In the middle of our trip to Bali, we found a piece of dreamland: Munduk Moding Plantation. Many call it heavenly, and even after a short stay, I understand why. Of all the places I have traveled, this may be the most peaceful.
The Infinity Pool
The heart of Munduk Moding is its infinity pool, which seems to pour straight into the sky. At sunrise and sunset, the water and the horizon melt together in shades of gold, and it becomes hard to tell where the pool ends and the heavens begin. It is a magical sight.
People come from all over the world to be photographed here, whether practicing yoga at the edge, swimming toward the horizon or diving into the reflection of the sky.
Here is a small collection of images from my short stay. Can you spot me in the pool? 🙂
A Hideaway of a Dozen Rooms
The resort has only about a dozen rooms, and each one feels like a honeymoon suite: cozy, charming and almost surreal. Once you settle in, the rest of the world seems to fade away, leaving only endless green hills and the colors of sunrise and sunset.
Dining Above the Clouds
The restaurant overlooking the infinity pool is a must. Ask for a table on the second floor: the higher vantage point offers a unique perspective over the pool and the valley beyond. I’ve even seen photos of special guests being served their meal right in the pool.
On certain evenings of the week, the resort also hosts traditional Balinese dance performances, a lovely way to end a day in this peaceful corner of the world.
