My Seminyak retreat

Pearl 'boutique' hotel and spa Seminyak Bali.  An Idyllic hideaway  tucked away from the hustle and bustle, noise and crush of people and traffic that makes Bali...Bali.  The inviting pool is crystal clear and refreshingly cool after all the heat.  My Balinese style room with its high pitched, thatched roof, large balcony with views of the pool is so large! Very airy (with air con) and has the most amazing bed with draped netting, a dressing room, bathroom with a deep large bath.  I'm feeling this is total luxury, a decadent and well deserved reward for myself.  I spent 4 days here, the first 2 in the pool and lazing on the Bali style cabana day beds just doing nothing.  Oh I did go to the day spa for a foot massage and an ear wax candle treatment for a bit of cleansing and 'inner balancing'.  All the ladies here swear by their facials. There is also a French restaurant that serves modern French style fare, I had de-boned lamb shank with roasted eggplant that was accompanied by potted potato bake.  It was very yummy (expensive) and a nice change from the Balinese food.  Breakfast was included in the price and each morning I had perfectly poached eggs, fruit (cut into cute shapes) a fresh watermelon juice and Balinese tea.  Before going for my morning walk along the famous Jalan Double Six (street) before heading back to the pool and an afternoon lie down on my awesome comfy bed watching cable T.V....Ahhhhh what a life! 






Hand made paper lampshades...Mood lighting?

The Pearl hotels French restaurant, very popular here in Bali, maybe it's because of the fine dining (or the manager above)???




My delicious daily breakfast and view from my balcony, this is heaven!
