A need to refresh and revitalise brought me to Bali again, and this retreat seemed like a perfect option. It was also a chance to explore West Bali, which has its own distinct charm. Kelapa Retreat was perfect for a week of refresh and revitalise. The garden villa with a private pool that could be accessed directly from the room was a highlight and a perfect start to the day. The main pool is adjacent to the Tides Restaurant, and Spa, and is shaded by palm trees. The beach stretches for miles, with its pristine black sand, and the ocean was warm and gentle. The staff were so helpful and friendly from beginning to end - the booking process, the drive from the airport and return, restaurant and spa staff - the very best. On the last night the new head chef offered to make a special nasi goreng for me as a farewell - delightful, and delicious. It was good to get out on a half day tour to the turtle sanctuary, to Jembrana market, to the Banyan Tree and the Puri Rambut Siwi. Overall, I couldn't have asked for anything more - it was a perfect retreat.
