Sungai Gold: A Room In Rural Bali

Away From The Hype Crowds Of Bali,

Seminyak and Ubud, the place is magical and authentic. Lost in the countryside, in a quiet village, the beautiful Villa Sungai is decorated with taste and no ostentation: ” all is order and beauty, Luxury, calm, and sensual delight ” (Baudelaire).

The cozy perfect nest where to recharge alone, with your special one, family or friends. The service is simply amazing: we are pampered without being stifled by a smiling discreet team … the famous Balinese smile!

The villa has two bedrooms, each with a large bathroom and outdoor shower overlooking the “jungle”. The spacious lounge open of the pool, can turn into an extra bedroom. I enjoyed meditating a lot on a wide Balinese bed and worked (less) on my computer, lol!

A beautiful white orchid on the bedside table, wicker basket and batik sarongs provided in the dressing room, Acqua di Parma soaps in the bathroom and playlist if I have forgotten my music … A treat!

And last photo : to swim listening to unusual sounds of the Balinese countryside. Suksma (thanks)!

Sungai Gold, Bali: une chambre à la campagne

Villa Sungai Cepaka-Bali-Room-2-Photo Mademoiselle Le K-copyright 2014

Loin des foules du Bali branché,

Seminyak ou Ubud, l’endroit est magique, authentique. Perdu en pleine campagne, dans un village tranquille, la superbe Villa Sungai! Décorée avec gôut, sans ostentation, où: “Tout n’est qu’ordre et beauté, Luxe, calme et volupté” (Baudelaire).

Le parfait nid douillet où se ressourcer seule, avec sa moitié, en famille ou entre amis. Un service hors paire : on est chouchouté, sans être étouffé, par une équipe discrète et toujours souriante, le fameux sourire des balinais!

La villa comprend deux grandes chambres, avec chacune une large salle de bain, dont la douche extérieure donne sur la “jungle”. Le vaste salon, en partie ouvert sur la piscine (où je méditais longuement sur un large lit balinais et travaillais moins longuement sur mon ordi, lol), peut se transformer en une chambre supplémentaire.

Une belle orchidée blanche sur ma table de chevet, un panier et des paréos en batik à disposition dans le dressing, des savons Acqua di Parma dans la salle de bain, une playlist au cas où j’aurai oublié ma musique…

Et dernière photo : nager en écoutant les bruits insolites de la campagne balinaise. Suksma (merci)!

Ayana Resort & Spa, Bali: Thalassotherapy & The Rock Bar

Thalassotherapy At The Thermes Marins Spa 

Sparkling Happy New Year to everyone! Here’s a post that is specially aimed at those who have eaten too much chocolate, champagne and whatnot … during the holidays : ) And also to travelers before a long haul flight.

Invited by the luxurious Ayana Resort and Spa, I had the pleasure to experience a thalassotherapy at the Thermes Marins Spa of the Ayana, just few hours before flying back to Europe. The goal was to prepare the body for 25 hours travel (plane and stopovers included).

Throughout the course of care that lasts 2 hours in the Aquatonic Pool, a huge pool of 700 liters of the Indian Ocean’s water, I am guided by a member of the spa staff that shows me the jets to use. I guarantee you that I felt my muscles worked deep (sometimes it was a bit painful), while enjoying a direct sea view, in a pleasant golden light of late afternoon. Happiness!

I came away softer than a mollusk, LOL! Extremely relaxed and a bit euphoric! Honestly, if I had had more time, I’ll be stayed even longer! I usually have the swollen legs and back pain in the plane, this time I slept like a new born.

A Drink At The Famous Rock Bar

Even though I am late because of the spa, no way not to make a short stop at the Rock Bar of the Ayana Resort and Spa. People can stand in line more than an hour to have a seat at the sunset time.

I know, it’s insane, but the location is great with good music! Even crazier: after sunset, the bar empties. For me, the best time is the dusk, when candles are lit and the ocean gets darker … But I gotta run to the airport, bye bye beautiful Bali!
