The Bulgari Resort Bali recently added five luxurious mansions designed by the Italian architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners to its establishment. The mansions range from 1,710 square meters to 4,415 square meters and are located in a secluded plain surrounded by cliffs with a stunning view of the Indian Ocean. Each villa comes complete with everything a person needs for a luxury tropical escape including a private two-tired heated pool surrounded by sun decks and a gazebo with a living area that opens onto a garden. The villas harmoniously blend traditional Balinese culture with a typical Italian design into the stunning landscape.
