Beach, Babe & BaraCoco Bungalows

Following the previous post about the digital detox trip, this week I want to recommend a beautiful beach bungalow in Tanjung Bira, South Sulawesi, Indonesia: BaraCoco Bungalows.

That’s right! South Sulawesi is more than just witnessing the ‘walking dead’ ceremony, hanging coffins and historical burial sites in Toraja.

If you plan to go to Toraja (August is the best month), why not end your trip with a nice stay at a beautiful beach bungalow?

BaraCoco Bungalows is located right at Tanjung Bira (Bira Beach), giving you direct access to the beach whenever you want.

Each bungalow has its own balcony, a queen-sized bed and a private bathroom, ensuring you have a relaxing stay.

As there are only a few bungalows in the area, you’ll have a peaceful sleep at night. For more information, the free WiFi won’t be working at night so you’ll totally have a digital detox vacay!

Trust me, BaraCoco Bungalows is a place where you want to go with your bae.

Imagine hearing the sound of the waves drawing closer to the beach, soft wind blowing and some crickets chattering when you lie down on the bed at night.

You can even pull back the curtains to enjoy the beach view… or to spice things up ๐Ÿ˜‰

Unfortunately, I was (and still) single when I went there lol… I got to know about BaraCoco Bungalows from the independent tour operator that I contacted.

To my surprise, most of the people who stayed there were Europeans. I guess not many Indonesians or Asians are interested in beach bungalows when visiting Sulawesi?

If you’re one of them, I hope this blog post will change your mind! Staying in a beach bungalow is awesome – either you’re going on a solo trip or with bae ^ ^

However, there are a few catches if you choose to stay in BaraCoco Bungalows. The place is far far away from the city, it’s like 6 hours from Makassar (the capital of Sulawesi).

For your convenience, rent a car and a local driver to send and pick you up the next day.

Another thing, since it’s an au naturel beach bungalow, there’s no AC. Rest assured, they provide an electric fan and the night wind is pretty strong, so you won’t be soaked in sweat.

If you have an extra budget and feel like vacaying in Europe this summer, the next blog post will discuss a charming beach stay in Sorrento, Italy.

Stay tuned, carino e bello!
