Luxury and Romance in Bali: Kupu Kupu Barong Villas and Tree Spa


Located in the heart of Bali, overlooking the Ayung River valley and rice paddies, is a 5-star hotel nestled amid lush tropical gardens where relaxation and restoration are the order of the day: Kupu Kupu Barong Villas and Tree Spa. Rated as one of Bali’s finest boutique hotels, this resort offers everything to pamper and soothe you, body and soul; and if that soul is in the mood for romance, that’s all to the good, as Kupu Kupu prides itself on being a honeymoon destination par excellence. Settle into your private space, with expansive views of the valley and your infinity pool, and the cares of the world just seem to slip away. Have an intimate “floating” dinner for two, surrounded by candlelight and flower petals…or “flock together” in a “bird’s nest” above the trees, where you feel suspended in the balmy air.


Plan a visit to the Mango Tree Spa, where treatment formulas and processes are drawn from L’Occitaine’s grand herbarium, a source of hundreds of essential oils and natural remedies. Here, technology takes a back seat: massages are hands-on, not done by rote or machines; saunas are mini-palaces of beautiful ceramic tile. Beauty, in fact, is all around you here: not just the breathtaking natural surroundings but priceless carvings and furnishings of teak and bamboo, the finest and softest bedding and fabrics to snuggle in, and the ultimate in secluded privacy to spend in meditation, renewal, and refreshment. Swim, soak, or sip — just say the word, and Kupu Kupu’s staff will do its best to make your getaway completely perfect
