It's 6:15AM in Bali, and I'm briefly woken by Brad as he gets up bright and early to catch some waves at the world famous Echo Beach, just a hop and skip away from our front door at Villa Hana. As he leaves, I have every intention to rise as well, but that thought is overtaken by my heavy lids as I instantly give in to them. When on holiday, right?

Before long, I wake to the daylight shining in through our open blinds. This time I embrace the morning and take the opportunity to get a little work done, from the comfort of bed, of course. Despite having dozens of photographs to edit from our trip so far, I put my work away as soon as Brad walks in with a disappointed look on his face; as it turns out, you can't hire a surfboard until around 8:00AM. Bummer, eh?

Luckily for him though, our lovely butler walks in with our morning coffee, which slightly softens the regret of not travelling with his own board. Next time. We decide to enjoy our steaming hot coffees outside on our  private terrace, looking out across the beautiful lush gardens and surrounding farm land, before the day turns unbearably hot.

In a world where being 'busy' is glamourised, I'll admit that it's nice just to enjoy each others company without any distractions (iPhones, I'm looking at you). 

After our freshly cooked breakfast in the dining area overlooking the pool, we returned to the air-conditioned refines of the Master Suite, where a lukewarm bath awaits in our ensuite bathroom, because why the heck not? Just another benefit of being on holiday.

Sitting amongst the rose petals and pink frangipanis in the freestanding tub, getting advice from Garance Doré, I couldn't help but think how truly blissful the morning has been. In fact, it was the most relaxing AM I've enjoyed in, well, I can't quite remember. It's another pinch me moment.

Oh yes, I could get used to this.
