bali’s little black book of romance
bali is the island of romance, of sumptuous tropical sunsets, breathtaking views, seductive suites and an innate radiance of love. let’s fall head over heels once again through the island’s best-kept secrets of every possible romantic location, hideaway and culinary gem, as well as personal love confessions
the “chemistry” drink
The Forbidden Iced Tea
Potato Head Beach Club
Jl. Petitenget, Seminyak, T: 0361 473 7979, www.ptthead.com
An intriguing, innocent white ceramic teapot with two small cups offers a potent liquid of heady alcohol blended with refreshing mint disguised in a brown-tea hue. Rather quaint, and perfect for not-so-ordinary love.
The Last Cocktail
Kul Kul Bar, The Laguna Resort & Spa BTDC, Nusa Dua,
T: 0361 771 327, luxurycollection.com
The Last Cocktail, the ultimate in sophisticated taste, with an infusion of rosemary and cloves in a chilled pear, and blended gin and prosecco, will whet your appetite before you feast on the delectable fresh seafood at Arwana next door.
Lychee Martini
Sarong Jl. Petitenget no. 19x, Kerobokan,
T: 0361 473 8202, sarongbali.com
Drunk at a long black bar that just oozes romance, the Lychee Martini is an innocent-looking, pure, chilled and sweet-tasting drink that packs a subtle punch and leaves you warm and cosy for persuasive late-night flirts.
Pino de Bali wine
Chez Gado Gado Jl. Camplung Tanduk (Dhyanapura) no. 99, Seminyak,
www.gadogadorestaurant.com
Bali’s own red wine by Hatten Wines works its magic in the hands of sommelier Filipe Godoy, who pairs it up with French blue cheese. Tastefully melting on the palate, the edgy combination is hard to forget, precisely as a first date should be.
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
La Lucciola Jl. Petitenget, Kerobokan,
T: 0361 473 0838
Unwind with a lovely lunch: a chilled bottle of Cloudy Bay from New Zealand served with fresh king prawns, while enjoying a long and lazy afternoon of gentle onshore breezes, the sound of the surf and the seduction of charming conversation.
I-Candy
Ice Bar, W Retreat & Spa Jl. Petitenget, Kerobokan,
T: 0361 473 8106, www.whotels.com
Before the golden eye of Seminyak’s sunset, have cool sips of this eye-catching cocktail together. You can each nibble at either side of the cotton candy ball on top of the drink and lock lips at the end.
