Bali, Indonesia

This luxury hideaway in the heart of the West Bali National Park is the perfect place to re-charge your batteries after the overland trip across Java. Situated on a mangrove-lined bay, with direct access to secluded, sandy Sentigi Beach, the resort offers stylish Joglo beach villas and wood-lined lodges, all with four-posters and open-to-sky bathrooms. Protruding high above the surrounding treetops, with superb views over the remote forest and ocean nearby, the conical-topped, thatched Bali Tower houses a restaurant offering what has to be the area’s ultimate vista. Wild deer routinely wander past your window and the sounds of the forest envelop the whole place. Best of all Menjangan Island, and its sublime coral reef, are just a short boat ride away.
