PS: Not just another travel blog – this one's made from the inside

Hey, we are Maik & Sabrina: Soulmates on the move. We’ve been living in Bali for over a year now, not just passing through. And trust us, living in a place hits different than just visiting.

We’ve spent our days chasing waves, sipping countless coffees, lifting in sweaty gyms, and finding those “wait, why doesn’t anyone talk about this?” kind of spots.

So, we created this guide for you.
Whether it’s your first time here or your tenth, we wanted to give you something real — a no-fluff list of Bali’s best hotspots, from local hidden gems to viral must-visits.

All organized by area (Canggu, Seminyak, Uluwatu, Ubud) — and broken down by vibe: food, coffee, fitness, beach, beauty and everything in between.
And yes — we included the Google Maps + Insta links because we hate guessing.

Let’s get into it 🏝️

P.S. Don’t forget to follow our journey on IG, YouTube & TikTok  (Add the links babe please) if you want to get to know us more ( you will not regret 🙂 )
