Last year I stumbled across the Puri Sunia twenty minutes outside of Ubud.

It is a new resort that is very beautifully designed and connected to greenery in a very Bali way.

I stay in a deluxe room and it is deluxe. Much better than some of the other similar rated resorts in this region.

The spa area is good and everyone is welcomed with a complimentary foot spa massage. It really does work – massage is relaxing.

You could simply whittle time away at the resort starting with early morning yoga and stretching. If you want to slide in and out of the pool like I did, you can order excellent pool side dining.

 

I think you should venture into town for a few “must experience” in Ubud.

Great restaurants, music and bars and funky art shops, Ubud is a well known in-land town higher than the better known beachside town of Kuta near Denpasar.

 

 

I love Ubud for it’s organic cafes, it’s colour, it’s history, and clothing shops.  A friend of mine has her own female clothing range called Goddess on the Go and she has the material made out of wood! Great fabric, nice and cool and easy to wash. Say I said hi if you make it to her shop.
