BRB – Bvlgari Resort Bali
7 January 2011
One of the ways I keep my heart (and my face, hopefully) young is to go on frequent getaways. And, if respite is what I’m after, the Bvlgari Resort Bali resort is the perfect antidote…and more!
Perched high on a cliff overlooking the Indian ocean, this resort is stunning with its sleek and modern interiors made of volcanic rocks and timber. Consisting of only 59 exclusive villas (from US$800 per night) – including the ultimate Bvlgari villa (US$6700 per night) which apparently has a pool bigger that the resort’s own pool, each villa is assigned a personal butler to cater to guests’ whims 24 hours a day. These freestanding villas with terraces and private plunge pools are sumptuous inside and out, with ocean views, open-air living areas and Bang and Olufsen audio and visual systems. Service is impeccable and unobtrusive. We were acknowledged by our names the whole time and no request is denied – including a desperate call back to the resort when I could not find a restaurant in Seminyak. Another case in point: when I called for breakfast for myself because my partner, Kevin, was not hungry, my butler asked me after I placed my order, “Mr Kevin is not eating?”. How’s that for personal service? Not to mention the plates of desserts that magically appear every night…
The Bvlgari Resort Bali pulls out all stops to ensure that guests have an unforgettable experience – from Bvlgari toiletries to helicopter rides to a traditional Balinese Hindu temple located at the highest point of the resort. One of the must-dos is to catch the sunset at the property’s bar adjacent to a horizon pool with stunning views of the Indian Ocean. The resort also has two restaurant choices, the sophisticated/casual Sangkar featuring Asian, Indonesian and International cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, helmed by an award-winning chef, and the more formal Il Ristorante, a dinner spot serving cutting-edge Italian cuisine.
There are no shortage of things to do – you can choose to soak up treatments at the spa or take an adventuresome ride in the inclined elevator to their private beach 200 metres down, where butlers will ensure that you enjoy your own private little idaho. I was happy staring at the vast expanse of sea and sky every day, bonding with my gecko and monkey friends and just treating my eyes to the lush and beautiful scenery every where I looked. Who says you have to die to go to heaven?
