I have seen just about all there is to see on the island of Bali, know about a lot of the great places to eat and hotels, but I have to admit after reading an article today that I have never heard of or even seen the Ubud Hanging Gardens Hotel. Apparently the hotel & resort has just won the 2008 ASEAN Energy Award for an energy efficient building in the tropical category. This makes the hotel an excellent place to stay for those visitors who are eco-conscious in their choice of hotels. The award was won by the Ubud Hanging Gardens Hotel because it an excellent example of how developers have not destroyed the environment to establish a tourist resort. So, I had a look at their website and truly, this is a magnificent place and worthy of the award. It has38 luxury private pool villas, each with a heated private infinity plunge pool set high in the rice terraces overlooking the Ayung River. This is definitely one of those places where you can relax and soak up the peace and harmony of nature without the howling madness of the heavily-touristed area that is the Kuta Strip.

When you talk about pure luxury in a resort then you can’t go past the newly opened boutique property Anantara Resort in Seminyak. This place eclipses most of those flash places in Nusa Dua. Actually the resort was designed by Anthony Liu of the TonTon architectural firm, responsible for the Bale Resort in Nusa Dua. Located on absolute prime beachfront at the end of Jl. Abimanyu, the resort has 59 suites each with plasma screen TVs, contemporary Asian-inspired furniture, broadband internet connection and spacious baths. But it is more than just another resort. The Anantara has everything you would need without even having to leave the place unless of course you wanted to cruise around the area checking out the locals. Heck, you can do that from your balcony overlooking the beach.

A few people have been asking on the Baliblog Forum about good and reasonably priced accommodation in Bali. Of course there are over a thousand places to choose from but at the moment with the high increase of tourists to Bali it appears this form of accommodation is at a premium. I have always stayed at the Prawita Cottages on Jalan Legian in Kuta mainly because it is a Balinese family-owned and run premises but also a friendly one. It was quite strange how Candika and I stumbled upon this place. It was in 2003 when we returned to Bali after having ten glorious and interesting years in Yogyakarta, Central Java. We stayed at a place in Seminyak at first that was owned by a friend of mine from Yogyakarta, and although it was a nice place, it was a tad expensive and far from the centre of activity. To be honest, Seminyak just wasn’t my scene. So one very hot day we started walking from Jalan Dhayana Pura and headed south checking out the various losmens and hotels along the way. By late afternoon, I was perspiring like a stuck pig at a luau and damn tired. I was just about to give up when Candika said one more and we entered the Prawita Cottages.

These are integral parts of ecotourism and include the promotion of recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation, and creation of economic opportunities for the local communities. Novotel Benoa Bali is the first Accor hotel in Asia to achieve Green Globe Certified, a Green Globe qualification which recognises the hotel’s commitment to successfully implement an integrated Environmental Management …

It seems lately that every time a travel or lifestyle magazine does a reader’s poll then ultimately Bali comes out as a favourite. Bali has won the Best Leisure Destination and the Ritz-Carlton Bali the Best Hotel Recognition in Readers’ Choice Award in DestinAsian. And, rightly so because it is a beautiful island with beautiful people and has a unique and ancient culture. There is so much to offer the traveller or holidaymaker with its terraced rice fields and spectacular beaches. Then there is the excellent range of hotels, activities and the vast array of restaurants to choose from. What I find amazing is how the Balinese themselves even manage to preserve their traditions and culture in the continual onslaught of ever-growing tourism. But, they do.
