Jetsetter review
There are more than 50,000 hotel rooms in Bali, so travelers have more than enough options. But for luxury-seekers who expect privacy, peace and authentically friendly service, The Balé is a clear front-runner.
Just 20 minutes from the international airport in Denpasar, The Balé has 29 minimalist pavilions, purposely designed for indoor/outdoor living. Each has a private garden, pool, outdoor daybed, sleek hand-styled furnishings and Zen-inspired touches, like orchids and indoor and outdoor showers.
Watch the Bhutan-trained head chef cook up fresh seafood in the open kitchen at Faces restaurant.Geger Beach is walkable, but most guests prefer to stay on the property and lounge at the multilevel infinity swimming pool, which has sea views. It’s steps away from Faces, the alfresco and healthier-than–you-know restaurant run by a charismatic chef.
Upon arriving at the spa, each guest meets with a consultant to customize a program suited to his or her needs. For me, it’s all about yoga, meditation, pranayama, healing massage and energy treatments. For others it may include full-on detox programs, tai chi and martial arts. And in keeping with the wellness theme, Bliss restaurant at the spa offers cuisine infused with local healing herbs.
Although you don’t have to be a spa aficionado to fall in love with The Balé, chances are you’ll leave feeling energized and healthier than when you arrived. The ambience inspires you to surrender completely to the stress-reducing offerings at this smart lifestyle retreat. Trust me — don’t resist.

6 months agoWhat I liked
The service was the best we have experienced in Bali. Everyone had a smile and was more than accommodating. The decor and landscaping was lovely...all great style and well groomed. We were upgraded to a delux pavilion and it was spectacular. The little beach area was good too, we were happy to have a designated area since the public seating usually got crowded.
What I disliked
Obviously out of their control but the construction project across the street was enormous and was disturbing. Also the villas close to the road are just that, too close to the road. We could hear the traffic easily.

2 years agoWhat I liked
The property was very clean. The size of the plunge pool is fantastic and much bigger than in most other resorts on the island. The in-room amenities (soaps, scents, etc.) are very good. There was a jar of cookies for us.
What I disliked
There was no iPod player. They charged for water, after telling me all soft drinks in the minibar were free. Too much concrete and stone — not enough greenery.
