Batik may be most famous in Java, but Bali tells its own story. Here, patterns bloom with Hindu gods, temple icons, and motifs drawn from the island itself: cranes, lotuses, mountains, and the mythical barong. Each design feels less like decoration and more like memory, stitched into fabric. Step into a batik workshop and it […]
In the lush folds of Ubud’s Valley of the Kings, Viceroy Bali has spent the past two decades shaping not only a sanctuary for discerning travellers but also a community rooted in culture, family, and care.

Who doesn’t crave peace?

Bali’s shopping malls are a little different from the usual. They are not just about racks and tills—they are spaces where the island seeps in. Open-air corridors, water features, pockets of greenery, the occasional scent of incense or frangipani carried on a warm breeze. Even amid the bustle of Kuta, Seminyak, and Denpasar, these malls […]
