Fantastically opulent architecture and gardens - a very private, quiet and beautiful resort. Everywhere you look, you could pose in highly Instagrammable ways without even trying. (If that’s what you wanted to do). There are (deliberately) ruined vine-covered stone archways, and exotic calabash trees. There are five-metre high doors, marble staircases, fish ponds… all pretty amazing as the place has only been open for about a year, and yet the 120-odd private pool villas and the gardens and trees all look like they’ve been there for a couple of decades but are beautifully fresh inside. We went up to the Akasa Restaurant terrace high on the cliff, to have drinks and nibblies and play Scrabble while watching the sunset. An absolute must do while you are staying there - it is one of the most spectacular evening cocktail spots in Bali. The Akasa restaurant Chef de Cuisine Joan Achour, has designed a delightful set of bar snacks that are very imaginative. Joan dropped by our table to see if we liked them, as apparently they were new on the menu that night, and we were the first to order them. I would also recommend the Gajah Mada cocktail, named after the famous 14th century Indonesian military leader who apparently conducted his own version of the Red Wedding on the King of Sunda. It’s made of a single malt whisky, fennel seed, Campari, and, I think, dried fig-infused red vermouth. Strong and powerfully-flavoured. On our last night, we ate at the Akasa, seated at the best table in the restaurant (the left-hand corner of the terrace) to watch the sunset. A warning about that table, however - while sun was setting, almost everyone in the place also wanted a photo of themselves from that spot, and for 15 minutes or so, we were surrounded by a crowd of couples with iPhones! Wonderful food, but be prepared for a fairly expensive bill. The whole place runs on a butler service through WhatsApp. You order room service, housekeeping, buggy pickups, etc, through WhatsApp. It works pretty well. The Pandemic and the fact it’s a new resort mean there are not yet many trained staff - the Spa in particular seemed not yet fully up to speed in its operation. All up, an interesting experience I would heartily recommend - by next season I’m sure the staff training will be fully settled in.
