Tropical Paradise Vibes: Shooting Delmaar Swim at La Santa Rosa, Balangan Beach
Hey, it’s Glen – Bali swimwear photographer living that island life. Just wrapped an incredible shoot for the vibrant European (Latin-Australian inspired) bikini label Delmaar Swim at the stunning boutique resort La Santa Rosa in Balangan, Bali. This spot is pure magic: lush tropical gardens, palm-shaded bungalows, serene pools, and that short stroll to Balangan Beach’s wild waves and black sand. It’s got the perfect mix of luxury retreat and raw Bali nature – ideal for capturing effortless, sun-soaked swimwear energy.
Delmaar Swim brings that bold Latin flair: handmade details, crochet accents, shiny fabrics, minimal cuts, and pieces designed to feel confident and irresistible whether you’re poolside or hitting the beach. Their bikinis and one-pieces have this playful, sensual edge that screams summer – think thick straps, stretchy fits, and vibrant vibes perfect for global wanderers.
For this campaign, we brought in two absolute stunners: the radiant Alysha Bandy (Aussie model with that killer Instagram presence, based everywhere from Italy to Bali) and the tall, magnetic Alexandra Pletnyova(Russian international model with her signature dark blonde hair and light brown eyes, often jetting between Bali and Europe). These two together? Electric. Alysha’s fun, confident energy paired perfectly with Alexandra’s elegant poise – they moved naturally, laughed between takes, and owned every frame.
We shot across the resort: lounging by the pool with ocean glimpses, walking the tropical paths in flowing cover-ups, playful poses on sunbeds, and golden-hour magic with the Balangan sunset painting everything warm and dreamy. The natural light was flawless – soft mornings for glowing skin tones, afternoon sun for vibrant colors popping on the bikinis, and that late light adding a sensual, cinematic feel without forcing it.
The results? Fresh, empowering images that showcase Delmaar’s Latin-inspired designs in an authentic tropical setting – ready for their site, socials, lookbooks, and inspiring anyone dreaming of Bali escapes.
Shoots at places like La Santa Rosa remind me why Bali is unbeatable for swimwear campaigns: the serenity, the light, the effortless beauty. Huge thanks to Alysha and Alexandra for the incredible chemistry, and to the Delmaar team for the vision.
