Poppies Bali offers just twenty
luxuriously appointed thatch-roofed cottages
that nestle in gardens of hibiscus, scented
jasmine, and frangipani.
Red brick paths meander
past lily ponds, waterfalls, and time-worn stone
figures, watched over by the towering palms
of an ancient coconut grove.
In a secluded corner of the garden is the swimming
pool and jacuzzi area, set amongst natural rocks
and cascades, discreet sun-bathing terraces
and riotous banks of bougainvillea.
Steps lead
up to a peaceful reading room, and to the intimate
pool bar, a cool escape for drinks or lunch.
The quaint Balinese exterior of each cottage,
with its private garden and breakfast terrace,
belies the spacious and well thought out rooms
that lie within.
The interiors are decorated
with colourful Indonesian fabrics, and include
a host of thoughtfully provided creature comforts
as well as local arte-facts and discreet design
details.
Adjoining every room is a hidden garden area
that conceals a charming bathroom featuring
a sunken marble bathtub and shower.
