Exclusive Forest Lodge
This unique world-class destination resort perfect for executive incentive travel can proudly take its place among the great forest lodges of the world- the Tiger Tops of Nepal, the Matla Manzi of Africa and the Bandhavgarh of India.

The resort's cuisine is first class - the vegetables are crisp, the beer cold, the cellar of impeccable pedigree, the service brisk and the smiles sincere. Local seafood, supplied daily from the coast, is sumptuously fresh. Diners may choose an outdoor pavilion, tables set around the infinity swimming pool or the dining room inside the largest cone-shaped thatched roofed structure on Bali.
