Xmas is approaching

Christmas delivery cutoffs

Christmas is a busy time around Aquabumps. As we’re predominantly a made-to-order business, and our artworks are hand-made, we need a decent amount of time to fulfill your orders. It takes 2-3 weeks to make artwork from scratch and about one week to send it anywhere in one of our custom-made, durable art crates. Follow […]

Perfect Wave

We arrive by boat to Kandooma, an idyllic island with a peeling right-hander. We were no sooner off the boat, and we checked into our beach villa and the warm water of the Maldives within minutes. It’s a dream setup and a rarity to have a break right out the front of your room. It […]

Amanpulo

You depart Manilla via a small plane – like everything AMAN do, the moment you arrive at their lounge your every need is catered to. A short 1.5-hour flight across the vast sea you almost feel like you are flying into the abyss.  As you land on the island the AMAN family are there to […]

Soneva Jani and Fushi

You arrive to the island paradise by sea plane, hovering above crystal blue water and remote atolls, it’s the rock stars’ arrival. Fushi was our first destination and has a rustic Robinson Crusoe feel about it. Handing over your shoes before stepping off the sea plane – ‘no shoes no news’ is like a long […]

AG1 x Aquabumps

Millions of Mornings Made Better with Aquabumps & AG1 Next year marks 25 years of Aquabumps. That’s over 6,500 daily morning shoots, and only missing a few. Only COVID-19 (when they closed Bondi), the birth of a child or torrential flooding rains from La Nina will interrupt Uge’s daily rituals of documenting a beach with […]

Amankila, East Bali

Amankilla + Amanwana

2.5 hours from Bali airport is Amankilla – think old Bali, scattered with villages and dense tropical forests. Perched on a hill is the beautiful, classic, timeless Amankilla. The service is beyond – the property is private and feels as though you have it to yourself sometimes, with guests finding shade in the striped thatch-covered […]

We're the villa in the middle.

The Sanubari, Sumba, Indonesia

This was my third time visiting Sumba. I love the remote rawness of this island. Little development has happened and appears to be more considered and slow – I’m keeping everything crossed; it remains the untouched paradise. The island is primitive; locals live in uma mbatangu; these traditional peaked houses are built according to Marapu […]
