Stepping into its traditional Balinese village layout, with lagoon pool, farm, and paddy fields, Royal Tulip Visesa in Ubud is not your typical luxurious stay. It is about engagement and experience, not detached opulence and switching off. On arrival, there is an immediate sense that your stay is going to activate the positive vibe in you through a healthy, healing rural adventure.
Royal Tulip Visesa or Desa Visesa takes your heart and soul back to a time when the rich culture and traditions of Bali resonated through the lives, minds, and hearts of the people who live here.
Embarking on your vacation journey, you arrive in a grand setting. Rooms, suites, and private pool villas are situated along winding paths, around a lovely lagoon in over six hectares of Ubud Royal Family land. The design sentiment is traditional materials, modern facilities, and classic Balinese features, with garden, paddy field or jungle views.
Experiencing Bali’s rural heritage
Waking to fresh air and the beauty of nature, you can experience the traditions of sustainable lifestyles with a fascinating agricultural tour and permaculture courses. This eco-agritourism element to Royal Tulip Visesa evokes a nostalgic depth to a stay and a deeper understanding of the lives of the Balinese. After all, while taking a dip in your private villa pool is the epitome of luxury, interactive leisure pursuits add context, color, and fun to the trip.
Healthy vacations in a natural setting
Organic fruit, vegetables and herbs are grown at the resort and taking a tour with the chef or helping out at the kitchen garden is richly rewarding. Clean, sustainable food is served up in an all-day buffet and à la carte restaurants. Add a mocktail by the pool and get rejuvenated to your core.
In keeping with the village-life vibe of the resort, there are many rural pursuits to sample and a stay is a reminder of the enjoyment of the simplicity of life, albeit with a luxury vacation style. Kids have a playground and play with traditional Balinese toys, while yoga, trekking, and cycle rides breathe new life into you. Old-fashioned ontel bicycles are an excellent way to get around the grounds too.
Traditional culture and an authentic Bali blessing
Following age-old traditions, dance and Balinese instrument classes are offered, or you can help plow the fields or look after the village animals. A wonderfully unique experience at Royal Tulip Visesa is the Melukat, and taking part in this ancient, purifying Balinese water ritual is a privilege that brings you closer not just to the roots of Bali but yourself.
An energizing and healing holiday
Royal Tulip Visesa offers a holistic vacation stay with a perfect spa, sweat lodge, and meditation. Where else can you work out in a sala looking across paddy fields? Prearranging spiritual, healing, and Reiki session while your body, mind, and inner being relax are the ultimate experience guests can have.
A sustainable sanctuary of rural tradition, Royal Tulip Visesa is Bali at its most real and most wonderful. (http://www.royaltulipvisesaubud.com/en)
