaxed, and perfect if you want to escape Bali for a bit. You can even do it as a day trip\u2014but staying overnight makes a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, we continued to Nusa Penida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I\u2019ll be honest again\u2014it\u2019s stunning, but also <em>very<\/em> busy in certain spots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you go, timing is everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stay overnight, leave early, go with a guide\u2014and suddenly you see a completely different side of the island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Gili Islands \u2013 not all the same<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of people think the Gili Islands are one destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They\u2019re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each island has a completely different vibe\u2014from honeymoon luxury to party energy to total quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the wrong one can completely change your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choosing the right one?<br>That\u2019s where the magic happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lombok \u2013 Bali, years ago<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lombok felt like stepping back in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less developed. More raw. Fewer people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In some places, you\u2019ll still notice that it\u2019s developing\u2014but that\u2019s also part of its charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stayed at The Oberoi in the north\u2014quiet, surrounded by nature, and a perfect base to explore waterfalls like Sendang Gile and Tiu Kelep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want something more social, there are beautiful boutique resorts along the west coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It really depends on what kind of trip you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ending the trip the smart way<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of going back to Bali, we flew from Lombok to Singapore and spent a few nights there before heading home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small decision\u2014but it makes a big difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Less stress, better use of time, and a much smoother end to the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this is exactly how I plan trips: not just where you go\u2014but <em>how it all fits together<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A few things I always tell my clients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tipping isn\u2019t expected\u2014but always appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cash is still useful, especially for small purchases\u2014but most places accept cards now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be careful with money exchange places offering \u201ctoo good\u201d rates. I got scammed once years ago\u2014and I make sure none of my clients ever experience that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pre-book your transfers. It\u2019s easier, cheaper, and saves you stress when you land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And skip all-inclusive hotels.<br>Indonesia\u2019s food scene is way too good to miss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two more things that really matter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Respect the culture\u2014especially in temples. A sarong goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And plan around the seasons. Even in rainy season, you\u2019ll get sunshine\u2014but knowing when and where to go makes all the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why I do this<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don\u2019t just recommend Indonesia\u2014I know it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been there multiple times, visited over 40 hotels, worked with local partners, and seen both the beautiful and the chaotic sides of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that\u2019s exactly why my clients trust me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because I don\u2019t sell you a standard trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I help you experience the version of Indonesia that makes you fall in love with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re thinking about going\u2026 let\u2019s plan it properly \ud83c\udf0f\u2728<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My fifth time in Indonesia.
