BALESIN ISLAND EXPERIENCE (MYKONOS BEACH AND BALI VILLAGES)

After the tour at St. Tropez and Toscana Villages which you can check out here. We were bound to find out what's in store for us in their Mykonos Beach and Bali Villages. Although every village is unique, Mykonos really stands out because all you will see is white. I didn't get to swim at their infinity pool, but I'll make sure to do so once we get back (who knows when).

BALESIN ISLAND EXPERIENCE (ST. TROPEZ AND TOSCANA VILLAGES)

I previously wrote a post on how to go about touring Balesin and I also posted pictures from touring Phuket and Costa Del Sol Villages which you can read here. Now, let's check out St. Tropez and Toscana (Italian themed village). Expect to see an overwhelming number of pictures as well.

BALESIN ISLAND CLUB EXPERIENCE (PHUKET AND COSTA DEL SOL VILLAGES)

Following my previous blog about our departure from Manila and arrival in Balesin, I am now posting all the pictures I took during our tour in all of the themed villages in the island. Since we arrived at around 11 in the morning, we took the 2pm tour. There are two tours everyday which are free for all members and guests (9am/2pm). You have to schedule your trip so that they would know how much are the attendees in order for them to allocate sufficient Milwaukees and tour guides. I highly suggest you take the 9am tour because pictures look better just before noon. We came at a time where a typhoon is on its way to the country. That explains the reason why it seems like the pictures were taken just before sunset. So maybe 2pm is ok too, especially during summer.

BALESIN ISLAND CLUB EXPERIENCE (Departure/Arrival)

Surreal is not even the word to describe my experience in Balesin Island. When I was first asked if I wanted to join the Balesin Island weekend getaway, I was like... Balesin? Come again? Is that in Indonesia? I was thinking it is a suburb of Bali or something. I actually didn't take it seriously because I thought nothing could top Boracay as far as being the country's ultimate island getaway (I haven't been to Boracay though). But I was wrong. Totally wrong. I know so little about travelling the Philippines to even think or say that.
