The Damai, Lovina ****

Hidden in the jungle-clad hills overlooking Bali’s North coast, The Damai is a retreat dedicated to the finer things in life: beauty, tranquility and fabulous food. Here, just a few hours from the airport you feel light years away from the crowds, ready to experience the true Bali in all its splendor. Visit some of the island’s most iconic attractions or find your own hidden gems. Or maybe just lounge by your pool, enjoying views of the volcanoes in distant Java as the tropical breeze brings you fragrant hints from nearby spice plantations.

The Damai is comprised of just 14 villas set in the lush tropical gardens and are decorated with locally sourced materials and artefacts. The villas also offer 24 hour butler service. The award winning restaurant serves organic produce from their on-site farm and offers both Western and Asian menus which change daily. The Spa at Damai offers a range of pampering treatments and beauty services either in the privacy of your villa or in one of the Spa pavilions.
