Discounted rates and four nights for the price of three in "undiscovered" north-west Bali

South-East Asia's first luxury Relais & Chateaux resort is celebrating its 15th anniversary in Bali with a 15 per cent discount on room rates plus four nights for the price of three.

The "15% Anniversary Complement" at Matahari Beach Resort & Spa, far from the madding crowds in the north-west of Indonesia's 'paradise island', is being promoted from August 31 to next April 30. The offer is valid for direct booking to the property only.

Styled aftera traditional Balinese village, the exclusive resort offers a rich diversity of cultural, culinary and pampering / wellness experiences in an almost unknown part of Bali.

Parwathi Spa offers an extensive menu of Balinese massages, pampering and wellness treatments on a "Holiday for Body and Soul" in beach pavilions overlooking the Java Sea, plus complementary morning yoga sessions.

Individually tailored sightseeing-trips include walking tours through a neighbouring village visiting families specialising in local handicrafts.

Classes to learn traditional craftsmanship such as woodcarving, sculpture and painting are also organised at the resort.

Scuba-diving is organised to the spectacular nearby island of Manjangan through a local dive centre.

Exquisite cuisine incorporates organic vegetables grown in a private plantation, and poultry and pigs - for home-made sausages and ham - reared in special farms.

The tropical garden of palms, bougainvillea, hibiscus, frangipani and oleander are an oasis for colourful birdlife which earned the Relais & Chateaux 'Tranquility Trophy'.

Forging a close relationship with the local community, the resort also launched a Kinder Garden supporting around 40 children with basic education, built a Bale Dusun for local community meetings, and founded a music group that performed at the prestigious Bali Arts Festival.

The resort's respect for traditional Balinese values earned the Tri Hita Karana Emerald Trophy twice. Matahari Beach Resort & Spa has also been honoured with the Relais & Chateaux Environment Trophy and Asean Green Hotel Standard.
