You’ll get to your villa via a scenic garden path when you first arrive, and refresh yourself with a welcome drink and a cold towel. Details life fresh fruit and flowers delight the senses. The large windows let in lots of natural light. You can opt for air conditioning, or simply open the windows and let in fresh breezes.

Outside, there’s a pool where you can unwind in the shade of the frangipani and palm trees. Swim a soothing lap in the 82-foot (25-m) long swimming pool.

Large cabanas next to the pool provide the perfect place to take in the serenity and relax with a book. If you’re in Bali on business, keep in mind that the villa’s library is a quiet space that can also be used for meetings.
