Tugu Lobby
As you may know, I regard Bali as my second home. I would like to let you know about two new Bali locations.
In January, I stayed at the beautiful Tugu Bali Hotel situated in Canggu, about a 15 min drive to Seminyak and the same to TanahLot.
It's about an hour of leisurely walking (along the beach) to the best shopping and restaurants in the world, yes, the world.

The Breeze
I ate at the Breeze, right on the waterfront and adjacent to LaLuciola. The most amazing dining experience.
Swim in their pool, lounge around in the garden area, and then a little stroll to KuDeTa for a cocktail and sunset — a beautiful afternoon.
I was also put onto the Arthouse in Ubud. Set in four acres of garden including a good-sized pool.
Both the Tugu and Arthouse are a mixture of luxury and traditional Bali. Both venues are for the art lover, laid back and "put your feet up kind of person".
The Tugu was an experience I just had to tell you about. In a few words –
- It's 16th century surrounds are just breathtaking
- Intimate dining rooms
- Antiquities
- The most incredible food
- Situated on about 6 to 8 acres.

Tugu Restaurant
In the 20s and 30s it was a retreat for some of Europe's most innovative Artists and Poets of the time. Some of the villas are still to this day as they were then. Just simply gets your soul.
If you can't get to one of these fabulous locations right now you can experience some part of the atmosphere at least which I have recreated in my Salon amid the bustle of South Yarra and Prahran. My motto is to give my clientele everything I expect to get myself — Have a beautiful day and I am looking forward to seeing you soon at Elliot Beautiful Hair.
