Bali has been called the island of the gods and with good reason. The moment you set foot on this Indonesian island you are enveloped in an aura unique to this place.

The people exude an overwhelming sense of gentleness, acceptance, warmth, and welcoming which touches every visitor despite the encroachment of the bustle and commercialization of the 21st century upon this tradition bound culture. Immersed in religion, ritual and superstition, daily life is dictated by gestures and routines which are puzzling, charming and endearing.

The tropical foliage, myriad temples, breathtaking rice fields and village compounds are intriguing and soul satisfying. The spectacular resorts, quaint inns, unique cuisine, art and dance tradition and numerous points of interest make this island nation an incomparable journey for all your senses.

Here is a sample itinerary that offers a taste of the beauty that is Bali, all with an eye to ecological, cultural and culinary excellence.

A sunset arrival at the St. Regis Bali Resort---the newest in the 5-star pantheon of Nusa Dua resorts--- was an event worth a 5-star drumroll.

Torches lit on a seemingly endless path of light from the grand lobby to the even grander Indian Ocean, guests gathering, jazz music playing.

Guests at the St. Regis Bali Resort are treated nightly to the exciting Torch Light Ceremony where fragrant flowers greet you and where vistas look out to the Indian Ocean.

As you float out of the spa, renewed and refreshed, it is almost time for dinner at Kayuputi.

Imagine that one of the world's top rated restaurants, Mosaic, is located in Ubud, a small artistic village in the interior of the island of Bali!

Haute cuisine may be the defining global language! The lounge and bar of Mozaic is hip, trendy and attracts a late night jazz crowd on the weekends. The restaurant, nestled in a garden oasis, is a sensual, perfectly lit backdrop for Chef Chris Salans's creative French Asian Cuisine.

With notable international accolades, its no wonder that the 60 seats are booked months in advance with an eager waiting list at the ready in hopes of a last minute cancellation. Chef Salans presents several 6 course dining selections.

One menu uses exotic Balinese ingredients which are displayed table side, the other menu a bit more continental in flavor profile with touches of Asian inspiration throughout. Chef Salans and his wine director have carefully matched each course with impressive old and new world wines (almost impossible to find elsewhere in Bali because of the import restrictions) to compliment the cuisine.

Flawless technique, knowledgeable servers, sophisticated presentations and a magical ambiance ensure continuing accolades from an adoring international clientele. The result is a marriage made in heaven! Bali and the Gods approve!

Mosaic's outdoor garden dining makes the culinary experience even more memorable.

They say that if you want to experience the essence of Bali as it was in the good old days, go East. It is here that you will find traditional villages little changed by modernization. Textiles are woven, rice thrashed and ritual respected as they were centuries ago.

Plan to visit east Bali for a taste of one of the most unspoiled parts of the island. A stay at the Alila Manggis in Candi Dasa is well worth the drive.

Complementary afternoon tea at the Alila Manggis is a happy occasion, and also a surprise..

" Alila" means surprise in Sanskrit and you will surely experience the essence of surprise here.

The contemporary architecture and floating gardens are magnificently highlighted to create stunning drama. The sounds of the ocean and geckos create a lulling and exotic backdrop for a property that offers a range of activities on the premises and in nearby villages.

This is the beautiful grounds of the Alila Manggis, which sits just steps from the ocean.

Your preferences are carefully noted so that upon arriving you will be met by a leisure concierge who will suggest a range of experiences to enhance your stay.

Most rooms at the Alila Manggis look out to the ocean and afford comfort and connection with nature.

The dining venue called Sea Salt will introduce you to a variety of items including the traditional East Balinese feast enjoyed at village ceremonies called Balinese Megbung, which includes all the specialties found in the area.

Dinning at the Alila Manggis is a special occasion. Here Chef Penny Williams presents a cornucopia of local Balinese delicacies.

Any menu item can be served in the open air dining pavilion or in any of the romantic spots on the property including the seaside pavilions and organic garden in the middle of the rice fields.

Chef Penny Williams and the culinary team are eager to share the unique ingredients and flavors of their area in the restaurant through room service and through their renowned cooking school that should not be missed while on property.

Cooking School a la Alila Manggis--- under the able guidance of Chef Penny Williams--- is fun as well as instructional.

A unique offering is the seafood class which starts with an early morning fishing trip at a nearby village, continues with the preparation of several dishes using your own catch of the day and ends with your enjoyment of your own cooking at dinner.

At the Alila Manggis one of the special programs arranged by the staff is to "catch your own fish" with local village fishermen, and then "cook it yourself"!

Complete you stay with a visit to Spa Alila, an inviting enclave that takes its cues from the rhythm of the ocean waves and lulls you into the natural flow of life. Experience a Balinese massage and facial or select another of their many choices. All treatments use natural, local ingredients to heal, soothe and nourish body and soul.

At the Alila Manggis the staff is intent on creating memorable and authentic cultural experiences for its guests--such as shopping for hand-worked icat weavings or thrashing rice with local farmers.

You may have to leave Alila Manggis but your memories will linger and you will vow to return.
