Summary
“I will never forget all these remarkable villas and the experiences we had the privilege of participating in.”
Day 1 & 2 – CHANDRA LUXURY VILLAS, SEMINYAK
Our journey in Bali commenced with a two-night stay at the exquisite Chandra Luxury Villas in Seminyak, which features nine stunning villas.
Our experience was delightful; everything was simply impeccable. The service provided by the staff was exceptionally warm and accommodating, and the culinary offerings were remarkably tasteful. The villas, with their well-designed interiors and pristine pools, exemplified perfection. Located in Seminyak, this area is ideal for exploration, offering a plethora of dining, shopping, and vibrant nightlife options amid lush surroundings. Despite its proximity to these attractions, the villas are situated in a serene environment, making it suitable for both relaxation and entertainment.
We had the privilege of enjoying in-villa yoga, which was an extraordinary experience. A personal instructor named Hiroshi Funakoshi came to guide us through an hour of tranquil yoga at 6:30 AM. His class comes highly recommended! Additionally, we indulged in a wonderful Balinese massage.
Words alone cannot express our gratitude; Chandra Luxury Villas was simply sublime!
Day 3 & 4 – PEPPER’S, SEMINYAK
Following our stay at Chandra Luxury Villas, we transitioned to Pepper’s, which is also situated in Seminyak. We resided in a splendid two-bedroom pool villa that boasted exquisite décor and luxurious details. Every aspect of our visit was exceptional, from the attentive staff and service to the delightful culinary offerings. I had no grievances whatsoever. Additionally, the opportunity for a Balinese massage at Pepper’s was rejuvenating. The Spa facilities were beautifully appointed, creating a serene environment. The massage itself was a sublime experience. Furthermore, Pepper’s offers a 24-hour gym, which was a refreshing addition to our stay.
Our experience at Pepper’s Seminyak was simply outstanding, and it is highly recommended.
Day 5 & 6 – THE SAMATA, SANUR
Our subsequent accommodation was at The Samata Sanur, an exquisite resort nestled amidst the picturesque Balinese rice fields. It provided a tranquil atmosphere, allowing us to unwind thoroughly during our two-night stay. The Villas are designed to rejuvenate, with alluring views of verdant rice fields and the azure Indian Ocean. The Samata offers an invigorating approach with an emphasis on state-of-the-art fitness amenities, skilled personal trainers, a blissful spa, and a health-focused gourmet restaurant. The culinary offerings at The Samata were unparalleled—each dish was wholesome, expertly prepared, and remarkably delicious. During our stay, we also engaged in a healthy cooking class where we crafted nutritious meals and juices alongside the chefs, an inspiring experience in itself!
Our visit to The Samata Sanur was exemplary; I felt rejuvenated and content after a few days at this splendid resort.
Day 7 & 8 – KARMA KANDARA, ULUWATU
Our final night was spent at the splendid resort Karma Kandara in Uluwatu, Bali, a renowned location among surfing aficionados. It is important to note that most surfing spots here cater to advanced surfers due to the prominent waves. The primary surfing areas include Uluwatu, Dreamland, Padang-Padang, Bingin, Impossibles, and Suluban. Although I am not a surfer, I found Uluwatu to be incredibly inspiring.
Karma Kandara was recognized as Asia’s best beach resort in 2014 by World Traveller. This remarkable resort stood out for its expansive layout while maintaining a tranquil ambiance despite having a larger number of guests. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this establishment. It also features a private beach, Karma Beach Club, which was one of the most beautiful beaches I have encountered. Their restaurant on the beach offered an array of delicious and fresh culinary delights.
I had the opportunity to indulge in a Balinese massage at this resort as well. The experience was nothing short of magical. The massage beds, set on a cliffside, provided stunning views of the ocean and beach. I received an extraordinary massage accompanied by the soothing sounds of waves crashing on the shore, creating an unforgettable experience. Our visit to Karma Kandara was extraordinary!
CONCLUSION: The remarkable villas and experiences we experienced will forever be etched in my memory. These impressive resorts are truly deserving of a visit. One word: wow!
