Bali Is the Island of Gods. Where ancient mysticism, bewitching natural beauty, sun - kissed beaches and open hearted hospitality have combined to weave a legend like no other. A legend that is now joined by another - The Ritz Carlton Bali. The hotel's landscape is virtual celebration of life with bougainvillea, monkey pods, plumeria and tropical flowers all year round. Banana, breadfruit, iron wood and coconut trees form an oasis of shade among the tiered lawns. Stone steps cut into the cliff lead into a lush ravine that forms the entrance to secluded, calm waters.
