DINING

For stylish, French-influenced dining, Dava offers a four or six-course degustation, with dishes including pan toasted black cod, crab cannelloni and sautéed foie gras, best enjoyed alongside one of the 50 classic or contemporary cocktails shaken up at the intimate Martini Bar. If you’re not feeling the James Bond vibe, there’s also excellent wine – something often hard to come by in Bali. For more traditional Indonesian cuisine, thatch-roofed Padi has an open Asian heritage-style kitchen. It also hosts weekly Mini Legong and Kecak performance, framed by terraced lotus ponds.
SPA ON THE ROCKS & THALASSOTHERAPY
Treatments at the Spa on the Rocks include healing, anti-ageing and soothing packages designed for couples. But if you’re not in the mood for a black rice bath, lava stone massage, coral algae scrub down or 24-point reflexology, there’s also stress-relieving thalassotherapy. Water is drawn directly from the ocean, and heated to temperatures designed to increase blood circulation and rebalance vital minerals. Amongst its other restorative properties, it’s said to help combat the effects of jetlag.
