An after-dark arrival, it turns out, is not the ideal start to a stay at Buahan, a Banyan Tree resort. It is not just that you miss out on the magnificent view that greets new arrivals: over the jungle and across to one of Bali’s sacred peaks. If you are anything like me, a 90-minute nocturnal drive there from the airport is enough to cause second thoughts.
