Kayumanis Ubud

Ubud is the cultural heart of Bali, our favourite Indonesian island, and any time is a good time to do a quick getaway. So pack your bags, book your flight and jet off to rejuvenation.

When Julia Roberts filmed ‘Eat Pray Love’, Ubud was where Elizabeth Gilbert (played by Julia Roberts herself) fell in love. And Ubud has since been on many’s travel lists. In a recent trip to Ubud, we spent quality time with each other, and treated ourselves to the true essence of Balinese’s hospitality.

Our humble abode was Kayumanis Ubud Private Villa & Spa, a luxurious property tucked away in the alleys of Sayan Village and overlooking the Ayung River Valley jungle. Of tranquility and serenity, private villas and an abundance of lush greenery, step into a sanctuary and let your butlers pamper you throughout your stay.

When we say ‘Esplanade’, do you only think of the festivals and concerts that take place all year round? Well, the performing arts centre that is nicknamed the “Durian” is home to more than just the artsy stuff, especially during Esplanade Mall’s annual weekday lunchtime promotional period!

From 12th May to 1st August 2014, cave in to a gastronomically delightful escapade and feast at Esplanade Mall with a party of friends with the 3-for-2 promotion (www.esplanade.com/3isnotacrowd). Yes, you’ve got that right. For every 3 main courses, you only pay for the price of 2. And to sweeten the deal, with every 3-for-2 receipt, you enjoy complimentary parking for 3 hours! Not only that, the first 20 to present their receipts will receive a $5 shopping voucher for use at Esplanade Mall retail stores. Two is company but three is definitely not a crowd!

Maybe you never knew, but Esplanade Mall is quite a food heaven in its own rights. There are cuisines of all kinds to pamper all palates and preferences. We can dine there twice a week and not repeat any of the dishes we had! Every restaurant has its selection of dishes, so we went on a food trail and curated our favourites from this promotion.

Here is a guide to Esplanade Mall’s 3-for-2 Weekday Lunch Promotion 2014, and some of our picks from the various outlets:

Nusa Dua Beach

Fancy restaurants, cool beach clubs, and chic lifestyle boutiques – that makes up Seminyak, perhaps one of the most popular destinations in Bali.
