On island time

30 minutes off the east coast of Bali, the tropical island of Nusa Lembongan is the ideal destination for a weekend getaway or simply a well-deserved holiday.Spanning a three-year period, we documented a terraced villa resort nestled on the side of a steep hill, facing the magnificent volcano, Mt Agung. Privacy, tranquillity, maximum viewing potential and above all else, to be at one with the local simplicity of this seaweed farming village without injecting obvious western influences. We worked tirelessly from exterior to interior every step of the way. We covered everything from the entrance, restaurants, bars, pools, gym, steam room, day spa to the conference centre.
