Amazing Balinese Massage

“My husband and I booked a couples massage at the resort spa. With five blends of oils to choose from, we moved between relaxation and invigoration. My masseuse, Febry, was very nice, skillfully alleviating my knots. This was by far one of the best massages I've ever had. The atmosphere was serene, and I left feeling rejuvenated!” view full review

Really good Villa Design

“We stayed in a beautifully designed oceanfront villa that exceeded our expectations. It featured a spacious lower level with a kitchen and lounge, and a fine king bed in the loft. The attention to detail, including stocked breakfast items, made our stay deliciously convenient. Having a comfortable space to unwind and enjoy ocean views was truly luxurious.” view full review

Cozy Loft Bedroom

“I loved retreating to the mezzanine loft where the bedroom was located. The bed was enormous, comfortable, and beautifully designed with exquisite linens. Waking up there and enjoying morning coffee while soaking in the fine ocean views was a highlight of our trip.” view full review
