One of the most beautiful and dramatic places in all of Bali is high atop the cliffs on the southern coast of the Bukit Peninsula, that long ridge of towering limestone that rise 100 metres up above the crashing waves below. Here, located in the confines of a five-star resort and enjoying full access to all the amenities that such a privilege brings, is the very private Villa Cantik. Meaning ‘beautiful’ in the Indonesian language, its architecture, design and setting couldn’t be better named, with three large en-suite bedrooms, a massive indoor living space, and a private pool and sun deck outside. The resort offers to take the enjoyment up a notch with a dedicated and award-winning spa, a kids’ club, and a fantastic Italian restaurant and bar sitting next to a huge freeform pool on the cliff edge. And that’s not all, because a mechanical funicular is there to scoot you up and down the side of the cliff to a picture perfect white-sand beach below and a stunningly rustic private beach club where days are measures in lost hours lying in the sun. Here is a place to totally lose count of everything.
