The Balinese Gardens of the Elysian
Set amidst lush tropical Balinese gardens, the Elysian Boutique Villa Hotel is true to its name—paradise. Part of a growing wave of condominium hotels, this sublime sanctuary offers island ambience that caters to short- and long-term guests with 27 private villas, each with its own pool, located only 200 meters from long stretches of soothing sand beaches.
The look of The Elysian is "modern Asian," a combination of traditional proportions with contemporary ambient twists: an open pavilion surrounded by water welcomes guests, and a 25-meter pool runs the length of the terrace, ending in a trellised waterfall and Balinese temple. The Rush Bamboo restaurant, poolside café, and bar offer cool, comfortable dining, drinking, and snoozing possibilities.
