A warm holiday paradise in Tabanan, Bali
This time, I stayed at a hotel in Tabanan, Bali, that was both luxurious and full of natural charm - Ulaman Eco Luxury Retreat 🏡. The hotel is located on Ulaman Road, which is a rare quiet place compared to the busy Kuta and Seminyak✨. It takes about an hour to get here by taxi from the airport. Although the journey is a bit long, the beautiful scenery along the way is also part of the trip. The surrounding area is full of greenery, and you are immediately surrounded by the fresh air of nature as soon as you get out of the car.
The location of the hotel is really great. Although it is a bit far from the more bustling areas of Bali, it is this feeling of being "away from the hustle and bustle" that makes you feel relaxed. The decor of Ulaman Eco Luxury Retreat is very close to nature, with lots of wooden elements and green plants. Walking into the hotel is like walking into a large botanical garden🌿. The front desk staff is very warm and friendly, and they also offer welcome drinks🎉. The hotel has a full range of facilities: there is a huge swimming pool where you can enjoy sunbathing by the pool. The gym and yoga room are equipped with new equipment, so fitness enthusiasts should not miss it.
The room design is also perfectly integrated with the natural environment. Each room has large floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can see the green scenery outside while lying in bed🏞️. The room I stayed in was about 50 square meters, very spacious, and the bed was very comfortable, so I slept until I woke up naturally💤. There is also a small balcony in the room where you can have breakfast or read a book. What surprised me the most was the bathroom, with its open-air design that allows you to take a bath while looking at the stars✨, which is so romantic.
There are many recommended restaurants around the hotel, such as Swarga Rasa by De Moksha, a traditional Balinese restaurant. If you like a more sophisticated atmosphere, you can go to Lenon's Coffee and Bar for a cup of coffee☕️. In addition, Warung Kita Dewi Sri is also a very cost-effective local restaurant. If you like to try new things, you must try these places🌯. If you have time, you can also go to the nearby beach for a walk and feel the sea breeze and sand of Bali.
However, even the most beautiful places have some small flaws. Although the location of the hotel is quiet, transportation to the city center or major attractions may not be very convenient, so you need to make arrangements for a taxi in advance🚗. In addition, because the hotel is more environmentally friendly, some facilities are not as modern and powerful as those in five-star hotels in big cities, but this is also its unique feature.
Overall, the few days at Ulaman Eco Luxury Retreat were really unforgettable, and it is very suitable for those who want to relax and get close to nature to experience a real vacation.
