The Ritz Carlton Resort & Spa Bali

Perched regally on a rocky bluff, the romantic Ritz-Carlton Bali Resort & Spa is a captivating, secluded hideaway that follows the Balinese principal that no building should be higher than the coconut palms.

There is an impressive spread of accommodation over the 77 hectare estate ranging from rooms and suites in the 4 storey central hotel buildings to the spacious retreats of the 40 one, two and three-bedroom ocean facing villas that each lie within their own private gardens complete with private plunge pool, open-air shower, private dining area and exclusive butler service. The 1 bedroom Cliff Villas, of which there are 38, form part of a dazzling complex on the western side of the resort. Spaciously appointed, these villas feature spectacular views of the Indian Ocean from every room and their own private infinity plunge pools.

One of the most sumptuous experiences at the resort is The Ritz Carlton Thalasso and Spa, one of the very best and most expansive complexes in the Far East that features one of the world’s largest Aquatonic seawater pools as well as state-of-the- art hydrotherapy treatment rooms and spacious private spa villas.

There are many dining experiences to be savoured with 8 restaurants offering a range of local and international cuisines. For die-hard romantics there is a chance to dine alone on the pier which extends out beyond the cliffs eating seafood under the stars to the chorus of the breaking waves below.
