Hanging Gardens of Bali

An award-winning resort set in the heart of the Balinese jungle, the Hanging Gardens of Bali was conceived with the desire to make “something magical and authentic”. Comprising just 44 private villas, each designed with traditional Alang thatched roofs, the resort sympathetically blends into the lush rainforest surroundings. Tradition meets with modern luxury throughout. This tranquil escape was built by 700 local craftsmen using traditional materials and indigenous ideas, working to a level of finish that saw the Hanging Gardens named as the world’s first seven-star boutique hotel. Holiday makers can relax in villas that feature hand-crafted furniture, exotic fabrics and luxurious master bedrooms. Step outside your villa and there is a private infinity pool and veranda with unspoilt views into the valley. Walk a short distance, or take the resort’s funicular railway, and there is a restaurant that has been a World Luxury Restaurants winner, offering a la carte dining with the option of wine pairing. Couples can delight in speciality dining, ‘Dinner on the World’s Best Swimming Pool’ is so called because Conde Nast Traveller named the infinity pool as the best on the planet. Those seeking something truly out of the ordinary can partake in a purification ritual performed with a local Mangku priest, the ritual accompanied by a Royal Rijsttafel feast.
