Pullman Launches in Bali
It seems like it’s been under construction forever, so it’s good to hear that the Pullman Bali Legian Nirwana is finally officially opening it’s doors this month. The massive project at the end of Kuta Beach seems like it’s been going for years. The press release says the location is on Legian Beach, but as it’s on Pantai Kuta road – albeit the end of it, I think of the location as Kuta. Such quibbles aside, the Pullman Bali looks like it could be a very enjoyable place to stay in the Kuta / Legian area. In addition to the hotel amenities, there’s a large retail component to the development.
You can find more information and book your room at the Accor web site, or check for discounted rates at Agoda.
Villa Sasoon in Candidasa
I came across Villa Sasoon during a recent stay in Candidasa on Bali’s east coast. The area doesn’t have much in the way of posh resorts, although the luxe Amankila is just down the road in Manggis.
I got a tour of a two bedroom villa from the front desk manager. It was quite an impressive place. The entry was flanked by a large dining table and even larger kitchen. A few steps down from the entry is a large living area with several comfortable chairs, a sofa and a massive coffee table made from a large slab of wood. The living room has folding glass doors that allow it to be completely open to the central courtyard, or closed in case of bad weather. Beyond the living room is an outdoor patio with lounge chairs and an outdoor dining table. A small plunge pool sits in the middle of the courtyard. Opposite the living room is the master bedroom, with a large bathroom that has a huge bathtub inside and a shower outdoors. To one side of the pool is the smaller bedroom.

The big professional kitchen.
There are four one- and two-bedroom villas in all. There is no restaurant, but you’re just a short stroll away from all the great restaurants that line Candidasa’s main road. If you want to order room service, they have an arrangement with the hotel next door, and if you’d like something fresh-cooked in the villa’s impressive kitchen they can arrange for a chef on a day’s notice.
Check the Villa Sasoon web site for more information, or check Hotels Combined for discount rates.
