Bali,
the star jewel of the fabled Spice Islands, is a masterpiece of
nature. Age old community rice farming blends carefully manicured
terraced rice fields with the lush Tropical forest. Towering volcanic
peaks afford spectacular views of the deep ravines.
Puri Bagus Manggis is located directly in the center of
the traditional village of Manggis, the easternmost district of
Karangasem, allowing first hand insights of this island paradise.
Holding sites of diverse touristic interest, such as the historic
remains of the Royal Water Palace at Tirtagangga, and the village
of Tenganan, a walled-in borne to the original Balinese, the Bali
Aga community just a few minutes drive from the botel. Natural landscapes
of Sidemen and Iseh are a source of artistic inspiration. Trekking
through the terraced rice paddies in the very region of of Manggis
and L nearby world renowned diving site at Tulamben where the USS
Liberty sunk during WWII are experience not to be missed
Puri
Bagus Manggis is a haven of tranquility amidst true Balinese
village life. Built in traditional architectural style, this original
family compound has been transformed into 7 exquisite guestrooms.
The thatched roof of the dining room blends with the natural scenery
allowing views of the rural life and the ever present colourful
religious ceremonies.
The swimming pool, set amongst the rice paddies and orchid garden
along with the unobtrusive hospitality of the Balinese staff completes
this ultimate experience.
