The art of tropical living
Many hotels in Bali bribe with their beautiful architecture. Upon entering the hotel facilities, the traveler emerges into another world. All thoughts of everyday life at home and the stress with the boss are blown away abruptly. Thereby, this Balinese style of architecture becomes increasingly popular all over the world. Stone carvings, relaxing space, and open living rooms that invite the outside landscaping in are major parts of Balinese architecture.
Open living space benefits from lush tropical gardens, which are as much a can not be overlooked component of modern Balinese way of life. Mossy walls, handcarved statues, and watergardens, combined with tropical plants, palms, the beach and and lots of space.
See this small selection of very luxury examples for hotel architecture in Bali:
The Balé combines traditional Balinese architecture with contemporary design. The hotels offers a wide range of pavilions with direct sea view, which gave the name, as the word balé translates in Western terms as "pavilion". Each pavilion comes with a large day bed where guests may enjoy ocean breezes and a massage.
A well kept secret is the Komaneka Resort near Ubud. The guest villas of this quite and unhurried hotel are open and invite the tropcial gardens into the living rooms. The Balinese-styled rooms feature dark wood furnishings and offer a private terrace with views of rice fields or landscaped gardens.
Overlooking the Ayung River, the luxurious Ubud Hanging Gardens offers villas with a private infinity-edged pool. Recline in these private plunge pools and you are totally enveloped by nature: jungle-covered mountains, exotic flowers, and an exquisite temple on the opposite cliff. This is the pinnacle of luxury.
Several writers and photographers have been busy with the trend of Balinese architecture. Some interesting books and picture books were created, two of which are on my bookshelf. Many a holiday has been replaced with a glass of red wine and browse these two books:
