On the island of the gods

There is now one more reason to visit the island of Bali. The Regent Bali, barely a few weeks old after its opening on June 1, is another good place to enjoy Bali's famous beaches, with the added incentive of perfectly landscaped greenery and a large infinity pool.

Bali, known as the Island of the Gods, is an extremely popular holiday destination for international tourists, with its picturesque beaches and mountains and exotic Indonesian culture and cuisine.

Sanur beach on Bali's eastern coastline has one of the most popular resort collections.

As the only all-suites beachfront resort in Sanur, Regent Bali offers tranquility for those in need of a peaceful retreat. It is nestled within 10 acres of tropical gardens, with a 200-meter-long beach, where you can lie back on a deckchair and still check the Web.

Among the 94 spacious suites, there are 78 deluxe suites, eight premier suites, four deluxe spa suites and four premier spa suites all with sea views, unique handcrafted furniture and all-day butler services.

The 937-square-meter Regent Villa has a private pool, a spa treatment room, jacuzzi, and two spacious bathrooms.

"Regent Bali embodies the new direction and philosophy of our company, and it will be a flagship property for the brand," says Ralf Ohletz, president of Regent Hotels and Resorts.

Special opening rates are offered until Dec 27, with a minimum of two consecutive nights stay.
