Then he was fortunate enough to team up with Lydia to make an award-winning hospitality team
LYDS/ aka Lydia
LYDS : completed her law degree and decided that was not her passion. So she entered culinary school and became a professional chef having worked for an Asian cruise ship line and a major 5-Star hotel in Singapore. Then she moved to Bali and started her own catering and event company and ended up partnering with Bob on a B&B.
AS A HOSPITALITY TEAM
Together Bob and Lyds created Aahh Bali and went to work to make a better B&B. The criteria was to offer a place that provides service and hospitality. They didn’t want to offer folks just a place to sleep. They wanted to create an environment where people would feel like they were staying with old friends who would guide them to their best experience of the area. Providing them with lots of information about local surroundings, dos, and don’ts of the area, as well as non-touristy things to do and see and of course the usual hot spots. Information is key when traveling or relocating and they feel you can never have too much. They start by providing a list of Bali Tips.
Now they have shifted their focus to providing seniors with a whole new retirement experience. The goal is to match and exceed their success in their B&B. Ranked the number one B&B in Jimbaran by TripAdvisor since 2013 and as of September 2024 we’re still ranked #1 out of 176 B&Bs. TripAdvisor changed their criteria for their rankings but Aahh Bali still ranks #1 out of 13 as of June 2025.See what we have for you now!
