Indoor Heated Waterfall Pool
A Taste of Bali — With a Swimming Pool in Your Living Room
Inspired by the extraordinary villas of Bali, where swimming pools and living spaces flow seamlessly together, we brought this distinctive concept to Aruba.
At the heart of BALI RETREAT lies what we believe to be Aruba’s only indoor heated swimming pool, nestled right within the main living area, just steps from the sofas.
Swim laps in the magnificent 13-metre (42 ft 8 in) heated pool, float beneath cascading waterfalls, or relax in the adjoining shallow soaking pool.
A dramatic stone feature wall adorned with Buddha statues creates an enchanting atmosphere, while the adjacent pool lounge invites you to sit back and enjoy the tranquil sound of flowing water.
And unlike a resort, you won’t be sharing this paradise with anyone else. The entire villa, swimming pools, and surrounding amenities are exclusively yours throughout your stay.
It’s the magic of contemporary Balinese living, brought to the Caribbean.
Outdoor Waterfall Lagoon Pool
Your own tropical swimming spot
A tropical lagoon-style pool with waterfalls on three sides, lush greenery, and granite boulders creates a secluded swimming spot in your own private garden.
Float to the soothing rush of the waterfalls, or settle into the connected jetted spa pool. In the evening, warm landscape lighting gives the garden a magical glow.
The Hot Tub Hut
A warm soak beneath the palapa
Tucked among palms and boulders, the separate Hot Tub Hut offers a private, heated hot tub surrounded by a traditional thatched palapa and twinkling lights.
It’s the perfect place to relax, day or night, and enjoy the peaceful tropical setting with your group.
