grassy courtyards linked by steps of Indian slate. A dramatic central

ironwood deck. Furnished with a teak table for alfresco dining, and teak
sunloungers, the view from this spot, across the cliff, is

Location
Karang Kembar is located on the southernmost tip of Bali in a region
known as the Bukit Peninsula – a limestone tableland boasting some of
Bali’s most glamorous villas, private estates and
internationally-branded boutique hotels. Characterised by wide open
spaces and skies, the azure waters are the playground of dolphins and
migrating whales, and the landscape is dotted with wild flowers, cactus,
kapok trees and spectacular scarlet flamboyants.
A tropical, equatorial climate means year-round balmy temperatures,
this area is much drier than the rest of the island and – even in the
rainy season – is a reliable sun-trap. When the southeast trade winds
blow offshore and the southern ocean swells hit the reefs, the
barrelling surf breaks are among the best in the world. In the shallows,
within a patchwork of underwater, bamboo-fenced plots, the local people
traditionally cultivate, harvest and export seaweed, for use in
cosmetics, food stabilisers and medicines.
Despite its remoteness, Karang Kembar is only 40 minutes’ drive from
the endless shopping, vibrant nightlife and international restaurants
of Kuta and Seminyak. A world-class beachside golf course can be found a
few kilometres away at Nusa Dua, with another one at the nearby
Dreamland Beach complex. The remainder of the island offers a rich
mosaic of culture
