South Pacific, the popular musical based on James Michener’s Pulitzer
Prize winning drama, Tales of the South Pacific, extols Bali Ha’i as an exotic
paradise.
Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart, you'll hear it call you:
"Come away... Come away."
Any night, any day,
In your heart, you'll hear it call you:
"Come away... Come away."
mesmerizing
captivating
It is the largest tourist destination in the country and is renowned
for its highly developed arts, including traditionaland modern dance, sculpture, painting, leather, metalworking,
and music.
This time, we were in Bali for a five day R&R in Ubud - located among rice paddies and steep ravines in the central foothills of the Gianyar Regency.
Rising early, we don our daily uniform - bathing suits and sarongs,
coconut oil and sunblock - then head to breakfast in an open air pavilion
surrounded by a large koi and lotus pond.
Over a pot of Balinese Java coffee, we decide what to breakfast on – YUM!
It’s either back to our private villa pool for a leisurely dip or
out for a meandering stroll - within the lush resort grounds or out by the
roadside stalls and boutiques.

Everywhere we walked we were greeted by the warm and open hearted smiles of local Balinese. Everywhere we ate we were served the best local dishes.
We were completely satiated - body, heart and mind.
The best treat Uma had for me was their breath taking yoga studio and the fragrant kneading of their gifted spa staff.
