BALINESE BEAUTY

Eat, pray, love and luxury resorts–it’s a signature itinerary in Bali, Indonesia’s serenely beautiful island, which just so happens to be home to some of the world’s most splendidly luxe hotels

Bali is synonymous with luxury, paradise and pleasure, but there is something that transcends all of these things. The word samaya translates from Sanskrit as “sacred”, which is an apt adjective for what’s on offer at The Samaya Seminyak Bali, where travellers come to find peace, tranquillity and true rest. The full service villa and spa resort delivers authentic Balinese hospitality in a spectacular beachfront location with full security, with Samaya Pool Villas located beach side with full-size private lap pools, chic interiors, self-contained entrances and the assurance of privacy. The foremost villa option is undoubtedly the Three-Bedroom Royal Courtyard Villa, located opposite the main resort and accessible via a beachside buggy transfer, ensuring a discreet corner of luxe-villa living, with three self-contained villas within one compound, a private full-size private swimming pool, and a dedicated entrance. Ranging up to 600sqm and swathed in lush greenery, the villas also provide a wooden gazebo that can double as day bed or even an intimate private dining area for friends and family. To entice you even further, The Samaya Seminyak has a host of packages available. If spa bliss is your forte, the “Ultimate

Relaxation SPA Indulgence” package includes a variety of options to make sure you unwind the way you want – including a bottle of bubble to help balance your yin and yang. Or if you’ve eloped with your loved one, the three-night “Honeymoon Escape in Paradise” includes a romantic candlelight dinner, a lavish lunch and a two-hour couples’ Royal Bliss Ritual at the on-site spa. The resort is also an ideal venue for couples who wish to say “I do” on the shores of a tropical island, surrounded by swaying palms and the curated guests of your choosing. Picture the utterly romantic scene; a white flower gate, loose petals surrounding the altar and Balinese umbrellas to shelter the nuptials from the sun’s warm rays. To provide accompaniment to the lapping waves, two rindink musicians are on hand to play traditional melodies and a bamboo flautist can accompany the bride as she makes an entrance just as unforgettable as your entire stay.
