2. Soori Bali
Soori Bali is unique. Picture environmentally friendly designs nestled amid Indonesia’s spectacular scenery. Beach, sea, rice fields and mountains are at your doorstep here. We admit that all the rooms at this resort offer spectacular views. Our favourite room, however, is Soori Bali’s Mountain pool Villa because you can relax in luxury beneath the gaze of Mount Bratan: one of Bali’s most spectacular volcanoes. The Mountain Pool Villa is nestled amid a village-like area of the resort where each home is connected by landscaped gardens and courtyards. So let your hair down and dip into your own private pool, relax on the outdoor lounge pavilion and soak in the soothing sights. Where else can you admire the juxtaposition of volcanoes and farms from your living room? We’re especially impressed by Soori Bali’s combination of minimal fresh designs, each complimented by a range of luxurious features, whether that’s butler service or the resort spa.
WHAT WE LOVED: The (very private) outdoor shower soon became a holiday highlight.
See the mountains and the countryside from the comfort of your own home when you stay at Soori Bali.
1. Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar

The sense of seclusion in Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar is a luxurious experience, but Nizwa remains close by. So put your feet up and enjoy your morning tea or coffee with fresh mountain air and jaw-dropping room views.
