Experience the Ultimate Romantic Getaway to Bali

When it comes to romantic getaway destinations, Bali is often at the top of the list. Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful places in the world, Bali’s pristine white and black sand beaches, clear sapphire water, and magnificent sunsets enthrall couples looking for a tranquil, picturesque place to enjoy. From the stately mountains to the lush vegetation including the bright green mazes of rice fields, the spectacular scenery is like nowhere else in the world.

Accommodations are luxurious and spacious, and Bali has an abundance of premier resorts near the beaches and mountains. Private villas overlook the sea and offer couples privacy, freedom, and all the comforts of home plus the amenities of the finest hotels. Many villas have swimming pools and gardens with staff such as chauffeurs, chefs, and butlers at your service.

Dining in Bali is a gastronomic delight. Restaurants and cafes offer a wide variety of cuisine ranging from satay, marinated barbecued meat served with peanut sauce, to black rice pudding. Chinese food is also popular in Bali, and fresh seafood is plentiful. Vegetarian fare is easy to find, and it is made with the freshest ingredients from local markets. The Balinese enjoy snacking, and food carts serving soup, spring rolls, and ice cream are available almost any time of day. 

No matter what you do in Bali, there is an air of romance surrounding you. The most romantic Balinese experiences include . . .

• Private champagne and seafood dinners at sunset on Jimbaran Beach.
• A rejuvenating couples massage with steam and sauna at your villa or at one of the many spas, followed by high tea.
• A cooking class for two followed by a catamaran dinner cruise with live music.
• Relaxing horseback riding or intimate horse-drawn carriage rides.
• Strolls along the sea on isolated beaches, nature hikes in remote forests, and sightseeing helicopter rides followed by romantic picnic lunches.
• Scuba diving and snorkeling in the crystalline waters of the Indian Ocean.
• A guided tour of Mount Agung, the holiest mountain in Bali and an active volcano. 

Bali is a serene, breathtaking place that welcomes couples from all over the world and offers not only romance but also excitement, fun, and luxury. For an intimate, relaxing getaway for two, look no further than this island paradise.

Why Stay in a Private Villa?

Travelers often stay in hotels because that’s all they know, but a private villa is far more exclusive and fun than a hotel—for approximately the same price or less. Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a great place to invite your new friends, a villa is the perfect setting.

Private villas are vacation homes that cater to the traveler. Your desires will dictate where you rent your villa, as amenities and locations vary. Do your research before renting a villa so that your choice will give you all the extras you expect.

Here are just a few advantages of a private villa:

• All the comforts of home. Villas are nicely appointed, with gourmet kitchens, spacious dining rooms, inviting living rooms, fitness rooms, and opulent bedrooms and baths. Some villas, however, do require you to rent exercise or office equipment, if they are not equipped with them already. You’ll feel right at home among the luxury.
• Romantic outdoor touches. Breezy gazebos, lush grounds, fragrant gardens, and refreshing swimming pools add to the elegant romance of a private villa.
• Space. Even the most luxurious suite can’t compare to the sheer indulgence of a villa.
• Privacy and freedom. Cook and eat anything at any time, or have your meals delivered. Do as you please when you please. Be quiet, or be loud—it’s up to you. You won’t have the intrusion of hotel staff or other guests. It’s just you and your party.
• Personal staff to look after every need. Chefs, butlers, drivers, and maids cater to every whim. If you’re looking for spa treatments or massages, professionals come to you, and trainers and exercise instructors are available upon request. Certified babysitters or nannies take care of the younger ones while you play or relax.
• Extra services. Villa managers and staff can arrange entertainment and activities for their guests. Be sure to ask about local tours and events as well as any unusual excursions or off-the-beaten-path areas you’d like to explore. Villa managers are happy to recommend restaurants, shopping, and charters.

Private villas are an excellent choice for those looking for a fuller, richer vacation experience, or those seeking a private, relaxing trip. A villa is the ideal combination of the comforts of home and the luxury of the finest five-star hotel. Renting a private villa is the first step to creating a customized vacation that truly nourishes your heart and soul.
