Padma Resort in Bali

Bali is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Bali, Indonesia, is one of Earth's true paradises. Hindu and Buddhist temples dot the landscape, and the locals enjoy a diet rich in fresh seafood, satay (grilled meat) and satisfying spices. It is the ideal place to escape from the responsibilities of real life and relax at a resort that combines the pristine beauty of nature with the luxury of a five-star retreat. Legian Beach, with its stunning white sand and turquoise water, is home to Padma Resort.

Accommodations

Padma Resort offers various accommodations. You can choose the most basic Deluxe Room or splurge for the three-bedroom Presidential Suite. To experience a private family vacation, stay in the Family Suite, which has its own dining area and kitchen. The Lagoon Access Room provides direct access to an exclusive clear tropical lagoon. A private balcony or terrace, complimentary broadband Internet and individually controlled air-conditioning are standard features in all rooms.

Dining

Guests of the Padma can choose to eat at six on-site bars and restaurants, featuring Japanese, Italian and American cuisines. Enjoy drinks while reclining in the pool at the Seruni Sunken Pool Bar, then sample authentic Indonesian cuisine at the Taman Ayun Cafe & Lounge. Five nights a week, watch as a Teppanyaki chef prepares a Japanese feast for you. Aspiring chefs may attend cooking classes.

Spa Treatments

The Padma Spa by Mandara has massages, soaks and scrubs to rejuvenate the body and relax the mind. Try the Balinese Boreh, a traditional body scrub made from fresh cloves, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, pepper and galangal. It is believed to relieve headaches and improve blood circulation. As part of the Spa Sampler, pair the Balinese Boreh with a foot massage or facial.

Activities

The Padma's guests have no trouble finding things to do. Take a class in Indonesian cooking, learn to surf, play water basketball and volleyball, or meander through the property's extensive gardens. Pamda Resort is a short distance from many of Bali's best attractions: buy local crafts at the market, experience sunset at Tanah Lot Temple and take a swim at Kuta Reef. Try Balinese street food, especially the various types of satay (chicken, fish, goat or mutton) served on a stick and cooked over an open flame.

Wedding Packages

What could be better than a wedding in paradise? Padma Resort offers four unique wedding packages that take much of the worry out of wedding planning. The resort provides the officiant, flowers, a wedding cake, sparkling wine and more for a special day. Get married in front of a traditional bamboo-thatched hut under an arbor of tropical flowers, then enjoy the vibrant, rainbow-colored wedding bouquet and, of course, the cake.
