We’ve Been Quietly Building Something Big (And Now It’s Time to Share It)
From Bali Brides to Bali Concierge Co to The Bali Pocketbook — discover the insider Bali travel guide built by locals with 15 years of experience. Just $12/year.
If you have been following along with Bali Brides for a while, you already know that Bali is more than a job for me. It is my home. My obsession. The place I have spent the last 15 years completely immersed in, through weddings, events, travel, and a whole lot of “you HAVE to go here” moments.
And lately? Things have been expanding.
First Came Bali Concierge Co
A little while ago, my friend and fellow Bali local Narelle from Global Weddings and I put our heads together and launched Bali Concierge Co, a full service concierge for people who want to experience Bali properly but want someone else to handle all the details.
Think of it as having a best friend who lives in Bali and knows absolutely everyone. Drivers, restaurants, experiences, day trips, suppliers, we sort it all. For people who want the best of Bali without spending hours researching, it has been a total game changer.
Then We Asked: What About Everyone Else?
Because here is the thing. Not everyone wants or needs a full concierge service. Some people just want to plan their own Bali trip and they just want to do it really, really well.
And we kept getting the same messages over and over again. “Where should we eat?” “Which beach clubs are actually worth it?” “Do you know a good driver?” “What are the hidden gems that tourists never find?”
We were answering those questions one DM at a time. For years.
So we decided to finally put everything in one place.
Introducing The Bali Pocketbook
The Bali Pocketbook is a curated, constantly updated insider guide to Bali, built from over 15 years of living, working, and being fully immersed in this island.
Unlike the Bali travel blogs you find on Google (written by someone who visited once in 2019), everything inside The Bali Pocketbook is personally tried and tested by our team on the ground. No paid placements. No outdated lists. No guesswork.
Inside you will find:
- Eat and Drink — The best restaurants in Bali, from hole-in-the-wall warungs to fine dining, epic brunch spots and rooftop bars with views that will wreck you
- Beach Clubs and Day Clubs — Top beach clubs in Bali, the best sunset spots, and the day-to-night venues actually worth your time
- Hidden Gems and Experiences — Waterfalls, temples, markets, and day trips that most tourists never discover
- Wellness and Beauty — Trusted spas, yoga studios, gyms and wellness retreats in Bali we genuinely recommend
- Where to Stay — Hand-picked villas and boutique hotels in Bali for every budget and every vibe
- Trusted Suppliers — Drivers, nannies, photographers, birthday gifts and more – suppliers we personally use and vouch for
And because Bali moves fast, the guide updates continuously. So you are always working with the freshest, most reliable recommendations on the island.
Why Most Bali Travel Guides Fall Short
Between Google, TikTok, and Facebook groups, planning a Bali trip can feel completely overwhelming. Every list contradicts the last one. Half the recommendations are years out of date. And when you have only got 5 to 7 days in Bali, one bad choice can waste an entire day.
The Bali Pocketbook was built specifically to solve that problem. It is the difference between Googling “best restaurants in Bali” and just asking your local friend who actually eats there every week.
And the Price? Genuinely Ridiculous
Full access is just $12 a year.
Less than one cocktail at a Bali beach club. For 12 months of constantly updated, locally sourced, zero-fluff insider access to the best of Bali.
Whether you are planning a Bali holiday, a destination wedding in Bali, or your fifth trip to the island and you finally want to do it properly, this is your shortcut.
