Where to Stay in Bali – Best areas and hotels

This retreat is nestled in the charming countryside of the olden village of Taro, less than a half-hour out of Ubud.  The Mason Elephant Lodge was once deemed to be “the Best Luxury Eco Safari Lodge in the World.”  Unsurprisingly, it is also the official home of the country’s biggest herd of rescued Sumatran elephants.

Here you can meet them up close and personal.  The park features 27 handsome rooms, 2 noteworthy restaurants, a botanical garden, a spa, and a popular museum and education center.  Here you can feed and wash the elephants, go on jungle safari rides, and even dine under a star-filled sky.
