Bali's newest hideaway has treehouses, alpacas and a cliffside sunset bar
The boutique hotel is located right on a scenic beach.
A hub of creativity in Bali, Nuanu is home to a beach club, a butterfly garden, an alpaca park, sound-healing spaces, yoga studios and now - with the opening of Oshom - to a boutique hotel, with just 18 gorgeously styled suites. Located north-west of Canggu, about a 90-minute drive from the airport in Denpasar, the 44-hectare enclave occupies prime real estate on Nyanyi Beach. Make the most of your proximity to the water by checking in to one of the ocean-view suites with a private terrace and dedicated meditation space, or immerse yourself in nature by booking one of the treehouses, which overlook a mangrove forest, complete with a soundtrack of birdsong. Enjoy a barefoot wander on the sand, followed by a swim at the hotel's pool fringed with sunloungers, then make your way to the cliffside restaurant, where hyper-regional and seasonal produce - fish caught in the morning and meats from free-range farms just around the corner - comes with a side of sensational sunset views. oshombali.com
Akash is the Deputy Travel Editor for Australian Community Media. He has lived and worked in four cities around the world – Sydney, London, New Delhi and New York – and, at last count, travelled to 42 countries.
My all-time favourite destination is ... New York. You can drop a pin anywhere in Manhattan and start walking in any direction, and the sights and sounds of the city that never stops will begin to stimulate all your senses in an instant.
Next on my bucket list is … Scandinavia - at the peak of summer, when the sun almost never sets.
My top travel tip is … If you’re flying to Sydney from anywhere in the world, pick a window seat far from the wing on the left-hand-side of the aeroplane. If the weather gods and flight path align, you’ll have the most incredible views of the Sydney Harbour and Opera House.
