Bali : Dream Hotels for Paradise Holidays

webmaster — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 10:42:46 +0000

Paradise, everything is said. Bali seems to be the ultimate bobo destination, with its beaches, its luxurious resorts and its generous climate (in October, temperatures are around 90°F). But it’s a shame that no one really knows Bali for its beautiful lands, filled with ancient temples and rice fields giving a mysterious and soothing atmosphere. There’s an opportunity to explore more deeply the topic by staying in one of the dream hotels suggested by Hoosta collection.

Family travel to the end of the world

webmaster — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 13:04:55 +0000

Your parents are getting older and you are wondering on what great beautiful trip you could take them? For dream holidays, take them to Bali, to the Karma Kandara. This five-star hotel offers a heavenly view on the ocean and enjoys a location on the heights of one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. Properly alined, 46 villas of 2 to 4 rooms await you, private pool included, feet almost dipping into the water!

To fully enjoy your stay and also bring the grand-parents, children and cousins along, Hoosta magazine suggests you booked the Grand Cliff Front Residence with five rooms and a panoramic view! With the decoration, you will fall for the zen Balinese spirit, completed with tasty-colored contemporary furniture (cinnamon, chocolate, amber).

All the villas, including the Grand Cliff, are composed of large living rooms, a wooden terrace overlooking the ocean and wide windows providing pleasant daylight and refreshing contact with nature. To feast as you always should, go to the “Di Mare” restaurant specialized in Mediterranean cuisine. In the evening, on the heights of the resort, you can start with chic pre-dinner drinks at the “Temple Bar” along some tapas and a nice glass of wine (the Karma Kandara also owns a great wine cellar).

A little extra: The Nammos Beach Club to enjoy the sunlight and sea spray in lovely little bamboo pavilions, settled right on the beach. The hotel organizes many activities: snorkeling, catamaran rides to the neighboring islands, helicopter flights etc., not to mention the “3 Monkeys Kids Club & Pool” for children!

Rates: From €703 for the Luxury Pool Villa (for 2) to €5,472 for the Grand Cliff Front Residence (5 rooms) during the High season (from July 15th to September 15th).

Ubud Hanging Gardens: the mystical gardens of Babylon

webmaster — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 14:11:11 +0000

On one of the world’s most beautiful islands, in the heart of a lush vegetation hides the Ubud Hanging Gardens, a luxury hotel perched on the heights of Ubud, in front of the Pura Penataran Dalem Segara temple and near the Ayung river. Its amazing multi-story architecture is reminiscent of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, no less than the world’s second wonder…

The Ubud Hanging Gardens bears the appropriate name. Perched up 850 meters in the air, the hotel truly is hidden among the Balinese virgin forest. The magnificent surrounding gardens were designed by William Warren and John Pettigrew, two landscape architects. A private funicular awaits you to reach this Mountain of Marvel and access the comfort of the hotel.

Once you are there, you will be able to relive the legend and play king and queen for the night, according to the legend of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The story has it that Nabuchodonosor II, king of Babylon, had a magical and spectacular garden designed for his wife Amytis of Media where she liked to wander. The Ubud exudes the same magic, with a stunning view on the valley in addition.

In the resort, 38 dream rooms and villas await you. Perfectly integrated in the verdant nature, they all have a private pool (in case the large two-level infinity pool of the hotel isn’t enough!). To make the magic and legend last longer, have a treatment for two in the hotel’s Ayung spa located near the river baring the same name, where ancestral treatments are given in indoor/outdoor premises to stay in touch with nature.

A little extra: Lower down the river, the Bukit Becik, bar of the hotel, is the ideal spot to appreciate the sunset.

Rates: From 300 to 500 euros per night.
