Waka Gangga Resort & Spa in Bali, Indonesia
Not too long ago I asked about when to visit Boracay and received a number of comments highly recommending Boracy as a vacation destination. I know Bali isn't Boracay, but it's another famous place for beaches and resorst in southeast Asia... And there's a good chance I'll be going this winter for a friend's wedding so I decided to do a little research. I found some resorts around Bali that seem interesting.
One is the Waka Gangga Resort & Spa. The Waka Ganga is one of several Waka resorts including the WakaMaya, WakaNusa, Waka di Ume, WakaShorea, and WakaNamya (formerly WakaPadma).
The resort, in Sudimara Village Tabanan about one our drive from Bali International Airport, has an excellent sunset and great view of the Indian Ocean. This is from the resort's web page: "The ten bungalows of WakaGangga perch on gently sloping rice terraces which fringe a sparkling black sand beach on the edge of the Indian Ocean." Apparently you can take horse rides on the beach (I'd rather walk) and visit a famous temple nearby, the Tanah Lot temple.
I'm not sure how much time I'll have to explore after the wedding and I'm not sure if I'll be in the mood for a resort in Bali or something a little more adventurous like a trip through East Java Indonesia.
