Nestled along the sandy shores of Seminyak, Bali, SugarSand offers a culinary journey that tantalizes the senses and leaves a lasting impression. As a restaurant and travel journalist, I recently had the pleasure of dining at this exquisite establishment, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of extraordinary.
