My friend Sarah and I had spent a couple of days at the beautiful Astagina resort. This little piece of land made us feel welcome and isolated from the busy Legian streets. Making it a very good option for relaxing, yet scoring some productive moments at the same time.

Astagina Resort is located right next to Double Six beach – only about a 2-minute walk. As we arrived at Astagina we were greeted by wonderful staff and a glass of iced tea. The check-in was a breeze and we were escorted to our room. Once we were settled in we decided to take a look around and hang out by the pool. We were not disappointed as there were two pools, two restaurants, and a beautiful garden to do yoga in. We ended up spending most of our time by the pool in the cabanas. It worked really good for me since I did a lot of editing/posting/teaching and planning during my stay. Which is essentially just heaps of computer work. Check out what I do, HERE.

And those cabanas had the plugs to charge my laptop. AMEN.

Astagina’s cabanas were a great set up, slightly overhanging the pool with a bar off the right-hand side which you could swim to.

The entire resort of Astagina had a great laid back vibe and the staff was absolutely wonderful.

A full buffet breakfast was waiting for us, every day after 7. Great choices and a big variety of vegan-friendly options as well, which I loved. Whether you’d prefer something western or explore cultures by choosing Indonesia, Chinese or Thain – Astagina has it provided.

And yes – I bring my Hydroflask everywhere. Minimizing the plastic bottle use in Bali is a big mission and starts with us! Simply, but using our own reusable bottles and bringing them everywhere we go. It is completely up to us, when we start the revolution against single-use plastic!
