Enhance your Bali getaway by basking in the local way of living at the newly launched Visesa Ubud. The latest addition to the serene neighbourhood of Bali is located on a 6.5-hectare area – most of which is planted with rice paddies – and it aims to embody Ubud’s renowned trait as a sanctuary to reboot the mind, spirit and body. Better known as Desa Visesa (Visesa Village) to the surrounding community, Visesa Ubud strives to celebrate Balinese art and culture by incorporating these values into the classy property. On the design front, Visesa Ubud takes pride in the iconic Barong in the lobby and the detailed facade of hand-carved volcanic sandstone. The highlights, however, are the Balinese activities that guests can partake in while staying at the hotel. Tick items off your bucket list by participating in the Balinese cleansing ritual of Melukat, the bimonthly Kajen Kliwon ceremony at the community temple and consulting an in-house traditional Balian healer, among other things. www.visesaubud.com
