10 Boutique Hotels and Guesthouses

Hey witches, did you miss me? I've been in Bali for a month -- being a tourist so that I could come home and write about it for you. ​
​​
​But in case you're new here...

Hi, Im Alexa West -- and I'm an expert in Bali Travel.

Where I Stayed in Bali

From $20 to $400/Night

​
​A hotel can make or break your trip. You need to make sure your hotel is in a walkable location, that it has good reviews, and that the pool actually gets sun (otherwise whats the point)?

But the real weight of a place? It’s in the things you can’t measure, the things that don’t fit neatly into a five-star review.
​
It’s in how a place smells in the morning, how the staff makes you feel after a long day, or the way the light hits your balcony just as you’re sipping a cold beer, lost in thought. A good stay doesn’t just offer you comfort—a good stay changes the tempo of your trip, and sometimes, it changes you.​
​
Here are some hotels that may change you, too.

​

Love Song Boutique Hotel in Canggu ​ Welcome to the (unofficial) official Solo Girl’s Clubhouse! From the moment I walked in, I had a “this is the place” moment. ​ Book It

Putra'Lebah Beachfront Guesthouse in Amed Want to experience the real Bali? Come to Amed. Soak in this bathtub with a view of the ocean. Book It

Samanvaya Resort Still in my Top 3 favorite resorts in the world, Samanvaya is luxury, nature and culture in harmony. ​ Book It

Oh and sorry I disappeared 🌴

My laptop totally died in Bali and I had to wait a whole month to get a new one.

So I unplugged...

​

Now Im back online and you'll be hearing from me more often.​
​

So here are some life updates from me:​
✧ I'm in Seattle...(even though on Instagram it looks like I'm still in Bali).
✧ True Crime Travelers is coming back in a couple weeks with a BIG announcement.
✧ My Bali itineraries will soon be available in my travel shop.

✧ I have 4 spots left for my Women's Digital Detox Trip this summer in Oregon

That's all for this week. Talk to you next week where I show you all the beauty and botox I got in Bali...
