Stuff You Should Know

Voted world's best hotel by Travel + Leisure, but stairs are not your friend here – pack light and bring hiking legs. The colonial aesthetic might raise eyebrows, but it's executed with enough wit to disarm most critics. Every tent is named after a different camp position (dibs on the architect's quarters). Between the welcome bell-ringing and safari walking sticks, you'll feel like you've stumbled onto a Wes Anderson movie set. Afternoon rain is nature's way of forcing you to appreciate the complimentary bar in the Officer's Tent. Did we mention the brass monkey chandeliers?

Food and drink

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Colonial cuisine gets a conscious upgrade

Two restaurants that take their theatrical setting as seriously as their food. The main venue doubles as a design museum with Bali's most Instagram-worthy ceiling, while the BBQ joint below proves open flames and luxury can coexist. Breakfast deserves its own review – served in vintage cast iron that makes avocado toast feel colonial-chic. The Officer's Tent dispenses free-flowing drinks all day because even make-believe officers need their sundowners. Evening brings campfire s'mores and movies, unless the rain decides to write its own script. Don't miss afternoon tea, which somehow morphs into a full lunch spread because apparently, that's how they rolled in the 1800s.
