Vol III, Issue September - November 2004   Dear Ong Ling Ling, It's hard to believe that we are almost into the final quarter of 2004! Now is the time to take a trip away to rest and reinvigorate, or do something adventurous before the distractions of Christmas and New year! Just log on to our "Latest Promotions" button and you will be spoilt for choice at our hotels and resorts. We also take you away into Ubud's natural habitat in the hills, trek into its padi fields, skip into Jakarta's buzz Cafe, then kick back with our local healer available in ALiLA Manggis and our various art exhibitions under Happenings... We've also added a choice of desktop wallpapers for your download. Our editor at joyce@alilahotels.com would love to hear your comments, thoughts and ideas. Your feedback helps ALiLA to improve, develop and flourish. Happy Living! Frederic Simon Managing Director ALiLA Hotels and Resorts Forest in the Mist - Destination ALiLA Ubud Legend has it that long ago Bali was covered in lush forests, disturbed only by cool rivers curving through its valleys. In these forests lived happy spirits, strange wild animals and fantastical creatures. Those who sought spiritual enlightenment were drawn to them as if by magic. It is said that three holy men, or Begawantha, stayed in one of these forests and cultivated the hills and valleys nearby. Read More...
