A haven of dramatic architecture Te Viceroy Bali is a member of the Finest Collection — itself part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. In its array of lavish and richly adorned villas, the hotel fuses traditional Balinese architecture and tropical old-world elegance, in an emerald- green setting on the northern slopes of Bali’s cultural capital Ubud. Featuring heated infinity pools


overlooking a dramatic rainforest ravine in the heart of the Indonesian island, as well as luxurious bath- rooms and Italian espresso machines, the Viceroy Bali has any number of features to awe its guests. Additional touches include a nightly turndown service with thoughtful gifts, chic slippers and kimono-style robes, highlighting that luxury truly lies in the details.


Culinary excellence Te hotel’s two restaurants offer a feast for the senses through very different experiences. At Cascades, the picture-postcard views come front and centre to enjoying a long, gourmet lunch with fresh dishes and a blend of Balinese and international flavours. For a more avant-garde culi- nary adventure, Apéritif Restaurant and Pinstripe Bar provide sophisti- cated settings with a globally inspired menu and an extensive selection of cocktails and fine wines.


Time for yourself Akoya Spa at Viceroy Bali offers a sanctuary of rejuvenation and a holistic wellness approach. Spacious treatment rooms for couples, a luxu- rious beauty salon and Zen-like water installations all help to set your mind


at ease as time slows down. Tere’s a range of treatments, from traditional Balinese massages to advanced well- ness therapies, also complemented by a state-of-the-art fitness centre and squash court.


Cultural and natural immersion Going beyond luxury, the Viceroy Bali offers a gateway to the rich culture and natural beauty of Ubud. Guests can partake in bespoke tours, exploring local temples, rice terraces and vibrant markets. On-site cultural activities such as Balinese dance classes, cooking lessons and yoga sessions deepen the connection to the island’s heritage. For those seeking an extraordinary


blend of luxury, privacy and cultural immersion, the Viceroy Bali in Ubud offers an unforgettable experience.
