Venue
We will be hosted by Villa Boreh Beach Resort and Spa. Located on the north east coast of Bali in a sleepy fishing village, Villa Boreh consistently receives rave reviews for its beauty and hospitality. The area we will be visiting is protected by mountains and has its own microclimate. In other words, it gets very little rain, even during the rainy season.
