Today was all about our wonderful hotel in Desa Hay, in Canggu, a gift from Andy’s former work colleagues at Lunson Mitchenall.

We arrived at this slice of paradise in late morning to max out on all it has to offer. The hotel is bijou, with just 6 rooms and as a result you get a real personal touch from the staff.

Our villa is luxurious in a laid back welcoming way, with a plunge pool up front, outdoor roll top bath and adjoining amazon shower with floor to ceiling glass allowing you to stare out across the private enclosed jungle garden.

Our own restaurant catering for the 12 guests staying at anyone time.

When we entered our room we both couldn’t help smiling as it’s got to be one of the best places we’ve ever stayed in. We feel so lucky and fortunate to be able to stay here. It’s a proper treat.

Like kids in a sweet shop we were keen to try all that the hotel room had to offer. From a bath outside, then the matching bath robes and chilled drinks outside on the veranda.

Surrounded by the mature jungle gardens we indulged in early evening cocktails as the ultimate treat. Both were delicious.

Having booked via Mr & Mrs Smith, we had a complimentary evening meal to enjoy, which was delicious and so tasty. Again a memory that will stay with us for a long time.

We retired to our room with chocolate treats waiting on our pillows and again pinched ourselves as to how fortunate we are to be staying here for a couple of nights.

Tomorrow we have booked an early morning yoga class in the communal gardens.

So looking forward to another day in our Bali paradise.
