InDOneSIA Pita Maha Resort Local artistic traditions have been renewed at the stunning Pita Maha, a Tjampuhan Resort and Spa. The resort is owned, designed and managed by descendants of the ancient Balinese kings, princes and their artisans. The site offers guests the unique opportunity to view the holy mountain of Gunung Agung and watch the sun as it rises, emerging through the morning haze. It is situated in Bali's middle hills, where the climate is appreciably cooler. Set at the confluence of two rivers (always a hallowed site in Bali), and surrounded by seven holy and magical springs, the resort overlooks the Oos River valley. Nearby, the mystical 900-year-old temple of Gunung Lebah beckons. Pita Maha is an exquisite place to seek relaxation and indulge in some fabulous healing sessions for body, mind and soul. The lavishly appointed Private Villa Spa has every facility for the ultimate spa break in total privacy. Sauna and steam rooms open onto hot or cold whirlpool baths, a private pool and springwater plunge pool overflowing with fragrant tropical flowers.

The ambience of a Bali from earlier times is evoked in the striking achievement of the architect who is a member of the royal family of the Ubud Palace. The standard of workmanship in the wood and stone carvings are akin to the ancient and powerful Balinese palaces. There are four two-storey Pool Duplex Villas with their own private swimming pool and sun deck. Ten villas have their own private outdoor plunge pool— small but intimate—in an exotic garden setting. All the villas are luxuriously appointed featuring air-conditioning, satellite TV, private bar, and other modern conveniences. A split- level restaurant, opening onto the valley, offers a sumptuous range of western and oriental specialties, while an informal warung alongside the springwater-fed main pool provides snacks and drinks in an atmosphere of complete serenity.
