Fresh Releases
So glad you're here! ✨ Here’s what we’ve been thinking about lately…
Siela started as an idea — and became a space for stories, connection, and soul. Nearly a year in, we’re proud of what’s been created… and curious about what’s next. We’re dreaming, reflecting, and letting the journey unfold.
What’s next for us?

Siela’s Guide to Bali is part travel plan, part soul adventure.
It’s how we spent a month exploring different corners of the island — from smoothie bowls and surf lessons to spiritual ceremonies and late-night karaoke.
If you’re planning a trip and wondering where to go (and when), this guide breaks it down week by week to help you soak up the best of Bali — and maybe find a little magic along the way.
Every trip has its landmarks — beaches, temples, sunsets.
But ours? Ours had people.
The souls we crossed paths with who, whether they knew it or not, changed us. This blog is for them. A collection of names, moments, and memories that left something behind.
After a month in Bali, what stuck with me most weren’t just the beaches or cafés — it was the people.
