Bali accommodation are comfortable and luxury

You can book The Villas on a variety of spa packages. We chose the Detox followed by the Rest and Restore, making up an 11 day break. The Detox package removes all food from the diet and you live on pills and drinks for several days, plus washing out your insides twice a day. Some people lose a lot of weight, we didn't although there is a lot of weight to lose. However, there was certainly a feeling of well-being and that "heavy" feeling inside had gone.

The Rest and Restore package includes massage every day, and on two days an island tour (not the usual hotel tour where the guide takes you to places that will sell you poor quality stuff at inflated prices and give him a commission but a tour that takes you into the parts of Bali that you would not ordinarily see such as rice terraces, a volcano and a traditional family house) and an activity day - mountain biking, white water-rafting or horse-riding on the beach. We swapped the activities for more massage.The package included two meals in the Spa's genuinely excellent restaurant (at prices a fraction of a nearby restaurant where the food wasn't so good) and a barbecue in the Villa.

Tourism employs about half of Bali's population and Bali accounts for 40 per cent of the tourist numbers in Indonesia. After the bombing, total tourism arrivals to Indonesia for the first 10 months of last year reached only 3.02 million, a drop of 15.4 per cent compared with the same period just one year earlier.
