One Eleven @ Bali, Indonesia

This will be my first travel post. I decided to take a short weekend getaway to Bali, Indonesia in early June 2015. I'd say, the last time I went to Bali was in 2005, right after the bombing with my mum. That was also my first and last time I decided to travel to another country with a tour group. I would prefer free and easy all the way.

This was one of the ahem, few occasion that I decided to splurge on luxury hotel and spoil myself. After tons of browsing and reading reviews in trip advisor which hotel to stay, I chose One Eleven. I wanted to stay in Seminyak and the location couldn't be more perfect; it's a walking distance to restaurants and shops.

My experience with them from when I started corresponding with them via email up to the end of our stay was amazing. They replied each and every of my email patiently and promptly. 

We left for KL on a late night flight and by the time we arrived Bali International Airport, it was close to midnight. We were greeted by two cheerful drivers at the arrival hall and were led to the private van transfer. It was a nice touch of them to offer us cold towels for us to freshen up and mineral water. The ride was smooth with no traffic at all and soon, we arrived at the hotel 20 minutes later.

Our first impression of the hotel was divine and luxurious. The front entrance and open reception design is modern, yet minimalistic.

Surprisingly, we weren't even tired and sleepy at all. We were excited and check-in was quick. The hotel consist of 9 private villa with pool and gazebo. One of the reason why I choose this hotel is that this is an all-adult only hotel. No screaming children or babies at all. It was the peace and quiet that I was looking for.

We sat in a buggy and in 10 seconds, we arrived at Villa 3. We were awed and speechless the moment we open the door. This is even better than the photos. The butler showed us around and in few minutes, we were left on our own to explore the room, the pool and large private garden. We settled down our stuff and took photos. We were even greeted by a friend, a small little froggie other than mosquitos. The sky was so clear that I could see so many stars in the sky. We stayed up till almost 2am.

Our 3 nights stay there was divine and relaxing. We just stayed and explored around Seminyak other than spending time at the villa. I took the special package whereby the price includes; 1x 2 hour spa for 2 and dining for two. It was indeed a luxury of having the spa at the gazebo. Daily breakfast was one of the highlights that we look forward to. The menu changes daily and we pre-ordered our selections the day before and they prep it at our villa every morning.

As for the spa, we opted to separate the 2 hour spa into 1 hour on 2 separate days. On our last night, we had a fine dining dinner at our villa without having to dress up at all.

If you need a short getaway with no screaming children around and wants to have an intimate time with your partner/spouse and is willing to splurge for special occasion, I would recommend this place.It's a place that I will want to go back again.
