Experience the best of Balinese culture and gourmet dining at Desa Visesa Ubud.

-

Located in Ubud, the spiritual and artistic heart of Bali, Desa Visesa Ubud is the perfect place to immerse oneself in the rich heritage of the island. With cascading streams and verdant rolling rice fields, the resort pays homage to the Balinese village, blending elements of traditiona­l architectu­re with nature and contempora­ry design seamlessly. Take the One Bedroom Pool Villa, for example. Adorned with canopied king size bed and an open-air bathroom, the villa provides privacy and comfort, from which one can explore the abundance of activities.

Discover the natural rural beauty through a cycling trip or trekking excursion along rice terrace pathways. Gourmet couples should sign up for a cooking class at Warung Tani and learn how to expertly blend the spices to create basa gede. They will also learn how to recognise the herbs and spices that are being grown in the resort’s permacultu­re garden, cook tasty Balinese fare, and enjoy the fruits of their labour. Afterwards, head down to Visesa Balinese Healing & Spa. The healing haven expouses a holistic Bali Usada philosophy of healing, which means the treatments combine natural medicinal plants with expert techniques, such as the case with Bali Rejang Massage. Using a fluid finger movement, the treatment utilises acupressur­e techniques to relieve tension and restore balance for a blissful 90-minute experience.

End the romantic evening with a dinner at Padi Fine Dining Restaurant. A creation of talented chef, Mandif Warokka, the restaurant serves a noteworthy vegetarian and pescataria­n degustatio­n menu amidst an elegant surroundin­g.
