Bali is one of the few cultures with origins in one of the great ancient cultures which is still alive. Arthur Erickson
If you’re in search of an unforgettable escape that promises to elevate your senses and create lasting memories, look no further. Nestled in the heart of Gianyar, this luxurious beachfront resort is a hidden gem that promises an unparalleled stay imbued with lavishness and cultural charm.
Let me take you on a journey through the enchanting reasons why The Royal Purnama Hotel is the epitome of a Bali getaway you’ll cherish forever.
A Majestic Welcome
We arrived at the Royal Purnama Hotel around 2am but this didn’t stop the staff from greeting us with the warmest smiles and traditional Balinese hospitality. The welcoming aura of the resort instantly put us at ease forgetting about 27 hours of travel and I knew we were in for a memorable experience. The staff offered us a refreshing tropical drink, setting the tone for the rest of our retreat.
Elegant Accommodations
The resort’s accommodations are nothing short of exquisite. We opted for a two bedroom villa Melati with a private pool enveloped in lush greenery.
The villa boasts a luxurious and spacious layout, perfect for both couples seeking a romantic retreat and families looking to make unforgettable memories.
The interiors are a seamless blend of modern amenities and traditional Balinese touches. From the opulent bed adorned with intricately woven textiles to the gracefully hand-crafted furniture, every detail exuded a sense of understated elegance.
The semi-open air bathroom, featuring a lush garden, a freestanding bathtub, and rain shower, was so perfect to indulge in blissful relaxation while connecting with nature.
And then there was a private pool, nestled amidst tropical gardens, a secluded oasis to unwind and rejuvenate. Paradise!
We also had an opportunity to explore one of the Jepun villas, smaller in size but equally impressive. Watch the two videos below which will give you a mesmerising insight into the Balinese paradise.
Serenity by the Indian Ocean
Basking in the sun surrounded by the gentle sound of waves and the rustling of palm leaves was a treat for the senses. My perfect escape from the daily hustle of life.
The Royal Purnama’s famous black sand beach was a perfect way to savor the serenity of Bali’s coastline in complete seclusion immersed in a realm of utter tranquility.
Nourishment for the Soul
No trip to Bali is complete without savoring its culinary delights, and the resort’s Standing Stones restaurant surpassed all expectations.
Each dish was a masterpiece, meticulously prepared with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.
We really enjoyed daily dinner specials from satay delights bursting with flavours, sumptuous BBQ to the Asian delight, all accompanied by traditional Balinese performances and live music.
For couples seeking a romantic getaway, the Royal Purnama is an idyllic retreat. With candlelit dinners on the beach and dreamy moonlit strolls, the hotel is an ideal destination for honeymooners and lovers alike.
It also offers intimate rooftop dinners under the stars, picnic, afternoon tea and cooking classes. Unfortunately the weather was not on our side during our stay in Bali and we didn’t get to enjoy these amazing experiences. Well, there is always next time…
A Morning of Extravagance Floating on Cloud Nine
Picture this: indulging in a scrumptious morning feast while basking in the serenity of your private pool, surrounded by the lush beauty of the island of the gods.
At the Royal Purnama, the floating breakfast experience is more than just a meal, it’s an expression of personalized luxury. The staff takes the time to curate the perfect selection of breakfast delights, tailored to your preferences and dietary needs. Whether you desire a tropical fruit platter or a savory breakfast spread, their attention to detail ensures every craving is met.
Exquisite Elixirs – the artistry of mixology
At the Royal Purnama, mixology is a true form of art where Bali’s rich cultural heritage gets infused with a dash of modern creativity. From the classic tropical concoctions to innovative signature drinks, every libation is crafted with precision and passion.
Beyond the exceptional cocktail menu, you can customise your cocktail to suit your individual taste. Whether you prefer a lighter touch of sweetness or an extra dash of spice, bartenders are masters at crafting bespoke elixirs that would resonate with your palate.
As the sun sets over the horizon, the Royal Purnama comes alive with a magical atmosphere. With a front-row seat to Bali’s stunning sunsets, the Sunset Lounge becomes the perfect setting to savor one of the enchanting cocktails from a truly impressive menu.
Don’t miss out out on the video below that will take you on the journey through the fusion of divine cocktails at the Royal Purnama. Aha, one more thing, there is 2 for 1 daily happy hour between 5 and 7pm, what else you could ask for?!
Endless Instagrammable Spots
The Royal Purnama Hotel is a treasure trove of Instagrammable places that embody the beauty and allure of Bali. Whether you’re indulging in a floating breakfast, basking in a breathtaking sunset, or simply wandering through the lush gardens, each corner offers a chance to capture moments of enchantment and share them with the world.
So, grab your camera, unleash your creativity, and let the Instagram journey unfold in this captivating paradise.
Heavenly Spa Indulgence
Since our stay in Bali was a bit unfortunate with quite a few rainy days – to unwind and rejuvenate – I treated myself to a few spa’s pampering rituals.
At the heart of Balinese spas lies a centuries-old tradition of healing and rejuvenation, rooted in ancient knowledge and infused with spiritual practices. I’m not usually into spa treatments but as you can imagine I was curious to explore the magical world of Balinese spas.
And no disappointment there – from traditional massage therapies to herbal rituals, every treatment is crafted with meticulous care to nurture the senses and restore balance. If you decide to visit Bali you must immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Balinese spas, pure indulgence and rejuvenation. I don’t think I ever felt as relaxed!
A Fitness Oasis
For those seeking to maintain active lifestyle, nestled amidst the lush tropical gardens, is of course the gym. I quite enjoyed my workouts especially that the gym combines modern facilities with a backdrop of serene natural beauty. Great way to stay energized and revitalized during the stay (especially on rainy days).
Where Nature and Luxury Embrace in Perfect Harmony
The Royal Purnama Hotel is more than a luxury retreat; it’s a celebration of nature’s boundless beauty. From the moment you arrive, you’ll find yourself enveloped in a symphony of sights and sounds that pay homage to the island’s lush landscapes and serene shores.
For those seeking a luxurious escape in Bali, I wholeheartedly recommend the Royal Purnama Hotel. It’s a perfect place to embrace the opulence, indulge in the tranquility, and immerse yourself in the rich Balinese culture.
