Holidays these days feel like a long time coming. Sun on our skin (responsibly, of course) even longer, thanks our new friend La Niña. So when we got the call-up to take a crew to Bali’s Club Med, we couldn’t have said YES any faster.
Nestled on the beachfront sanctuary that is Nusa Dua, the days were warm and the drinks cool. The only catch - was that we had to (eventually) come home.
To continue to live the dream, here’s a little guide on how to live your best Resort Life. Feel free to take us with you.

EAT…
At Club Med’s Agung Main Restaurant: the buffet of our dreams, featuring EVERY cuisine. Think: a true around-the-world taste sensation. Our fave? The Indonesian station. (When in Rome…)
If restraint / buffet isn’t your style, The Deck offers an a la carte menu. A smaller, more intimate dining space, here you’ll find the freshest seafood, alongside local and international dishes.

Sundowners at the aptly-named Beach Bar.
PLAY…
There is no shortage of activities to work off those buffet feasts (note the plural). Think tennis, water aerobics, water sports, resort gym, yoga and hiit classes, this place has it all.
If sweating it out is not your style, there is a walking track in front of the resort which is an idyllic stroll along Nusa Dua beach, best to get in early for this pre midday heat .

The resort offers a wide range of tours, and we took them up on a six-hour one. We started off with a visit to the Monkey Forest, which is situated in lush Ubud, followed by a tour of Tanah Lot Temple. Post Temple, we found a bar to take in the sunset over the water before heading back to Club Med.
