Living in a Cliff (Dreamsea Surf Bali/Le Cliff Bali)

Perched high on a rugged cliff in Bali, overlooking the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, life feels like a beautiful blend of serenity and thrill. My cliffside home is carved into the rocky face, half-hidden among lush greenery. The walls are lined with local stone, and the constant sea breeze filters through open spaces, carrying the scent of salt and tropical flowers.

Every morning, I wake up to the sound of waves crashing far below, their rhythm like the heartbeat of this island. The sun rises slowly, casting a golden light across the water, while a chorus of birds greets the new day. I walk out onto the small wooden deck, feeling the misty air on my skin as I look down at the jagged rocks and endless blue. It’s a place where nature’s power is both awe-inspiring and humbling.

Life on the cliff is simple yet deeply connected to the earth. There’s no bustling city here, just the quiet presence of the sea, the sky, and the cliffs that have stood for centuries. I spend my days exploring hidden paths that wind through the cliffs, leading to secret beaches where the sand is untouched by tourists. Sometimes, I climb down to these hidden coves, swimming in crystal-clear water and feeling completely alone with the ocean.

At night, the sky is a deep, inky black, studded with stars. With no light pollution, the Milky Way is clearly visible, and I often sit on the deck, wrapped in a blanket, watching as shooting stars dart across the sky. The roar of the ocean is ever-present, a reminder of both its beauty and danger.

There are occasional visitors—fishermen from nearby villages who know the secrets of the cliffs or travelers seeking a moment of peace away from Bali’s more crowded areas. They tell stories of ancient Balinese gods who protect this sacred place, of spirits that live in the ocean and the cliffs.

Living here has taught me to slow down, to appreciate the quiet moments, and to find joy in the simple things—like the changing colors of the ocean or the sight of an eagle soaring on the wind. It’s a life of solitude but never loneliness, as nature provides constant company.

The cliffs of Bali have become more than just a home; they are a living, breathing presence, teaching me to live in harmony with the world around me. #bali #chill #pinoy #sunset #lofi
