An all-villa retreat
amid the action of Seminyak
IT MAY BE LOCATED in the heart of Bali’s happening neighborhood
of designer boutiques, art galleries, swish restaurants, and some of the
hottest nightspots, but the Elysian is as tranquil as resorts come. Tucked away
in Seminyak, 26 villas are ringed by towering palm trees, giving it a tropical
appeal far removed from the bustling street outside.
Each of the spacious pool villas features a master bedroom
with a plush king-size bed and an enormous bathroom with a sunken tub. They are
decked out with high-tech toys, like complimentary laptops and Wi-Fi, a Bose
Sound Dock, an iPad and IPod, and an apple TV to enjoy personal media content. If
you’re having trouble dragging yourself away from your quarters, Guest Services
are at your beck and call to organize everything from day trips to the interior
of the island to a reservation at the property’s spa. Other than your own
private pool, you can also take a dip in the resort’s 25-meter-long swimming
pool, set right in the center of the property and flanked by curtained cabanas
on one side and a dining terrace on the other.
Nearby are the clubhouse and the spa, a calming hideaway
with contemporary, Zen-inspired interiors, bamboo furniture in an earthy
palette of brown and green, and treatment rooms enveloped by silk-paneled walls
where tensions melt a way under the skillful hands of Balinese therapists. Apart
from a wide range of wellness rituals, the spa also offer beauty treatments
utilizing internationally renowed products that will leave you glowing.
Dining at the Elysian is also a treat. The alfresco eatery
Rush Bamboo Restaurant & Bar delivers an impeccable sandwiches to local
specialities, carefully prepared using the freshest local organic a fully
catered, candlelit dinner in the privacy of your villa.
