Ancient and mystical, the hotel’s 100 hectare reserve is a sanctuary for the explorer, the nature lover and anyone seeking a unique experience in one of the world’s last ancient megalithic cultures: from kilometers of empty white sand beaches, to world-class Indonesian surf, to unique once in a life time day adventures.
