Bali-style villa: indoor and outdoor pool, cinema, cave, yoga, gym & beach court

There are many vacation homes in Aruba, but none is like Bali Retreat. When you pass through the hand-carved teak door of the retreat, you leave behind the hoards of sun-burned tourists, tacky restaurant chains, and gaudy beach resorts of the Caribbean, and emerge in the exotic paradise of South East Asia.

As you take a stroll among the awe-inspiring, million-year-old granite boulders looming above you, by the picturesque pools with crashing waterfalls, and under the lush canopy of tropical foliage, the enchanting, whimsical ambience will make you feel as if you were magically transported to the faraway kingdoms of Thailand or Malaysia, or perhaps to one of the idyllic islands of Indonesia

And the longer you explore the layout of the villa and the maze of garden paths that connects various hidden areas within the lush grounds, the more likely you are to conclude that this is far more than just another house rental, rather it is your own private resort where anything that anyone might desire during their vacation can be found.

UTLIMATE RELAXATION
If you seek rest and relaxation, you’ll discover that nothing quiets the mind better than floating in the Garden Pool listening to the clamor of the waterfalls, reading a book under rustling palm trees while suspended in one of the hammocks in the Hammock Cove, meditating between two giant rocks in the Meditation Hollow, writing your journal in the tranquility of the Garden Lounge, gazing at the stars in the Sky Bed, taking a break from the afternoon heat in the cool Buddha Cave, or showering under a full moon in one of the open-air bathrooms with only the tropical song of
cicadas as the backdrop.

STAY ACTIVE
If you wish to invigorate and strengthen your body, you can swim in the Indoor Pool under ancient Buddha statues protruding from an imposing rock wall and two waterfalls cascading into the lap pool’s crystal waters.

You can work out in the open-air gym, play volleyball or badminton on the white sand Beach Court, practice yoga or pilate in the Yoga Pavilion, engross yourself in a game of chess in the Giant Chess Nook, play ping-pong in the Table Tennis Alcove on a custom-built table, or enjoy a game of billiards in the Main Hall.

SLEEP IN TROPICAL STYLE BEDROOMS
In our three Tropical Suites, you’ll enjoy luxurious ensuite bathrooms—two of which are open-air—along with expansive glass sliding doors. These doors let you seamlessly blend the lush garden with your suite, allowing you to bask in the tropical climate. For moments when you prefer privacy and modern comfort, simply close the doors and enjoy the refreshing air conditioning.
The Family Suite (formerly Guest Room) offers additional sleeping space for up to 4 people and has full bathroom with shower.

WORK REMOTELY
If you need to work, there is a fully air-conditioned office with a printer and the entire property is blanketed by a mesh wi-fi network.
