The path that you will start by entering from the side of Ibah Hotel will take you to a village. Especially start your journey close to sunset, around 16:45 - 17:00 so that you can reach the street before it gets dark. You will come across wonderful views at sunset, you can take a breather in extremely cute places and sip your coffee or smoothies prepared with tropical fruits. The walk takes about 1-1:30 hours round trip, but it is worth it :) I tricked my wife and made her walk twice 🤭

The security at Ibah is terrible... When asked about his style, he just pretends to be a master... Not friendly at all

Incredible how this place changes depending on which month you go there! We were in September for sunset and in april for sunrise. Both were great, however, in april the plants are very highly grown!
