The twin huts owned by the resort is very nice place to enjoy the last light of the day. #golden #goldenhour #sunset #seascape #water #hut #peaceful
On a snorkelling trip we lunched at a pristine tropical island with no one on it. Turquoise waters and blue sky made it the stuff of dreams. The north of Indonesia is amazing, so different from Bali and the like. Fly into Singapore and get the ferry to Batam Island about 45 minutes away. #beachtips #bvsblue
