O beroi did well to snag this spot in Seminyak long before it boomed. Set on a prime west-coast beachfront plot, the Indian hospitality brand’s Bali property opened in the late 1970s and was surrounded by nothing but rice fields that have since been consumed by more recent developments. Stretching across 15 acres of lawns and gardens shaded by frangipani trees, the resort takes the form of scattered, single-storey structures built in Balinese style from wood, rough stone and dried-grass thatch.
The result is characterfully classic with a strong sense of place, ever-smiling staff and a luxurious, relaxed air of spaciousness.
