Magical spot
A nine day heavenly first-time stay in Villa Beten Bukit. We know Permuteran well, having stayed there several times in the past, so having snorkelled and boated and seen all the sights before, we were happy this time to simply enjoy. And what a beautiful place to enjoy! It is a gorgeous villa in a magical spot. We lazed about and chatted and read, lolled in the pool several times a day, stared at the lotus pond and the garden and the mountains and the moon and the stars, counted the dragonflies, butterflies and birds, listened to the mix of gamelan and the call to prayer, and to the quiet sounds of villagers' comings and goings. We walked down the local laneway for 20-25 minutes every day, everyone very friendly saying hello along the way, then had lunch by the sea. We chose to get a taxi/car most evenings to have dinner down there too, though also stayed home a few nights enjoying Iluh's cooking. Putu the manager is a very nice man, available to organise whatever you might want, including massages at the villa by Wayan, who is very good. There’s maybe only one warning: be prepared for every dog in the laneway to come out and bark at you the first time you walk down, then after that most of them can’t be too bothered, though a couple of them always put on a good show! Putu warned us of this and gave us a few tips which we appreciated. Thank you Putu, Iluh, Made and Kadek.. and Lisette...we hope to be back.
