Long weekends. Yup! Who doesn't love Long weekend right? It was the best time to plan for a trip out of the country to relax, go for a swim, eat out of the country and get awesome spa as well as massage. I love going to Indonesia. It is where I go shopping, and when I meant shopping, it's only for very specific things. I love Indonesia for nice Batik clothes. I love their beautiful decorative pieces, wooden masks as souvenirs. Most of all, I love Indonesia cause I go there to buy my Spa, Scrub and Massage needs. My Husband didn't understand in the past how my addiction for massage and spa has grown over time, until he himself experienced massage in different countries, different traditional massages of each own. Eventually he got addicted to massage, relaxation and spa himself. We picked a simple resort and that weekend we chose to go Batam Island. We traveled from Singapore to Batam, thru HarbourFront Ferries, accessible they . We chose BatamFast Ferries and took the boat towards Sekupang. You will go thru Singapore immigration to Exit out of the country, then when you arrive at the Sekupang station, you will then go thru Indonesian Immigration. Philippine Passport holders do not require a visa. For Americans, they had to pay 20USD at the time of that trip, yet the last few times we went back, he did not have to pay any Visa fees any longer. Picked KTM resort thru Booking.com, I chose that because it is quite secluded and not very near the city, which was the actual point of being in a serene location. The room was cozy and comfortable, it has an awesome view of the swimming pool and the ocean. It was cool especially at night. The resort has a nice restaurant you can relax and chill. Our favourite part of the trip was the water sports they offer. We did Water Skiing too. They had a whole lot of options you can do. The Spa and Massage center offers quite a lot of services and definitely a lot cheaper prices compared to Singapore. Massage is a primary commodity when traveling, there is no way you should skip that part as it is a way to a healthier self. It was a great quick trip out of the busy day to day life. If you want to go for a trip for a few days outside of Singapore to enjoy a peaceful, serene vacation, you can pick this resort. It is easy to travel from Singapore and it is easily accessible from the Ferry Station. If you would like help to book, let me know, I could help book it for you. If not, you can also book thru Booking.com, do sign up for an account.
So what are you waiting for? Start planning and working on your next trip! Enjoy! |
