BALI, "THE ISLAND OF THE GODS". The very name conjures visions of soporific tropical tranquillity outdone only by a five-day kabuki performance staged on the beach. But, as growing numbers of travellers will attest to, Bali is acquiring more bite. I enjoyed a serendipitous moment as a security man opened the car door and a slobbering Alsatian stuck his massive head in, drooling all over my lap. The dog eyed me with a bored expression and then proceeded to sniff me in parts that have remained unmolested since my mother last changed my nappies a very long time ago. Mirrors on long poles were run around the rim of my car.

The Samaya Seminyak with nice private courtyard villas and a main pool set in green lawns fronting the ocean. Samaya has developed into a very cosy resort with a nice laid-back feel and attentive service. The new Breeze beachfront bar is a cool hangout for sundowners and more. Sit at the bar or settle into a sofa, alfresco. Along the sea front new massage bal?s offer much holistic spa indulgence. Resort villas feature Wireless Internet access and butler service. The Samaya is a nice no-fuss hideaway Seminyak boutique resort with a tranquil air about it. This is the Club Med antithesis if ever there was one. And it now comes with its very own dedicated Spa at The Samaya.
