The Open Stage

Dining with performance used to be exclusively for the king to hosts guests at religious events. Now, we too, can sit under the stars overlooking the rice field, and enjoy a Balinese dinner cooked by a local chef. We watched traditional dances performed on the open stage.

While exploring the luxurious resort land, we see Floating Bale decorated with candles and exotic flowers. This is the perfect spot to have an intimate five-star service dinner, especially for a marriage proposal! The warm tropical breeze and panoramic view of the rice paddies over sunset make the evening very romantic.
