Unggasan: KARMA KANDARA RESORT
by ancient_traveler
Karma Kandara, perched upon a clifftop, 100 metres above Bali's pristine southern beaches and rolling surf, is blessed with an eye-boggling, unobstructed view of the Indian Ocean. The sheer cliffs and clear horizon reflect the purity of the natural surroundings, and the expansive motion picture of crashing waves is a reminder that the ocean and the serenity of this location will roll on forever.
Karma Kandara engenders a sense of back to nature spiritualism combined with cutting edge architecture and facilities. Such is its magnetic appeal that no visitor arrives without a gasping appreciation of the stunning scenery and laid-back ambience, nor leaves without an overpowering desire to return. All of the Karma Kandara, stand-alone villas are luxuriously appointed to maximise the breathtaking Indian Ocean view. Each has been meticulously planned to offer the absolute in privacy, and each features a private walled garden complete with an infinity edge swimming pool bordered by a timber sundeck.
UNGGASAN: NAMMOS BEACH CLUB
by ancient_traveler
Styled after a whimsical folly on some Greek island in the Aegean, complete with indigenous grass roof and bamboo platform, Nammos Beach Club presides over a pristine sweep of white sand and a tranquil turquoise lagoon whose only access is via Karma Kandara’s private inclinator, which carries guests effortlessly up and down 100 meters of sheer limestone cliff.
The raised bamboo decking houses a dedicated kitchen, complete with traditional wood-fired pizza oven, and a bar stocked with top shelf liquors, champagne and not to forget, ice-cold beer. Guests can lounge on daybeds, in private pavilions or perch on stools at the bar. Two manicured lawns set with sun lounges, on little bluffs above the sand offer a cool spot for dining. And what would a beach club be without freshly caught fish and seafood? To this end, Nammos offers guests the ultimate in authentic just-caught flavour. Seafood selections like lobster, shrimp and other shellfish are farmed in the lagoon – upon a guest making their selection the waiter will don flippers and mask and head out into the lagoon to collect lunch… unless the guest prefers to make a personal selection in which case they can go too.
