AB-ROAD - JUNE 2004
The World's Top 100 Hotels
 The
Villas Bali Hotel and Spa was recently voted number 31 out of the
world’s top 100 hotels and resorts by readers of AB-Road
Magazine, Japan's leading travel-ler's guide. With fifty
private villa residences, each with their own private swimming
pools and beautiful tropical gardens, The Villas is the original
and still the best villa operation in Bali and it continues to
break new ground with the newly opened Prana Spa. Conceived
by visionary Australian artist and entrepreneur Jim Elliott, the
multi-million dollar Prana is a real departure in both philosophy
and design from the usual Asian Zen-type spa. Following the
lines of classical Mogul architecture, the inspiration for Prana
comes from the sumptuous palaces built by the Mogul rulers in the
16th century; while the spectacular interiors are based on the
lavish furnishings, textiles, mosaics, paintings and carvings found
in the great palaces of India’s Maharaja’s.
