An intimate boutique hideaway in the hills of Eastern Bali that combines comfort and style with an authentically Balinese experience. Ten cosy, stylish villas are tucked into a valley surrounded by emerald rice paddies and mist-shrouded volcanic peaks, each with charming 4-poster beds, simple yet bright décor and thatched-style roofs.

 The small spa overlooking the river offers a good range of treatments, and the open-style library, bar and infinity pool are all delightful places to stay and marvel at the stunning natural vistas. The views from each villa and almost every part of the resort is absolutely spectacular, and the staff is lovely, whether serving up your afternoon tea on the terrace or taking you on a complimentary trek across the paddy fields.

With a range of other activities on offer, such as rafting, cooking class, boat rides and even shopping in Ubud, this lovely hotel is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Bali’s main tourist areas, with relaxation, unique excursions and rural charm all in equal measure. 

 

Deluxe - This is our first really 'upmarket' category. It might be a beautiful tiny hotel with very limited facilities or a 5* resort hotel with all the trimmings; but any hotel in this category will be a well-run establishment with very comfortable rooms, a strong service ethos and excellent food.

Travel Guide to Indonesia
Indonesia Guide

Indonesia is an archipelago of over 17,000 islands, and a treasure trove of diversity. Yet many travellers only ever see Bali. Inspired by the Balinese philosophy 'Sekala, Niskala' (The Seen & The Unseen), our guide delves into both the highlights and hidden gems. Experience spiritual rituals in tucked-away temples, unique funeral rites in Sulawesi, and adventures in the 'Ring of Fire'. This guide lays out an unforgettable journey, revealing the magic beyond the usual tourist spots.

We simplify accommodation choices, from beach retreats to boutique hotels, and share must-try dishes and cultural quirks like why Indonesians wear winter coats in summer. When you're ready, chat to our Indonesia experts to tailor your perfect immersive experience through this colossal country.
