Vacation Outfit : Summer Floral & Karma Kandara Review





Thank you for the crazy couple, Rheza and Irene for taking this pictures. I love them to pieces!
So for the beach, I always think of anything floral and summer floral is the best kind of all. Bright and bold colors are the key. And to let the skirt shine, I brought three white tops, which will allow the skirt to be the center of attention. Denim tops also works surprisingly well! Here's an example..


white lace blouse - Stradivarius, denim top - thrifted, floral skirt - Bershka, sunnies - Zara,
 sandals - Marie Claire, bag - Carlo Rino

Now to the place where the pics above were taken..
The place is called Karma Kandara which is luxury private villas. But even if you don't rent any villa, you can still enjoy the breath-taking gorgeous beach. The beach is down below and to get down, you can either use stairs or the lift. The lift costs 250 thousand rupiah/person which is too pricey for us so we chose the stairs which are quite safe until a few steps to the beach.. Then it gets tricky and even life-threatening (but that's just me since I have an innate fear of the sea thanks to Jaws). But if you travel with boys all around you, it's perfectly safe. LOL. Thank you, boys!






The beach is absolutely clean and beautiful. You just can not go "ooohh" or in my case "wooow" when you finally reach the beach. And there is not many people around (I think it's because of the pricey lift!). There is a bar near the beach called Nammos Kandara. The place is very beachy with woods and bamboos all over. Quite cozy with the fluffy cushion on the chairs.The drinks start at 50 thousand rupiah. One of the boys talked to the manager and we got a deal to use the elevator for 50 thousand rupiah/person which we can use to buy drinks. And the drinks are tasty in my opinion. (Price starts at 50 thousand rupiah is quite standard for the bars in Bali)You might want to propose similar things since going up with stairs are tiring and time consuming! And we had a whole day ahead of us that day..

Karma Kandara also has di Mare restaurant which takes a fine-dining theme and Temple Lounge and BarKarma Kandara is a must visit especially if you love beaches. The waves were also really tame.. You can actually get in to the water and swim without fearing for your life. If you want to use the lift, bring at least 300 thousand rupiah. If not, I think 100 thousand is enough if you just want to enjoy the beach and a glass of your favorite cocktail to accompany you. Not recommended to eat since the food looks too pricey for us. If I'm not mistaken, fish and chips costs 100 thousand rupiah.. Before tax..

Until next post. Wishing everyone a lovely day :)
