Hanging Gardens of Bali Bali - Indonesia The Hanging Gardens of Bali is the Ultimate Destination. The Hanging Gardens of Bali was conceived in 2003 and completed in 2005. The concept was to create something authentic in the heart of the Balinese jungle: an immersive experience in a natural tropical environment. There is something magical about the first time you fall in love. That fluttery feeling in your chest, the intoxicating blend of joy and excitement. Experience that exhilaration all over again when you stay at the resplendent Hanging Gardens of Bali, located just north of Ubud. Set within a verdant tropical rainforest, this 44-villa property offers the perfect backdrop for a romantic getaway. The hotel’s infinity pool is suspended over a dense rainforest, making you feel as if you’re floating above the treetops. In the evenings, enjoy a decadent dinner by the surreally beautiful pool or – for more privacy – on a Balinese mini-boat in your villa’s own infinity pool. Not to be missed is the hotel’s luxurious spa, with its extensive menu of therapeutic treatments, each carefully designed to refresh and rejuvenate your senses. Other soulful experiences to be enjoyed here include yoga classes and visits to the neighbouring Dalem Segara Temple. Round off a day of romance in a private villa, which has been thoughtfully designed to reflect Bali’s natural beauty. Each villa is spacious and airy, outfitted with modern interiors and accented with traditional Balinese touches.

Ginger House Museum Hotel Kochi Kochi - India Ginger House Museum Hotel (built in an originally 200 year old ginger spice warehouse) has tastefully designed themed rooms that await you. Very woody and rustic, each room is completed with a mix and match of various antique furnishings from the flooring to the ceiling. One would easily be tempted to place an immediate purchase for the gorgeous items displayed in the 8 rooms. Each room has a different theme and all the different and unique architecture and furnishing is very traditional in each setting. The rooms are equipped with extremely modern fittings for the shower and toilets, with temperature control and Hi-tech ablution variations which will definitely pamper your personal hygiene care. The ‘wow factor’ begins the moment guest sets foot inside the palatial inner courtyard of the Ginger House Museum Hotel. Greeted by a spectacular 108 feet long original Snake Boat, the iconic ‘Thiruvaranmula - Punnamthottam No. 5’ is the oldest naval boat of its kind in Kerala. It was recovered from an old Chettinadu palace and once hosted a hundred oarsmen in the state’s traditional Vallamkali races - the world’s largest team sport which dates back over four hundred years. Another interesting fact, the location of the Restaurant, is where ginger was laid out to dry and make it into a dry spice 200 years ago. The very scenic view of the Vembanad Lake/partial ocean view, which then connects to the Arabian Sea along with the Malabar Coast, makes it a romantic moment of your stay.
