The dry and scratchy landscape around Seraya Shores, Seraya Berat, East Bali

The luxurious verdure and pool of turquoise was a stark contrast with the dusty and scratchy landscape in which Seraya Shores has been implanted. The patch next door was for sale, but at a price which had the wealthy Australians' need for it way factored in. There are no real estate agents which deal with little pieces of land like this out in the sticks. Little signs posted to trees marked "di jual" signify the place is for sale, and from there, it's direct negotiation with the villagers. Bali
