Hopefully this picture gives you some idea of the tranquility of the resort at dawn. Just like dusk, it has it's own magic and is completely different to either day or night time. Generally, the air is very cool and still. With swallows diving the pure water swimming pool for a drink, and dragonfly (we have 2 types of red, one silver and one blue) dart around and then rest on the lilies.

This picture is actually taken from the Bale (outdoor rest / dining pavilion) of the middle villa, Villa Bali (the farthest villa from the entrance / staff area is Villa Agung, the closest Villa Nirwana). The staff have just raised the wooden restaurant roller blinds, and you can clearly see one of the many candelabras that make the grounds so picturesque at night. You can also see one of our hammocks, just waiting for you (the resort owner's favorite hammock is strung between two palm trees next to the spa).

Of course, while you are watching this view. You would probably be drinking a cup of freshly made coffee from equally freshly ground Balinese coffee beans. And maybe even listening to the news with one of the pairs of top of the range Sennheiser headphones that are in each villa. But then again, maybe you would not.

More great pictures like this one, including aerial video / still shots can be found in our Bali Photos picture gallery.
