Inside each villa its a full-sized pool on a private terrace overlooking the bay, as well as a private bathroom featuring an ocean-facing soaking tub, While it might be tempting to stay in all day and order in-room dining, the resort has six dining outlets, including classic Balinese restaurant Rumari, and beach bar and grill Loloan. Other fun experiences include cooking classes at The Farm Terrace and an intimate dining establishment called The Secret Cave, which serves customized menus for special occassions.
