Ubud, Indonesia

Another one of our favourites in Bali’s traditional cultural enclave, Kayumanis nestles amid groves of cinnamon trees, and offers luxurious accommodation in suave private villas, each with its own pool, sundeck, tropical garden and private butler. The décor is Balinese-inspired, but draws on different local cultures to magical effect. Ask for one with a valley view and you won’t be disappointed. The hotel’s heavenly spa is central to the whole Kayumanis experience and shouldn’t be missed: enjoy a relaxing Indonesian massage before a candlelit dinner in the privacy of your own villa.
