What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
comic-book characters share wall space with East Timorese textiles, and tomb-like spa rooms sit behind an imposing golden door.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set along a quiet lane in Pererenan, the hotel is less than a kilometer from the coast's famous surf breaks.
The rooms
Vaulted boudoir suites feature canopy beds and curated stationery, while ground-floor Pavilion Suites add private garden plunge pools.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 30-meter lap pool stretches through the central gardens, lined with lion-head spouts and crimson cabanas.
The spa
Dark slate treatment rooms offer Balinese massages, organic herbal scrubs, and copper soaking baths.
At the table
Le Café Rouge serves French and Mediterranean dishes made with Balinese ingredients, overlooking the courtyard herb garden.
How it began
The retreat occupies the former residence of French antique collector Henriette Reboul, reimagined by a visiting architect from Aix-en-Provence.
