In Pursuit of The Naga – A Journey Through The Lenses
![]() |
Ocean Pool Villa - Cabana |
Lorena’s photographic journey
took her on a discovery of the heart and soul of Bali, to its sacred mountains
at dawn, its fertile rice paddies, and to the slopes of majestic Mount Agung,
observing the island as though through the Naga’s protective gaze. Armed with
their cameras and accompanied by one of the resort’s Leisure Concierge team,
guests of Alila Villas Soori will be able to follow in Lorena’s adventurous
footsteps, tracing the extraordinary route of Naga’s Diaries through the lens
to discover exotic and lesser-visited sites across the island.
Guests can choose from a one-day experience, setting out before dawn to capture the sunrise, or a three-day experience that explores three different routes through the most breathtaking and hidden landscapes of Bali.
The different locations along the
routes will be specially signposted with terracotta tiles that are designed to
replicate the dragon’s footprint and its fire breath. The tiles are aptly
crafted in Pejaten, a hub of Bali’s terracotta industry located about 10
minutes’ drive from the resort.
Designed to provide an
interactive journey, each tile will feature a QR code that is linked to a video
of the photography journey and the resort’s social media, where guests can post
their pictures instantly.
Those who manage to scan all QR codes and complete the journey can indulge in a well-earned reward such as a culinary experience at Ombak restaurant or a pampering treatment at Spa Alila.
In addition, participants will
have the opportunity to engage directly with Lorena in Spain in an e- learning
workshop conducted via skype or email from the resort. They will be able to
share their photos with her and receive technical advice and guidance on
capturing incredible landscapes with greater depth and dimension.
Designed for small groups of up to 10 or 12 guests, this fascinating journey following the trail of the Naga’s Diaries embraces the joy of discovery and the beauty of photography, while offering an unforgettable way to uncover the real essence of Bali.
