Photos of my stay at the Legian Beach Hotel in their Grand Premier Pool Villa – an incredible tropical getaway. Here’s what stood out:

• 🏡 Private luxury – the villa comes with its own pool, spacious interiors, and a relaxing outdoor lounge area. Perfect for unwinding in total privacy.
• 🌺 Balinese charm – the decor beautifully blends traditional and modern elements, giving it a cozy yet luxurious feel.
• 🍹 Personalized service – the staff went above and beyond, ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect. Housekeeping, gardeners, pool cleaners, even someone to attend to the orchids in the room.
• 🌊 Prime location – just steps from the beach and close to great dining and shopping spots, but the villa within the resort was tucked away enough to feel serene.

A perfect mix of comfort, style and authentic Balinese hospitality. Highly recommend for a relaxing escape. ☀️

Andaz Bali, by Hyatt in Sanur. Following up the previous video with some photos of the room and resort.

One of the hotels I stayed at during my recent Bali trip was the by Hyatt in Sanur. Their Signature room was a true oasis in Bali. Here’s a look at what made it special:

• 🛏️ Stylish room design – the room had a spacious layout with local touches, and a calming vibe.
• 🍫 Replenished minibar - each day the non alcoholic beverages were replaced.
• ✨ Other room features - welcome fruit plate, Nespresso coffee machine, Tea Pot, 2 minibar fridges - one empty for your own items.
• 🧘 Relaxing amenities – beautiful pool areas, serene spa, and easy access to the beach for sunset walks.
• 🍜 Fabulous dining options – from traditional Balinese dishes to seafood, along with casual dining the restaurants here made every meal feel like an experience. The a la breakfast was a treat!
• 🌴 Lush surroundings – the grounds are filled with tropical greenery, creating a secluded, peaceful escape.

All in all, a wonderful mix of luxury and local charm at Andaz Bali. I’d have no hesitation in recommending this property!

Last week I was in Cairns for the TravelManagers annual conference and the theme this year was Working Smarter. The event kicked off with Christine Anu and a keynote by Chelsea Pottenger and closed with a Q&A with superstar Cathy Freeman OAM. In between, fabulous presentations by PTM’s, our NPO and our lovely industry suppliers. Finishing with a gala dinner to celebrate those who have excelled this past year. A fantastic few days of catching up, networking and lots of laughs. See you all in Bali 2025. 💛🧡💙💚

Does your Australian passport need to be renewed? This is reminder to check you passport expiration as most countries will required your passport to be valid for a minimum of 6months beyond your intended stay ✈️

On 1st July the cost of an Australian passport is going up by 15% and will see the coast at almost $400 for an adult. So if your passport has expired or if it needs renewing, now’s the time to act.

July also sees the start of a new fast-track system which will allow passport applications to be processed within five business days for a $100 fee. If you need a passport quickly but don’t want to pay the $252 urgent fee (for a passport issued in 2days), then this is perfect.

Are you dreaming of a Fiji family getaway? 🇫🇯 🌴 The lovely Wells family did exactly that! They had waited a very long time and finally had their Fijian holiday over Easter and also celebrated a milestone birthday.

Staying at the Radisson Blu Fiji Resort in a 2 Bedroom suite gave them the added space that they needed. You can tell by the photos and the kind review that they had a fabulous time and are already planning to return.

If a relaxing and fun Fiji holiday sounds just like what you are looking for, I’d love to hear from you!
