rice terraces in a resort

One of the joys of visiting Bali is to explore its various new resorts and hotels which often represent the cutting edge of tropical architectural design and landscaping. (for example, one of the very first infinity or knife-edge resort swimming pools in the world was designed for the Amandari in Ubud). Here, we see the swimming pool and rice terraces which form the central landscaping feature at the Mandapa resort, also in Ubud, which is barely a year-old. The rice plants are cultivated to show different stages in their growth, hence the different colours. There is even a little traditional rice barn structure, seen on the left.
