Spring Break 2015: Where To Stay, Eat & Party In Bali

Nestled in the thick of the Ubud jungle, this eco-friendly hotel is the perfect place to rid yourself of any lasting jet-lag. Continually rated by travel magazines as having one of the best pools in the world, it’s no wonder it books up throughout the year. The Hanging Gardens Story: The concept was to create something magical and authentic in the heart of the Balinese jungle; a place to escape the frenetic beach resorts and party lifestyle and literally kick back and relax amongst the beautiful and natural tropical environment. The owners wanted to create an estate that took its inspiration from the surrounding countryside, a sanctuary inspired by nature that would be built harmoniously into the landscape leaving as small a footprint as possible. The aim was to protect and reflect the environment and to propagate and preserve local traditions and indigenous style. In building the expansive property, the designers were proud that only one tree needed to be moved. Hanging Gardens, Desa Buahan, Payangan, Bali 80571, Indonesia [Photo via @khs_84 and by Nina]
