In the midst of my chaotic life such as meeting deadlines, I was fortunate enough to spend two magnificent weeks in paradise. I must say, this has truly been the most memorable getaway I have experienced in my entire life. This beautiful island is simply breathtaking, the marvelous architecture, culture and tradition that definitely makes a lasting impression.
One of the places I had visited was The Shanti Residence, located in Nusa Dua, a truly remarkable resort, set within the serene island amidst the lush tropics that truly gives you a tranquil experience. I was fortunate enough to experience three of the venues comprising of the Shanti Residence, The Lotus Residence and Four @Drupadi.
The Shanti Residence provided a panoramic view of the blue ocean from the rooms, in addition to the lush greenery visible from the paneled glass from the bedroom. In addition, there were gazebos, spacious rooms that provided comfort such as your home and state-of-the-art bathrooms, enough to spice things up a little in my life! I lived in all four of their suites which included the Master (Ambhara), Junior Suite (Aastha), Garden Suite ( Abian ), as well as the Oceanic Suite(Akansha & Ananta). I also enjoyed an extremely tranquil experience at the spa in which I received facial and full back massage that was truly an exquisite experience from the rest I had encountered.
During my stay at Four @ Drupadi, I was invited to view in four distinct suites, which was named after love; Youbi, Pyaar, Amour and Cinta. These rooms were created with much love and care to give you the most romance and passion during your perfect getaway with your loved one. I truly felt the essence of romance and passion during my visit here as this truly was heaven on earth, simply breathtaking and promises serenity. These suites were designed distinctively to symbolize the differences in celebrating love. For example, Pyaar which means love in Hindi provided a more Indian interior designing such as swirls whereas Youbi takes on a more Japanese touch.
Lastly, my visit at the Lotus Residence truly showcased the essence of a Balinese culture. The Lotus Residence accommodations overlooks the gorgeous landscapes gardens, carefully designed with wooden furniture that has been carved, truly reflecting a Balinese architecture. This place is most suitable for a family getaway that will truly enhance the relationships and bonds of a family with the magic this place has got to offer. In addition, having witnessed many wedding ideas over the last couple of years, a garden wedding at this place would truly be a sight to remember as the lush gardens and floras are so alluring and fresh to the eyes.
These places come with well equipped spa facilities that provides many remedial therapy and messages that will truly ignite your senses. I truly have had a rejuvenating experience with my visit to paradise with the hospitality of this Balinese tradition and people. This is an island that everyone should have an opportunity to visit as this is truly a remarkable getaway that will do you wonders! Take it from me, for I have been ‘reincarnated’ since my visit to this beautiful island. |
