Most Romantic Places on Earth
Above most romantic place on earth.
Moroccan Moyen Âge Take a few days to explore the souks and winding streets in the ancient medina of Fez; not only will you forget it's the 21st century, but you'll wish it were still the 14th. The sounds, scents, and colors of the cobbled alleyways and mosques, the figures cloaked in djellabas—all create an intoxication that teeters on the overwhelming. Moroccan National Tourist Office, 212-37/681-541; www.tourism-in-morocco.com.
Garden over the Big Apple New Yorkers are always searching for new ways to see their town. But somehow, most dyed-in-the-wool denizens overlook the Iris & B. Gerald Cantor Roof Garden, a 10,000-square-foot terrace atop the Met decked out with wisteria and yew trees. Central Park never looked better, and the skyline evokes the same complex feelings of possibility and glamour as a Burt Bacharach song to Manhattan. Metropolitan Museum of Art, 212/535-7710; www.metmuseum.org.
Rule India The sandstone fort in the town of Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, rises from the eastern desert like a volcano emerging from the sea. It still serves as a citadel, as it has ever since 1156, but its havelis (town houses) decorated with intricate latticework and royal residences converted into hotels make it feel more like a living museum. Here, in the dry, dusty air, time seems to stand still. Government of India Tourist Office, 213/380-8855; www.tourisminindia.com.
Enchanted Evening in Italy Built dramatically into the vertiginous Amalfi coast, Positano is for sun slaves, water babies, gastronomes—and lovers. Reserve a front-row table on a summer evening at a waterside restaurant, order a pizza and a glass of Brunello, and enjoy the parade of couples entwined as tightly as allowed by Italian law. Consider it inspiration. Italian Government Tourist Board, 212/245-5618; www.italiantourism.com.
Petite Promenade in Montreal Make your own history with a journey under the stars in Mount Royal Park. Start your stroll at Beaver Lake in this Frederick Law Olmsted—designed park and follow the promenade through the woods. At the stately Chalet and its lookout, cuddle with your favorite someone as the glimmering city lights below leave you breathless. Tourisme Québec, 877/266-5687 or 514/873-2015; www.tourism-montreal.org.

Gateway to Bali
Above article about Bali.
Bali is back bigger than ever and Catriona is about to show us the new hot-spots and some luxury accommodation.
Getaway visited Bali for the first time since what locals call "the tragedy".
There is much to be positive about and people who have loved holidaying in Kuta will be pleased to know some things are pretty much back to normal. Backpackers have returned in large numbers, surfers are enjoying the waves and there is plenty of cold beer to enjoy at the end of a hot day. While there is still a lot of rubble around, everyone is trying to fix up roads and footpaths and putting in pedestrian walkways.
Most people visit the site of the Sari Club for some quiet thoughts at the memorial and to pay their respects to the many who lost their lives in 2002.
Most accommodation places have used the downtime in tourism to recreate their properties, as well as employing sophisticated security systems.
Just a little north of Kuta and Legian is Seminyak, a place which has helped in the rebirth of Bali’s popularity as a holiday resort.
Seminyak has a more sophisticated feel than Kuta and has retained a small-town atmosphere. It has less traffic and fewer hawkers and is generally quieter.
It caters very much to the more up-market tourist and expat communities, with world-class restaurants, hotels, clubs and shops.
Jalan Dhyana Pura is known as "drinks street" — this is where the trendy establishments with trick names are: Spy Bar, Q Bar, Tu Bar and Liquid.
Jalan Double Six is a popular nightspot street. It has lots of bars, including De Ja Vu, Double Six Club and Oxygen, a stark white chillout lounge which would be at home in any city’s funky area.
Great restaurants are in abundance — La Luciola, Gado Gado, KuDeTa, The Living Room and Made’s Warung, a Balinese institution.
There is a good variety of designer boutiques, many owned by Australians. Silk and leather are put to good use and many items end up being sold in European and American stores.
Villas are increasingly popular places to stay. They offer more privacy and have kitchen and lounge areas, so people can self-cater and relax. They are very popular with families, groups of friends and sets of couples.
Villa Coco Bali has 16 choices of accommodation. There are eight self-contained one-bedroom and three two-bedroom villas and a luxurious four-bedroom villa. There are also four bungalows. It was all modernised in 2001 to improve facilities without damaging gardens or disrupting the traditional Balinese design. All have kitchenettes which are fully equipped and guests may order supplies to be delivered from the local market.
Roofs are thatched and beds are netted. Ceiling fans keep a cool breeze stirring and showers are open air, but totally private.
The Dusun has 14 exquisite private villas with thatched roofs, stone carvings, fine sandstone detailing with antique batik art pieces and soft flowing fabrics.
It is in the heart of a traditional Balinese village just 100 metres from Petitenget Beach. The village features Pura Petitenget, one of Bali’s six most important temples. Sunset Beach is a short stroll and the hotel driver is available to provide transport.
One-bedroom villas have private entrance, pool, garden, spacious airy living area, dining area and full kitchen. The air-conditioned bedroom has satellite television.
