Enter the Hanging Gardens in Ubud Bali and you’re immediately greeted by a bevy of friendly staff that gifts you refreshing Balinese juice and fresh flower leis. You know that you have entered a remote paradise where you will be showered with hospitality. As you walk down the stairs, or take the funicular down to the center of the resort, your senses are heightened by the bright hues of green and heavenly aroma of flowers in this plush jungle. The only noise you hear are the chirping of Balinese birds and the occasional monkey. The cocoa and coffee trees effortlessly blend in with the bamboo trees and orchids enveloping you in their intoxicating scents. You have entered an Ubud Bali private paradise that will forever leave a lasting mark on your spirit.
