Ahhh.. The Island Paradise of Bali. What a beautiful place with such beautiful people. I have been to Bali quite a number of times and I can never get enough of the place. Kuta and the surrounding tourist township is always fun for the beaches, clubs, shopping and restaurants (like La Luchiola in Seminyak). It's easy to enjoy the coast but the real charm of Bali is up in the hills. The resort I cannot speak highly enough about is The Alila Spa Resort in Ubud. What a wonderful experience. Set in and amongst the rice fields and hill side coconut groves the Alila is everything relaxation is about. With one of the most photographed drop pools and a day spa (particularly for the ladies) and the exquisite thatched roof bungalows scattered amongst the immaculately kept surroundings.. it is overwhelmingly romantic and you just end up never wanting to leave. Unfortunately your wallet reminds you when to leave because it is quite expensive and definitely comes under the category of life's little luxuries. It's a must to experience at least once in a life time. The ambiance is serene with quietness and rest being the order of the day. There are shuttle buses transporting people to the little town of Ubud, (there and back) throughout the day and well into the evening. Even a walk around the grounds in a tropical rain storm simply adds to it. Fellas.. take your gals, and you will see a completely different side to them. Three to four days there is plenty. Best way is to check with your travel agent as to getting a package with flights and ask about any special offers especially in the wet season. Enjoy people!
