Three Layers of Blue at Blue Heaven Restaurant

Divine Views of Padang Padang beach overseen from an infinity pool are just one of Blue Heaven’s charms. The Atmopsheric Restaurant, located on the roof top terrace is another. I had only recently discovered Padang Padang beach, and I was more than happy to find out that I would return to this southern hilly area of Bali. Blue Heaven is located right after Padang Padang bridge where you can see surfers decorating the blue waves far below. The modern blue and white building complex seems to attract visitors from the beach who would like to dine after a day in the sun. A pool package allows you to use the pool and sun lounge chairs when you eat and drink, while spoiling yourself with the scenery.

Opened early in 2013, Blue Heaven caters to surfers, tourists and couples who wish to formally tie the knot in the serene tropical chapel facing the Indian Ocean. The food and beverage team of Blue Heaven is familiar with providing wedding couples with assistance, from prewedding photo shooting to wedding ceremonies, and of course, celebratory dinners.

The restaurant specialises in Indonesian cuisine. Prawn Spring Roll is their recommended appetiser, while Sup Buntut or Oxtail Soup is served with chips with a hint of nutmeg flavour. Balinese Sate Lilit is made with ground chicken mixed with Balinese spices and served on a bamboo brochette. At first it looks like it will be a full immersion into the Balinese culinary experience, but once dipped in a peanut sauce, the flavour shifts towards Java island – where sate is more commonly served with peanut sauce. Nasi Goreng and Mie Goreng are two other must-have items from the menu. Blue Heaven’s Fruit Salad is simple yet fresh; with cubes of watermelon, rock melon, pineapple and orange. The sauce is made with fresh orange juice mixed with honey to create a thick texture. The restaurant area is outdoor and indoor; outdoor is perfect for lunch as it has natural shade and natural wooden furniture; indoor is with cool air conditioning and a view of the garden, chapel and ocean. If you don’t want to be far from the pool, sit on one of the sun loungers or dining tables and order your drink from the pool bar. My recommendation for cooling down your day is the refreshing Fruit Paradise made with only fresh strawberries, pineapple and orange juice. The rooftop terrace on the top floor has a few small bungalows with an al fresco ambience and cushions to chill. In the morning the space transforms into an outdoor yoga studio with daily classes and views of the ocean to maximise the blissful session. Menur
