Overseas tour Day 150 – Potato Head, Seminyak

Today was all about the beach club, the Potato Head beach club to be exact. The girls had heard about it on Tik Toc and were desperate to go. Fortunately for us, it’s only about a mile or so from our villa.

After a lazy morning for some (excludes Andy and his mad morning beach runs) we made our way to this haven of ‘cool-dom’ to experience a day lazying by the pool as the groovy tunes play and the kids (and a lot of older adults) eat and drink and take in the awesome views.

Arriving at the beach club entrance

This is no ordinary beach club, with a space age look and feel from the outside.

Once inside it has a laid back, Ibiza feel to it, but at the luxury end and with knock out service. An ever patient waiter keen to get you that next cocktail, beer or vino.

We arrived just as the sunshine came out from the clouds, so before consuming our first drink we were off to the infinity pool and bar to check out the views out over the beach and ocean.

Whilst there are references to Bali in the decoration of the beach club, it has a very definite European feel, with almost everyone there being from overseas notably Aussies, English, German along with Malaysians and Japanese.

Lounging was the order of the day and we duly followed suit and enjoyed people watching along with the odd Bintang.

Bintang for the lady

In contrast the girls were all about the cocktails and got straight to it.

The girls enjoyed themselves as they drank their fancy drinks and watched the Potato Head ‘show’ unfold.

After deciding that we would return another day for a proper session, we had a wander around the ‘complex’ which included more bars, restaurants, shops et al.

Not sure – design over substance?!

Another beach bar area to explore and another infinity pool to enjoy.

It was soon time for dinner so we headed to a local Indonesian restaurant we‘d be recommended called Biku which turned out to be a real find. Great food in a homely atmosphere and really friendly service – we will return.

Smoothy for the lady
Happy customer

The evening was a real success, however for some it was just beginning as we headed back to the villa, before Amelia and Meg got changed and headed out to a club to meet up with some friends of friends.

We said our goodbyes and waved the girls off before we settled in with a Netflix box set!
