4D3N Bali Trip: The St Regis Bali Resort, Nusa Dua
"Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon.
Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon.
Up and up, up and up."
Noona has just met her friend who just came back for her recent honeymoon. While honeymoon tend to be associated with "relax" and "romantic", Noona's friend seemed to have a unique-and-yet-taxing honeymoon experience with her newly-wed hubby. She and her hubby went to Bali for their honeymoon but they (or more like her hubby) chose the adventurous route for the honeymoon. For example, they embarked on an adventure to Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan which are considered to be quite tough and not for the faint hearted. And for sure not for the newly-wed couple unless that's how they prefer to get intimate during the honeymoon, by overcoming challenges together. Hahaha.
Anyway, if you are looking for a relaxing place to spend your honeymoon in Bali, you may opt to go for the relaxing part of Bali such as Nusa Dua area. Noona and her family had a chance to visit the St Regis Bali at Nusa Dua beach. The visit is actually suggested by Noona's cousin who is very curious on this resort.
The lobby at the St Regis Bali is so grand and you will be immediately greeted by the hotel staff upon arrival. That's when the problem arose though because actually none of us has made any reservation with the hotel and yet, we still insisted to come because our curiousity got the better of our healthy mind. So how to get out from this situation? It's time to put on your acting mask.
Omma immediately acted as someone who's about to marry off their daughter to some chaebol because there's no way poor people can afford to get married at the St Regis Bali. So Noona had to play around with her since she's the supposed-bride-to-be (despite her lack of real man at her side) so that the hotel staff is eager and even welcoming us to walk around the premise. My goodness, the decoration for a normal stairs can be so beautiful in the St Regis Bali.
The wedding chapel is located at the far back side of the hotel because it is facing the beach so we had to pass through the green green grass.
And here we are inside the chapel which can only cater to 30 people max. To be honest, the idea of getting married at the St Regis Bali does not seem to be a bad idea after all considering that Noona has been a pretty much anti-social human being for most of her life and hence, she does not have many friends to invite in the first place. LOL.
The view outside the wedding chapel is breathtaking. The empty space will be decorated with table and chairs as this is where the wedding banquet will be held for the invited guests. The number of people you can invite for the banquet is limited to 60 people though. Hahaha.
The lights will be turned on at night and the whole place will be romantically lit. Awww. Can totally imagine that. But still cannot imagine who will be the man on the altar until now. Wait, isn't that the most important thing to obtain before all these details? Life's tough.
Just beside the chapel, there are some villas and a swimming pool. The swimming pool looks so nice and so relaxing, Noona seriously feels like putting on her swimsuit and just jump into the pool since the weather is so hot.
Right opposite the swimming pool is where you can laze to your heart's content while facing the therapeutic blue ocean of Bali. Perfect for a couple who just want to snuggle with each other, no?
Nusa Dua Beach has white sandy beach with smooth sand. While the location is pretty far from the bustling city center like Kuta and Seminyak, it is a perfect getaway spot to run away from crazy and busy reality.
