Each villa is spacious and designed with local materials and cultural elements, reflecting the island’s rich heritage.

We loved our villa! It had the perfect blend of indoor/outdoor space and felt timeless, but still luxurious beyond compare.
Dining
The resort’s dining options are truly exceptional, offering a blend of Indonesian and international flavors. Taman Wantilan serves a mouthwatering buffet for breakfast and dinner, complete with an entire room dedicated to sweets, homemade treats and tropical fresh fruit.
Alu, the resort’s casual poolside cafe serves us yummy versions of your favorite street dishes and snack foods. Enjoy a mouth-watering meal at Sundara while watching the sun set over Bali’s longest beachfront pool. For a unique dining experience, book a private dinner on the beach or join a cooking class to learn the secrets of Balinese cuisine. Our kids attended the Jala Cooking Academy where they learned to make Klepon, a delicious plant-based Balinese dessert.
We had an incredible time enjoying the buffet for breakfast AND dinner :) The options were plentiful and every dish was better than the next. The chef catered to our plant-based diet and generously obliged our requests. Sometimes, the chef would just surprise us with dishes he prepared especially for our family.
Wellness and Spa
The Healing Village Spa is a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation, drawing inspiration from Balinese traditions and holistic healing practices.
You can indulge in a wide range of treatments, from massages and facials to body scrubs and wraps…
The spa uses natural and locally sourced ingredients, offering a true connection to the island’s beauty and vitality. Yoga classes and wellness programs are also available to help you unwind and achieve inner balance.
We enjoyed a few speciality treatments at the serene spa. Amy’s massage included a sound bath, healing crystals and color therapy, making it a truly one of a kind healing experience.
We left feeling completely relaxed, so we had to return and try the Longevity Garden experience. This was a wonderful way to reconnect as a couple.
The ritual included a coconut soap exfoliation in the steam shower, followed by a full body mud mask, after which we relaxed on the infrared mat while drinking from young coconuts. Then, we rinsed in the outdoor shower and took a refreshing dip in the cold plunge.
It was the perfect way to spend the afternoon while our kids were having a blast with the warm and caring counselors at the brand new Kids Club, complete with a wading pool, custom bamboo play structure, reading nook, all natural toys and a comfy lounge to watch movies and play games.
