Join us on an exclusive & magical journey to "The Island of the Gods"- Bali, Indonesia. Experience the vast wonders of this exotic island- a combination of authentic eco-chic accommodations, yoga and fitness classes, rich Hindu traditions, exquisite temples, traditional Balinese dance, music and art, and breathtaking natural beauty- from the lush palm trees and rice fields to the endless beaches and surf. Along with the cultural and natural wonders, guests will enjoy relaxing massages, surf lessons, and of course, for those that are interested, fantastic shopping! Guests will also savor the culinary delights that Indonesia has become famous for, all with a healthy twist.

While in Bali guests will stay in original antique bungalows perfectly situated overlooking the lush rice fields in the Canggu/Seminyak region, a ten minute walk/bike ride to the beach. Each bungalow has its own rich history and has been completely restored and refurbished with modern amenities and original artifacts and antiques reflecting true Indonesian culture and heritage. Additionally, the property is host to a variety of unique indoor & outdoor spaces, gorgeous gardens and an expansive pool. A stay here is truly memorable, as the property is a slice of natural paradise splashed with a gracious staff, rich culture and an unparalleled sense of tranquility.

WHAT MAKES BALI SO SPECIAL

There is the combination of the friendly people, the natural attractions, the great variety of things to see and do, the year-round pleasant climate, and the absence of security problems. And then there is Bali's special "magic", which is difficult to explain.

As soon as you step off the plane you might sense the difference. In the villages you'll notice the quietness and wisdom in old people's faces, and the interest and respect in the young's. Old men sit at the road side caressing their fighting roosters. Beautifully dressed women walk proudly through rice fields and forests carrying offerings on their heads to the next temple. There is the smell of flowers, and in the distance you hear the sound of gamelan music.

Gods and spirits have been an important part of Bali's daily life for hundreds of years. Gunung Agung – Bali's holy mountain – is internationally regarded as one of the eight "Chakra" points of the world. This may be more than an coincident. Watch out, the moment you feel the magic of this island, you're addicted for the rest of your life.
