The day

A day that holds together.

People come to the Bukit for the surf. It is not the reason they stay. By eight the salt is off and the work begins: a gym, a yoga studio and the golf links inside minutes of the gate.

The beaches

The break below the plateau.

Bingin under the cliff, Dreamland's swimmable sand next door, Padang Padang up the road. Suluban and Single Fin hold the sunset.

The table

Dinner is a short drive.

El Kabron on the cliff for sunset, The Cashew Tree in the Bingin lanes, Drifter on the Padang Padang road. All of it inside a few minutes.

The neighbours

The ceiling of the corridor.

Six Senses. Bvlgari. Alila. Three cliff-edge operators inside the same corridor. They set the ceiling on this stretch of the Bukit. The temple sits at the end of the same road; the airport is under an hour.
