What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and The 50 Discovery.
Jumeirah's all-villa property up here is deliberately far from the island's busier corners. All 123 villas take their cues from Hindu-Javanese architecture: duck egg shutters...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched along the quiet cliffs of Pecatu, the property has direct footpath access to the famous surf breaks of Dreamland Beach.
The rooms
High pitched beamed ceilings and duck egg shutters frame every villa, each complete with a private swimming pool and outdoor pendopo.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and pools
Sunken stone tubs and a Turkish hammam anchor the spa, beside multi-tiered infinity pools above the surf.
Yoga and the gym
Yoga sessions take place beneath stone colonnades, and the fitness center looks out over the gardens.
At the table
Clifftop fire pits warm dinner at Akasa, and open-air terraces serve evening drinks facing the sunset.
Built into a clifftop above one of Bali’s loveliest beaches, this resort’s chic mix of alabaster architecture and luxury villas makes for a stay fit for royalty.
How it began
Architects modeled the resort on fourteenth-century Javanese royal water palaces, centering the grounds around a historic hundred-year-old banyan tree.
