My favourite meals were the Nasi Campur (accompanied by yummy coconut vegies) and the Shangila crepes with curry. The café was great and I loved the choices of vegetarian food (fish is available if you like it but the vegetarian options are delicious). The bed was sensationally comfy and, as I had to do some work while I was there so the desk overlooking the fishing boats next door was perfect.

The villa was furnished beautifully and was designed to catch the passing breezes. My room… well that almost leaves me speechless as it offered panoramic views of the ocean and I found myself transfixed by the beauty of the changing sea every day. The spa was also wonderful and I made the most of several treatments there. The staff were kind, discreet and exceptionally caring. I travelled alone and Shangrila was perfect for that. They insist that each guest treats the resort like their home and they really mean it. The staff, from the moment of arrival are just delightful. Heaven and paradise are the two words that pop into my mind when I reflect on this place. I just returned from six nights in the Radha Oceanfront villa and I can’t praise my experience highly enough. Shangrila fulfilled every dream I have ever had of a true ‘retreat’ and my only sadness in writing this review is that I am not still there. Thank you everyone at ShangriLa, if there is a Heaven on Earth it for sure is here !!! I will return many more times!! Thank you Ilona and Don for making my stay so filled with love and beauty, that forever will be like a jewel in my heart!!!! I feel showered with the imperishable healing energy of Love!! See you soon again!!! More Show lessĪfter some recent challenging times I was looking for somewhere to reflect and recover in peace. The beauty of the accomodations, where every detail was of the highest Aestetics and Beauty, the outstanding vegetarian or vegetarian with fish meals, the staff, who is of the most exquisite quality and energy, the spa in which one can enter heavenly states through the expert hands of the Balinese massage therapists, the beautiful temple, where there is Yoga and where the meetings take place, the walkways of lush flowers and plants, the ocean right in front for snorkelling and encounterring dolphins- simply everything had that most exquisite touch, that makes the stay into a transforming and unforgettable experience, one will treasure forever. I have experienced many great 5 Star resorts in my travels as a Travel Agent and an Entertainer, but this one truly outshined all the others. I was so fortunate to spend 2 days and 2 nights at Bali ShangriLa Oceanside Retreat and Spa.
