Bali Palms
Slow down among Bali’s rivers and rice fields
Rural Tabanan sets the pace at Bali Palms, where rice fields, traditional villages, forest and river scenery replace the bustle of Bali’s coastal resorts. Spread across more than five acres, the retreat has 11 separate villas looking over the rolling landscape toward the swimming pool, river and trees. Yoga is the named practice, with a studio on site, while a spa and pool leave room for quieter hours between activities. Meals are set menus made with ingredients from the garden and local markets; seasonal alternatives, including dietary options, may be available for an additional charge. Nearby rivers and waterfalls offer a reason to explore beyond the grounds, and the surrounding countryside gives the stay a distinctly local character. Packages start at USD 685, and the center describes complimentary car transportation within a 50-kilometre radius of a guest’s starting point in Bali. Confirm transport and meal details when arranging a stay.
