The Mulia Resort & Villas, Asian luxury at its best
** Bali, ** one of the most popular Asian destinations of the moment, is no longer just the spiritual and traditional island of years ago.
The most touristic place in Indonesia awaits some of the most exclusive hotels in the world. We chose three of the most popular areas of the island and tell you where to eat and sleep in a luxury key.
UBUD
Sleep: A magical and deluxe trip to Japan
The artistic and 'yogi' center of the island of Bali is this small town surrounded by jungle, rice terraces and charming Balinese temples. Small streets full of shops, yoga centers, spas and restaurants make it up and its surroundings have as many (or more) hotels than the town itself.
Tens of resorts and luxury villas surround Ubud. Among them, a recently opened resort stands out that offers an unparalleled experience: the hotel ** Hoshinoya Bali. **
Lying on the banks of the Pakerisan River and its sacred waters and surrounded by a jungle landscape amazing (recognized as 'World Heritage Landscape' by UNESCO) is this hotel belonging to a Japanese premium group. Three different types of luxury private villas form its accommodation offer.
we sleep in Jayak Villa, a room on one floor overlooking the jungle and the river, composed of a living room surrounded by a kilometric wooden balcony, a bedroom that allows you to see the sunrise from the bed, a bathroom with a Japanese bathtub and direct access to the pool-river that joins all the villas.

Their architecture represents the beauty of Bali. Many doors, details and works in the hotel are the result of traditional artesanal job of the island and its well-known woodcarving.
These details are mixed with Japanese influences that one recognizes immediately: the robes-kimono, the bathroom amenities, the cutlery... And it is that staying at the hotel also means an instant trip to Japanese culture, to calm, to the luxury of details, to the elegance of silence and to the discovery of a delicate well-being.
Every morning, breakfast served in the form of a set, chosen from the menu by each guest, which represents the gastronomy of the chosen country (Japan, Europe, Indonesia...) and offers small and delicious portions of its most representative dishes.
The cuisine is the fruit of exquisite savoir-air. Tea is served every afternoon in the Café Gazebos, some amazing cages available to customers to have a drink, read, or simply relax in the middle of nature.
The days begin and end with yoga classes and stretching and the spa offers massages and treatments that the guest can access through an open funicular. Everything invites you to connect with nature, to respect the sacred and to get a little closer to the essence of the heart of the island. And all this in a very special way.
