Turtle Island Bali

Tanjung Benoa is very famous for Bali water sports and Turtle Island Bali, is one of the activities one can visit during your Bali trip. This is my 4th time in Bali and there are so many beautiful places to visit. 

Greeted by the turtle

We paid $35 each to visit Turtle Island. A bit pricey and certainly not value for money. Together with our guide, we rode a motorboat with clear glass bottom and traveled as far as 300-500 meters on sea. From the boat we can enjoy the beautiful underwater scenery without having to dive. Coral reefs, a variety of ornamental fish, marine plants and other marine animals are maintained preserved. The cost included a slice of bread, where we fed the fish while on the boat. This trip was about 15 minutes.

Ubud Hanging Gardens

Hanging Gardens Ubud is a luxury resort built on 3.2 hectares of land situated near Payangan, a village North of Ubud, surrounded by ancient trees, steep terraced gardens and jungle forest. The site was once a barren, 45-degree angled hillside.

Nestled deep in the heart of Ubud’s rich rainforest preserve, this enchanting five star boutique hotel, designed in complete harmony with nature, has 38 private suites and individual villas with thatched roofs, each enhanced by its own luxurious granite infinity pool, rippling into the jungle below.

 Paying a visit to the resort

Now the place is a hotel perched adjacent to layered rice terraces with sweeping views across the Ayung River gorge to the ancient Pura Penataran Dalem Segara temple, Hanging Gardens Ubud’s 38 villas are all constructed in contemporary Balinese style on gravity-defying wooden pillars with thatched alang-alang roofs.

 Count the Flowers

 Such a zen feeling

This stunning split-level infinity pool, lined with Batu Chandi stone features a vast geometric wall of solidified volcanic ash, suspended high over the surrounding jungle. The pool appears to float in its setting, giving swimmers the unique, immersive feeling of literally swimming above the treetops and the valley.

The organic, free form design, with its undulating curves, was designed to echo the lines of the steep, terraced rice paddies that are such an iconic feature of the Ubud landscape.
