Bucket List: Viceroy Bali
Crystal clear waters, sandy white beaches and lush, verdant gardens—sounds close to what most people conjure up when they think of the word ‘paradise’. It’s also a fitting description of Ubud, a small town on the Indonesian island of Bali—but this tropical locale has so much more to offer than just the scenery. A centre for crafts, cuisine and art, it’s the ideal location for travellers who want a side of culture with their slice of paradise.
Set amidst the rice paddies and green foothills of the region, the sumptuous Viceroy Bali makes for an ideal place to hang your hat when you aren’t out and about exploring. The luxuriously appointed villas offer guests space to relax in private in gazebo-like pavilions called balés, and unwind at leisure in peaceful heated pools.
If that’s not quite enough luxury for you, take a short walk to the Viceroy’s Lembah Spa, which offers calming therapeutic treatments with stunning views over the tranquil Petanu River. Feeling a bit peckish after all of that relaxing therapy? Grab a bite to eat at the CasCades Restaurant, an award-winning dining experience serving up a French menu influenced by Asian flavours.
