Viceroy Bali Hotel achieves a pitch perfect blend of romanticism and exoticism, creating a setting unique in its ability to both soothe and intoxicate.

The first things you notice upon entering your villa at Viceroy Bali Hotel, besides the stunning view and chic Asian decor, are pink orchids sprinkled like sugar over your white linen bedspread. It’s a telling detail. Viceroy Bali Hotel endeavours to blend the exotic with the sensuous, creating a whole greater than the sum of its parts.

You won’t want to linger too long, however. Viceroy Bali Hotel boasts a list of unique activities few succeed in completing during their first stay. Probably best, then, to narrow it down to a few.

First up, Balinese dance lessons. Half the fun here is squeezing into a traditional costume (blindingly bright and elaborate) without bursting into self-conscious laughter. Next, take the Rice Paddy Trek for a comprehensive look at the Balinese landscape and culture.

Follow your tour with dinner at the award-winning CasCades Restaurant, where French/pan-Asian cuisine tastes so good it acts as an unintentional aphrodisiac.
