Travel: Ungasan Clifftop Resort Bali

1086

Honestly, you could easily spend your whole holiday in the villa and never leave. However, if you do dare to venture beyond the sanctuary of your villa, The Ungasan has many exciting elements to explore. Firstly, if you like to work up a sweat, there is no better place to do it than in The Ungasan gym. With floor to ceiling glass windows, I nearly forgot how tired my legs were because the view was so distracting! If gyms are not your thing, then mosey on over to the tennis court or put your golf skills to the test on the putting green.

One of the highlights of The Ungasan is that you have direct access to the very trendy Sunday’s Beach Club, a popular haunt for any beachgoer visiting Bali. As a guest at The Ungasan you get VIP access to Sunday’s, which means no queuing, no entrance fee and your own reserved special section of the beach! At Sunday’s, you can paddle board, kayak or snorkel to your hearts content. Happy hour is a must, as it is the perfect place to watch the sunset. Afterwards relax in a beanbag as you roast marshmallows over a glowing fire.

I believe no holiday is complete without a massage and the Vela Spa did not disappoint. The staff took their time to understand my needs and catered to them perfectly. You can have massages in three different locations. The spa, the beach and in the comfort of your villa… see, you really never need to leave!

Dining at The Ungasan was a real treat. Breakfast or Morning Harvest as it’s referred to at The Ungasan, is included in your booking. You can have breakfast anywhere you want in the villa at any time, which gives mealtime a feeling of spontaneity. The portions are plentiful and delicious! You can order food to your villa at any time or go to the main restaurant Selatan. What we loved about the menu was that it offered healthy alternatives that were super tasty. Moreover, the food at Sunday’s is not to be missed! The pizzas melt in your mouth and each bite of the tempura lobster bao buns is pure bliss!

The final component that makes The Ungasan so exceptional, is the remarkable individuals that work there. Maya Angelou once said that people “never forget how you made them feel” and this is certainly true of the staff at The Ungasan. Everyone we encountered was so warm, tremendously helpful and incredibly attentive. Each person seemed genuinely proud and passionate about the resort and this shone through in everything that they did. The staff and the service were definitely a crucial part of what made The Ungasan feel so extraordinary.

As our stay drew to a close, it took all my strength not to stow away in a cupboard so I could live The Ungasan dream a little longer. I wish I could go back again and again and again. If you are looking for a holiday that is utterly out of this world, with a definite wow factor and luxury that is completely unique to you, then look no further than The Ungasan Clifftop Resort. www.theungasan.com
