Le Nusa Beach Club ★★★★

It’s no secret that Bali is a one-of-a-kind destination for travellers yearning to escape the doldrums of everyday modern life. In fact, it’s fair to say that the islands have served as a remedy to the stresses of the urban rat race for decades; open expanses of vibrant mangrove forest and the sparkling ocean waves surround you on every side. So, I hear you ask: what’s the best way to enjoy this tropical paradise? If it’s a taste of true Balinese life you’re seeking, there’s no place better than the superior comfort of Le Nusa Beach Club****, ensconced on the island of Nusa Lembongan.

The hotel is home to only five villas, ensuring an uncompromised feeling of intimacy and seclusion. Whilst staying amidst the architecture of the polished woods and Indonesian alang-alang roofs, guests can admire traditional arts adorning the walls and access a whole host of top-of-the-range amenities. All of this exploring gets the stomach rumbling! When the hunger pangs strike, the restaurant’s chefs cook up a delicious menu brimming with high-quality Indonesian and international dishes for breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner.

Now it’s time for the finer things in life. After a morning stretched out on a sun lounger topping up the tan, head to the crisp coolness of the wellbeing centre for a touch of pampering. If you're lucky enough to be staying for over a week, VeryChic are throwing in a complimentary one-hour long Balinese massage for two – how can you resist? With so much on offer here, we wouldn’t blame you for never leaving Le Nusa Beach Club****… but you simply must if you’re going to explore the rest of heavenly Bali!
