Beach of the Week 06.03.12

Dream Beach, BaliBEACH: Dream Beach

WHERE: Nusa Lembongan Island, Bali

WHY: Like Bali, but much less crowded. No cars, world-class sunsets and secret, secluded beaches. Plus, you can surf and snorkel ‘til your heart’s content

HOW: Get yourself to Sanur Beach on the east coast of Bali. From there, it’s a 30 min speedboat ride to the island of Nusa Lembongan.  A friendly local will take you straight to Dream Beach on their moped-taxi

H2O TONE: Sparkling blue crystal – with coral undertones

SAND TONE: Buttery shortbread

STAY: Dream Beach Huts. Cosy and cute grass-roofed huts made in the Balinese “Lumbung” style, situated right on the beach itself. Heaven

WHEN: It’s fabulously warm all year round due to the tropical climate, but if you want to catch Dream Beach at its best, July-September isn’t as muggy and has a refreshing, cool evening breeze
