Despite landing in Bali past midnight, we were greeted with marigold lei and a hot, flavorful meal when we arrived at Villa Bodhi. The villaʻs beauty and calm moved me to tears. The commons area is an open pavilion with Balinese wood and stone carvings, teak furniture, and batik decor. Surrounding the pavilion are five large, air-conditioned guest cottages and an artesian salt-water infinity pool. After a restful sleep, we awoke to the view of a rainforest ravine. Our Bali experience was memorable also because of the Villa Bodhi staff and their authentic warmth. Whether it was how the landscape was maintained, the cottages were cleaned, or the delicious Balinese meals were crafted, every interaction demonstrated genuine care and professionalism. A special mahalo goes out to the manager, Mr. Made, who took the time to drive us to several sightseeing spots and share his cultural knowledge and perspective of his home. In a world where tourism can often feel transactional, the staff at Villa Bodhi exemplified what it means to provide heartfelt hospitality. My favorite memory? Spending a day touring the surrounding Ubud district — temples, shrines, rice fields, shopping — and then returning to Villa Bodhi in the late afternoon to slide into that infinity pool before the most satisfying Balinese meal.
