island to Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan - located just outside the popular Indonesian town of Ubud, made famous by the movie Eat, Pray, Love starring Julia Roberts. Indonesia’s Ubud region is magical. Landlocked in the middle region on the island of Bali, it has lush dense tropical forests, meandering rivers, a quaint town, interesting architecture and genuine sensibility. Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan considered all of these elements of Balinese culture, and then built a magnificent resort. Hugging the Ayung River, and embracing the existing rice fields, you know you have arrived somewhere different, and special and considerate, as you are welcomed to the property by one of the most awe-inspiring, jaw dropping and famous pieces of architecture in the world.

The design touches in the dining and spa pavilion, including the artwork, multi-story floating staircase and Balinese antiquities are worthy of your time. A guide took us on the Rice Bowl Journey Walk, showing us around the 7-hectare property on foot. It was a memorable way to experience the working rice fields, surrounding jungle, a thousand or more bird species (along with a few really big spiders!), river life and to see the lotus petal Dharma Shanti Bale for yoga and meditation. The walk ended at the Sacred River Spa, where I reveled in their signature Rice and Spice treatment that began with a body scrub using organic rice flour and freshly crushed wild ginger, followed by a full body massage - during which WWW.NICHE.STYLE . 91
