When people mentioned about Bali, a scene appears in my mind where Julia Roberts cycle through Bali’s artfully ploughed rice terraces in the film “Eat, pray, love”, that a woman’s self-discovery journey to three countries and end her journey in Bali, Indonesia.
It is easy to understand why this island is named as the “Tropical Paradise”, I was totally amazed by the masterpiece of the gods, extraordinary as if done by nature as I stepped on this land.
Bali is always attractive to me, like a magnet. Traveling to this “Island of Gods” has always been a dream for me and I love trying new things. The theme of travel was to experience and explore. Believe or not, this land of mystic healing, the people, and the distinctive Hindu culture will charm you by greeting you with their warmest smile to all the travelers when you arrived on this island.
Today, I'm going to share a perfect accommodation where you can enjoy -- The Ayana Resort and Spa in Bali.

If you are not feeling to go somewhere, then I will suggest you to fill up your swimming trunks, stepping on the finest sand from Ayana’s private beach as the waves crash over you. You can surf and dive in the crystal-clear seawater as the beach is one of the regular host for avid surfer. Enjoy your time on the beach by ordering your favourite drink in the minibar if you wish to stay dry. Have a sunbathe, read and enjoy the spectacular view. Spend your time here with a romantic picnic at the secluded white-sand beach.
