The kind concierge greeted me with
what may be the most delicious mojito
I’ve ever had! The terrace has views of the
surrounding jungle and ocean, which
made me catch my breath at the sunset.
My private butler, who is at your service
24/7 during your trip, greeted me and
proceeded to whisk me away on a tour
of the hotel. Thick cobble-stoned roads
surrounded by lush forest rushed past
me in our golf cart. The Bulgari Hotel
wanted to stay true to Balinese culture,
making sure the hotel was Eco-friendly
and supported local villages by decorating the interior rooms with their art.
Each of the 59 villas come with at least a
partial ocean view, which can be rare in
Bali, and private plunge pool. Opt for
the Ocean Cliff Villa, or if you’re stay-
ing with a large group or family, stay in
one of their private mansions. Privacy
comes first at this hotel; with each door
to the villas looking like a secret passageway only you know about. Il Ristorante,
their award-winning Italian restaurant,
plays traditional music that pairs well
with the natural sounds of ocean waves
in the background. I devoured a delicious 5-course tasting meal I can only
describe as “euphoric” (let’s blame my
constant diet of airplane food for the
past 30 hours on that word). But, what
most attracted me to the Bvlgari Hotel
is the level of service. It’s the perfect
place for a honeymooning couple not
only looking for relaxation and pampering, but also a sense of mystery and of
course, romance.
