Prepare to be serenaded by wafts of soothing music played on traditiona­l instrument­s— like the angklung and the jegog performed by the West Bali Bamboo Orchestra. And a fun fact about Kura Kura Restaurant? It was named after the turtles that nest on the beach in front of the resort.

Meanwhile, Frangipani Café is the perfect place for long, leisurely alfresco breakfasts and lunches as it offers an inimitable view of the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by frangipani and coconut palms, with large colourful frilled parasols providing respite from the sun, listening to the sound of the waves crashing onto the shores—what more could one ask for?
