The centerpiece of the Elysian Boutique Villa Hotel is the dazzling pool, a 25m, Balinese beauty flanked by the Rush Bamboo Restaurant on one side and a row of private cabanas on the other. For those who love the sensation of sand between their toes, the beach is a two-minute walk through leafy palm trees, and although it would be luxurious enough to spend a holiday bouncing between the pool and beach, the stylish town of Seminyak is only ten minutes on foot, giving you easy access to the chic boutiques and galleries. As well as trendy Seminyak, the cultural attractions like Ubud, Tanah Lot, Kintamani and Jimbaran are not to be missed, with the hotel’s enticing spa making for a well-deserved reward upon your return; local therapists utilise traditional therapies to re-calibrate your body, mind and soul
