Hip, modern, minimalist hotel and spa with 26 individual pavilions and private infinity pools set on a hillside in Nusa Dua area

The Bale brings to mind the phrase "live like a king". Walk up its vast sweeping steps, passed endless bleached limestone and central cascading waterfall and you're in a modern, minimalist palace. Architect Antony Liu has applied his clean cut palette on an impressive scale.

Set on a sea-facing hillside in the upmarket enclave of Nusa Dua, on the southern Bukit Peninsula, its 26 individual pavilions are cutting-edge contemporary design. Walk into the bathroom and you could find yourself drifting down into your own infinity swimming pool. Each pavilion has its own small garden, with king-size day bed the size of a small house. What's clever is how they've combined the seclusion of private walled enclosures without losing a sense of open space. You can look out, nobody looks in. Your own butler checks you in and will sort out any trips you need. With armies of staff, ultra style, a funky restaurant and fabulous spa, they don't come more luxurious than this.
