This stunning, sloping resort has perfectly maintained grounds that rest beneath a canopy of skyscraping palms. There are two types of bungalows: the Balinese cottages have slanted roofs with plenty of thatch, and the Thai-style units have private outdoor whirlpools. It is the only resort on the island with a swimming pool (although with continuous construction, this may no longer be true). Free snorkeling gear and delicious food are extra bonuses.
