From this picture you can see just how lush our grounds in paradise are. This will be more pronounced when you are at the resort, as not only do the grounds have a perimeter fence of bamboo and banana, to enhance that feeling. But the land outside the villas' grounds is so dry (because we get so little rain here in comparison with the south of the island). We actually water our grounds with well water because, strangely, there is a lot of ground water in this area as it lies at the base of Mt. Batur.

In this view, you can also see that each villa has it's own sun lounges plus, of course, the wonderful "Alang Alang" thatched "Bales", all set over lotus / lilly ponds. What is a little harder to see, is that each Bale has the 3 main "Jepun" (Frangipani) tree species around each of them. Our staff will be happy to explain the fauna of this paradise island to you. But we can tell you, as well as fruiting bananas and many coconuts (of course - although we crop most of ours at flowering stage for safety reasons). We have mango trees, papaya trees and an odd "Gawat" fruit tree. The Gawat ("Jew-ert") fruit is very bitter though, but it makes an excellent and unique sorbet ice-cream.
