What’s New Bali's most recent venture led us to the exquisite BK Village Umalas, a hidden gem nestled between the bustling hubs of Seminyak and Canggu. This unique boutique hotel, part of the prestigious Blue Karma Dijiwa Group, promised a tranquil retreat, and oh boy, did it deliver beyond our wildest expectations! Here is the story of our wholesome 3 days 2 nights stay.
A Wholesome Escapade: Pampering Stay Experience at BK Village Umalas
Day 1: A Warm Welcome
As we stepped foot, we were immediately greeted with warmth and genuine smiles from BK Village’s attentive staff, setting the tone for what would be an extraordinary staycation. As we waited for our room to be ready, we enjoyed the welcome drink—fresh coconut water served with a fruit whole and the delectable yuzu cake while sitting on one of the lobby’s plush beanbags.
Our getaway for the next few days was the elegant Two Bedroom Suite - a perfect blend of ethnicity and elegance. The room was a true masterpiece, adorned with ethnic-style décor that showcased intricate wooden details, vibrant colors, and patterns inspired by traditional designs. From the mesmerizing carved wooden furniture to the pop-art printed sofa pillows, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create a harmonious space that felt like a home away from home.
Exploring BK Village's Oasis - Where Serenity Meets Nature
As we still had a lot of free time before dinner, we decided to stroll around BK Village’s precinct. We were totally mesmerized by the lush tropical gardens surrounding the resort. BK Village boasts three main pools; each seemed to have its own distinct personality, inviting us to take a dip and soak in the blissful ambiance. The resort's design seamlessly blended with nature, offering a serene atmosphere that made us feel immediately at ease. We found ourselves enchanted by the uniquely-shaped ‘sound healing’ house tucked away amidst the greenery. Colorful murals adorned several walls, adding a touch of eclectic charm to the surroundings.
Dinner at Hiiragi Restaurant - A Fusion Culinary Delight
Our first evening was marked by an extraordinary dining feast at the acclaimed Hiiragi Restaurant. Nestled within BK Village's premises, this culinary masterpiece combined Japanese and Peruvian flavors, resulting in a fusion of tastes that left us in awe. The attention to detail, exquisite presentation, and explosion of flavors on our palates were unparalleled. The unique culinary journey was such a delight that we decided to dedicate a separate article solely to our experience at Hiiragi. Stay tuned for the mouthwatering details!

Once again, the restaurant exceeded our expectations, leaving us with flavors that we could savor for a lifetime. Hiiragi has effortlessly become our go-to destination for culinary excellence.
Afternoon Tea - A Relaxed Indulgence
The afternoon was dedicated to BK Village's relaxing Tea Ceremony, a laid-back affair held in the comfy Tea House overlooking the main pool. The Tea House is a true haven for those seeking a moment of respite and relaxation. The room is also a gallery space, adorned with ethereal and culturally rich artworks, showcasing the talent and creativity of local artists.
We were treated to a selection of fine teas, freshly brewed at our table. The staff shared fascinating stories and historical insights about each tea, making the experience not only relaxing but also educational. From Green Tea Jasmine to Dong Ding Oolong to Masala Chai, the choices were aplenty, each with its own unique flavor profile and health benefits. We opted for the Pandan Green Tea, a refreshing and creamy blend with a tantalizing aroma. It was a pure joy to savor each sip while basking in the soothing ambiance of BK Village.

Indulging in the Signature Wellness Treatment
To pamper ourselves one last time, we headed to Heiwa Spa, a haven of wellness within BK Village. The minimalist design and talented local artists created a serene atmosphere that perfectly complemented the spa's signature treatments.
We opted for the rejuvenating Kobido Massage, a Japanese technique that left our faces feeling refreshed and radiant. The 90-minute massage combined massage and aesthetic care, focusing on the facial muscles to restore radiance and firmness. We emerged from the spa feeling like new beings, our faces glowing with a newfound radiance.
