Highs & Lows
-
The location is second to none. Sitting on a clifftop overlooking a world class surf break. You can spend hours here perched on the edge watching the waves roll in.
-
The details. Every single element here has been considered and build by the Italian owners, who came to Bali in the 70s. They have since made some very comfortable additions to the property, sourcing furnishings from all over the world. Special features include outdoor shower built into trees, a yoga shala, an infinity pool, private suites each with unique features and antique doors), but it still feels very intimate and family owned and run. It’s a very special place.
-
The food. The restaurant is known far and wide for being fresh and healthy. The menu is abundant with tropical fruits (mangoes, starfruit, papaya, pineapple) and there are pages of fresh juices and smoothies. Start the day with a Balinese coffee and a bowls of coconut porridge and edge with a cocktail on the cliff. Every night they do a special dish.
-
Be careful of leaving your belongings lying around – monkeys are about in this tropical climate! Best to lock up windows and doors when you’re in your room.
-
More of a note than a minus. You’re at the top of the cliff (with mind-blowing views) but be prepared to hike up and down to the beach every day. On the upside, it’s a great work out and a good way to stretch your legs before a dunk in the ocean.
