最
先發現峇里島無窮魅力的旅客,主要是來
自澳洲的滑浪好手;在八十年代他們為了
海上的巨浪而來,住宿在庫塔海灘旁邊、
當地人稱為「losmen」的家庭式旅舍,享
受滑浪之樂。不旋踵,其他旅客也被峇里島的自然美景
和獨特文化所吸引,蜂擁而至。今天,當地的滑浪活動
和景色仍然充滿吸引力,酒店設施更是突飛猛進,全球
最高級的度假別墅和度假村雲集,為旅客提供無懈可
擊的服務和頂級的水療設施。
過去十年間,峇里島的酒店設施經歷了脫胎換骨的
變化。曾幾何時,旅客的住宿選擇大多是國際五星級酒
店集團,或平民旅館和海灘小屋。島上首個匯集多個度
假村的地點,在峇里島南端Nusa Dua和金巴蘭附近
的Bukit半島上出現;這裡鋪上白色細沙的天然沙灘,
吸引四季酒店等多個國際知名酒店集團到此發展。
進入21世紀,峇里島上湧現眾多新類型的酒店。由於
投資者對發展前景充滿信心,六星級酒店、豪華精品酒
店,以及展現最時尚設計或峇里傳統風格的度假別墅,如
雨後春筍般湧現,讓旅客可以不同方式體驗豪華的熱帶
生活。無論是印度洋海景還是稻田風光,入住這些酒店或
度假村的旅客均能欣賞到一覽無遺的自然景致。
這些經過精心設計的世界級度假村,將時尚典雅的
設計融入當地文化特色,巧妙地糅合了豪華氣派和峇里
島簡約的傳統建築風格,本身已是值得一遊的旅遊勝
地。充滿美感的設計、一流的設備和完善的服務,加上
無邊際泳池、美食餐廳、精美的日用品和奢華的衛浴設
備,令住客得到頂級的享受。
這些遍佈峇里島上的國際著名度假村,正朝著高
級格調和精緻服務的方向發展。Starwood旗下的精
選酒店品牌St. Regis,於2008年9月在峇里島開設
旗下首個亞洲度假村。坐落於Nusa Dua海灘上的
St. Regis Bali(房價由750美元起,www.stregis.
com/bali/),為住客提供無微不至的服務,但不忘保
留當地的傳統特色。度假村內的123間客房均提供配合
客人需要的管家服務,不少房間還附有私人泳池。旅客
也可以在面積達3,668平方米的湖灘暢泳,以及在熱帶
園林中親近大自然。
想選擇低調一點、價錢較相宜的度假村,可考慮由
印尼人經營的Bali Khama(房價由242美元起,
www.thebalikhama.com)。這家位於Nusa Dua南
端Tanjung Benoa的度假村,擁有60間茅屋頂的度
假別墅和花園套房,其裝潢風格把新舊風格共冶一爐,

還有半開放式的浴室連接著按摩池,並提供管家服務。
自2007年4月開業以來,Bali Khama吸引了許多喜
愛沙灘別墅和寧靜海洋的蜜月情侶和家庭入住。
現今,峇里島已儼然成為獨立式別墅的代名詞。這
類度假別墅有不少位於私人莊園內,但近年亦興起設
於度假村內、設備齊全的單幢別墅,於2008年3月在
Bukit南端懸崖上開業的Karma Kandara(房價由
750美元起,www.karmakandara.com)便是例子。
此度假村華麗而低調的風格,令社會名流、年輕的派對
常客以至一般家庭都趨之若鶩,成為峇里島最時尚的
住宿選擇之一。共46幢度假別墅坐落於設有小型泳池
的美麗庭院內,由築有圍牆的全天候走廊相連。位於崖
邊的設施擁有美不勝收的印度洋海景,包括一間設於平
台上的酒吧餐廳和多間水療室,並有纜車接載旅客往返
Nammos Beach Club。

豪,例如於2008年6月開業的豪 華度假村Alila
Villas Uluwatu(房價由750美元起,www.
alilahotels.com),擁有「綠色環球」的可持
續設計認證,開放式設計採用水磨石等取
自當地的材料建造,84間度假別墅與
Bukit半島的草原山丘融為一體,全
部設有私人泳池、美輪美奐的室內及

ustralian surfers were among
the first tourists to discover the
wonders of Bali. They came for
the island’s legendary surf and stayed
in family-run guesthouses, or losmen,
on Kuta beach. But it wasn’t long before
other travellers were drawn to Bali’s
natural beauty and unique culture. The
surf and scenery are the same, but the
lush, tropical island now offers some
of the world’s most sophisticated villas
and resorts.
International resort brands infiltrating
Bali are increasingly exclusive in nature.
Starwood’s luxurious St. Regis opened
its first Asian resort on the island in
September 2008. The St. Regis Bali on
Nusa Dua beach (www.stregis.com/Bali),
with rates starting from US$750, oozes
refinement and immaculate service,
while respecting local traditions. All 123
guestrooms have private butler service
and many have their own pools. For a
more low-key option, the Indonesian-
owned Bali Khama (Rates from US$242.
www.thebalikhama.com) fits the bill.
Situated at Nusa Dua’s southern end in
Tanjung Benoa, it features 60 thatched-
roof villas and garden suites.
Some of Bali’s villas are set within
privately owned compounds and, more
recently, some all-inclusive villas can
be found within a resort. The latest
complex in the Karma all-villa series
is perched on Bukit’s southernmost
cliffs. Since opening in March 2008,
Karma Kandara (Rates from US$750.
www.karmakandara.com) has become
one of Bali’s most fashionable resorts.
The 46 villas are set in gardens with
plunge pools. Cliff-edge facilities that
offer jaw-dropping ocean views include a
terrace bar-restaurant and spa treatment
rooms, while an inclinator transports
guests to the nearby Nammos Beach Club.
Alila Villas Uluwatu (Rates from
US$750. www.alilahotels.com), which
opened in June 2008, is luxurious, yet
eco-friendly, boasting Green Globe certi-
fication for Environmentally Sustainable
Design. This open-air, contemporary
hideaway is crafted from locally sourced
materials, such as terrazzo stone. The
84 villas have private pools, indoor-
outdoor bathrooms and butler service.
In the less-visited northeast, Spa Village
Resort Tembok (Rates from US$400.
www.spavillage.com/tembokbali) takes
spa culture to another level. Authentic
Balinese experiences derive from
close personal interaction and tradi-
tional therapies such as the Penganten
Melukat (pre-wedding body cleansing)
are spa options.
Seminyak, north of Kuta-Legian, has
emerged as a premier address for villas
and boutique accommodation. One of the
hottest addresses is Anantara Seminyak
(Rates from US$515. www.anantara.com)
which opened in April 2008. The beach-
front Anantara has 59 suites featuring
contemporary Balinese décor, high-tech
gadgetry and balcony Jacuzzis.
Opened in February 2009, Le Grande
Suites Pecatu-Bali (Rates from US$235.
www.legrandesuites.com) is part of the
all-new Pecatu Indah Resort. Surrounded
by the New Kuta Golf course, this chic
boutique hotel of suites, deluxe rooms
and villas hosts international conferences
and adjoins Klapa Beach Club.
Development is advancing north of
Seminyak into Petitenget, Canggu and
towards the west. Opened in December
last year, Alila Villas Soori (Rates from
US$600. www.alilahotels.com/soori), is
the region’s first luxury all-pool villa
boutique resort and features 48 villas,
beautiful mountain views and exotic
black-sand beaches.
