A thatched Balinese bale overlooking a panorama of rice fields and open to the evening breeze a courtyard that combines temple carving with relaxing recreational lounging space are enduring features of a distinctive “Bali-style”. Shimmering pavilions open verandah living rooms that invite the outside landscaping in–all are part of the Balinese tropical living experience.
