Perfect​ ​for​ ​couples​ ​and​ ​groups​ ​alike

Are ​you​ searching​ for​ the perfect​ ​honeymoon location or​ romantic​ holiday?​ Perhaps you are ​​looking​ ​to​ ​sneak ​ away​ for​ a​ ​ ​relaxing trip ​with​ ​a ​​group of​  ​​friends? ​​Enter the Viceroy ​Bali.​ This​ intimate resort in Ubud,​ comprised of only 25​ villas,​ ​has​ a real wow factor. Starting​ with​ the​​ spacious and beautifully designed​ ​villas made of thatch. Each​ villa​ ​boasts​ ​marble​ ​bathrooms,​ ​exquisite ​views​ ​and​ ​private​ plunge​ ​​pools.

An​ ​award-winning​ ​restaurant​ ​and​ ​a​ ​bar​ ​with​ ​a​ ​view

The​ ​food​ ​at ​CasCades​ ​restaurant​ ​is​ ​something ​out​ of​​ a​ ​dream, offering​ unique​ cuisines and​ ​colorfully​ ​prepared​ ​plates. ​Each​ one​ better​ is ​than ​the​ ​last. ​I​​ recommend​​ ordering drinks at the ​​Viceroy Bar, ​one of Bali’s most praised cocktail venues. This​ was​ ​one​ of my ​​favorite places to​ ​​unwind at sunset.​ Particularly,​ at​ ​one ​​of​ ​the​ ​booths​ ​overlooking​ ​the valley.

Not all spas are created equal!

You​ will know​ what​ I mean​ ​when you experience​ the Lembah ​ Spa.​ It​ ​is​ heaven​​ ​on​ earth!​ Sitting atop the Petanu River Gorge, this tranquil spa offers a range of treatments focusing on healing and wellness. I​​ opted ​for​ a ​90 minute in-room​ massage which​ was​ remarkable beyond words.

Get​ ​out​ ​and ​explore​ the town of Ubud

Ubud certainly doesn’t lack in entertainment. With a​ ​​vibrant ​feel, upbeat​ ​nightlife,​ incredible ​artisan​ ​shops,​ health-food​ ​cafes ​and ​​many ​art​ ​galleries,​ ​there​ ​is always ​something​ to​ do​. Additionally,​ for​ a ​vegetarian ​​like ​me, ​Ubud always delivers. ​There​ are​ so​ many​ delicious​ plant-based meals​ to​ be ​found ​in​ the​ area. And​ ​of course,​ options ​for​ the​ meat​​ lover​​ ​as well.​   

Adventure​ and​ ​​convenience​ ​at​ ​your​ ​fingertips

Ubud​ ​sits​ ​inland, ​surrounded​ by​ gorgeous​ ​rice terraces. ​If​ ​you enjoy exploration like I do,​ ​I​ ​highly​ ​recommend ​​booking ​a​ ​ ​rice ​​paddy trek.​ They​ offer​ ​a​ ​wide​ variety​ ​of​ ​excursions,​ ​but​ ​this one is my favorite.​ ​There​ ​is​ ​nothing quite ​like​ taking​ a​ ​long​ stroll​ ​through ​​the​ ​terraces,​ with​ ​​the​ ​sun​ ​beaming ​down,​ illuminating​​ ​the expansive ​surroundings​​ and​ ​terrain.​ Don’t forget to​ bring​ a​ ​hat. You​ ​will​ thank ​me​ later!​        

Furthermore,​ ​the​ ​Viceroy​ ​Bali​ ​is​ ​the​ ​only​ ​hotel​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Ubud​ ​district​ ​with​ ​a​ ​helicopter​ ​pad.​ You​ ​can book private​ ​helicopter​ ​tours ​of​ Ubud and​ the​ surrounding​​ ​islands while staying here.​ Moreover,​ you can​ arrange​ a​ ​private​ helicopter​​ ​transfer to avoid the 45 minute drive to and from the airport. ​Now​ that’s what I call a grand entrance and exit!

Here​ ​is​ ​a list​ ​of​ more ​activities​ ​and​ tours​ ​which​ ​can​ be ​booked​ ​while staying at​ this luxury resort in Ubud:

• Yoga sessions
• Cooking classes
• Golfing days
• Harley Davidson tours and rentals
• Elephant safari park
• Various cycling and hiking excursions
• Coffee plantation tour

​The​ ​Viceroy​ ​Bali​ experience in summary

The Viceroy Bali is a beautiful retreat in the mountain foothills of Ubud.​ ​In​  my​ opinion,​ this property​ is​ ​best​ suited​ for​ a​​ romantic escape due to its privacy and level of service.​ Although, anyone would take great pleasure in staying here, including small groups and business travelers. With​ an​​ ideal​​ ​setting​ ​for​ ​relaxation, ​coupled​ with endless ​options​ for​ adventure,​​ this luxury resort in Ubud will ​​leave ​​you​ ​longing​ to​​ come​​ ​back for​ ​more.
