Soori Bali is a short distance from a long stretch of beaches, offering guests a chance to get to know Bali’s dramatic coastline near the authentic culture of the rural heartland. This resort is a beautifully designed escape, inviting you to spend as much of your vacation relaxing and unplugging from the stresses of day-to-day life.

Visits to Tabanan aren’t complete without a guided trek through the lovely countryside. You’ll see abundant rice paddies, coconut trees swaying in the breeze, and rushing rivers. Visitors to this area should also plan to visit Tanah Lot, one of Indonesia’s best known spiritual sites. This shrine was built on an outcropping that juts out into the water, allowing for the waves to crash around its base. This 15th-century shrine was built in homage to Varuna, the Hindu god of the sea, and is one of the most-photographed sights on an already hugely photogenic island.

Soori Bali also emphasizes environmental sustainability with its locally sourced building materials. The architecture blends traditional Balinese style with streamlined, modern elegance. There’s also a lengthy swimming pool with clear, blue-green water.

There are a total of 48 villas. You can choose from views of the rice terraces and mountains or the crashing waves of the nearby beach. Larger parties who want more than one bedroom should consider the residences, or the lavish 10-bedroom Soori Bali estate. No matter which villa you choose, you’ll have your own mini pool and lovely view.

All of the villas offer minibars. They also all have everything you need for a comfortable stay, including air conditioning and Wi-Fi. Soori Bali has lots of helpful services for busy travelers, including laundry and dry cleaning. If you don’t feel like strolling to the dining room, you can easily order convenient room service.

The breakfast menu rotates on a daily basis and includes gourmet coffees and teas, all served in the resort’s Indonesian restaurant. There are two other restaurants on the grounds, including one that offers Western options and another that focuses on healthy fare. Healthy living doesn’t stop at the dining room. Head to the spa for a rejuvenating day of treatments meant to invigorate you, body and soul. Browse a menu that emphasizes massage, meditation, and procedures meant to improve longevity.

Soori Bali caters to all sorts of travelers — if you have some work to get to done, visit the business center or book one of the meeting rooms. There’s also a babysitter available for traveling families. For fitness buffs, the resort provides a convenient fitness center stocked with a good variety of equipment and a serene workout room.
