Hotels near CAHAYA ABADI, Bali

We stayed at Nalika for the weekend when they held a special event in collaboration with a restaurant in Lovina called 10th Table. From the moment we arrived on Friday afternoon we were treated so kindly. The entire team couldn’t do enough to ensure we were happy. It is clear the owners invest time in training the staff particularly from a food and beverage perspective. My partner and I are vegetarian so we let them know this in advance, as not all Balinese accommodation providers cater to vegetarian variety). All I can say is that the kitchen team went beyond our expectations to the point where we are still thinking about how tasty the meal was on our first night. The pictures might help show the variety we enjoyed. We went Dolphin spotting and watched the sunrise on Saturday morning using the boat belonging to the resort and on Saturday night we enjoyed the special event, which was so well organised and again offered a great selection of dishes. Breakfast on both mornings brough creativity and taste together once again. I can highly recommend Nalika Beach Resort not only for it’s prime location on the beach, but the service and above all else the food. Thank you!

A beautiful little boutique resort located on the beachfront, with only nine rooms. What a find. It is a lovely oasis of peace located just out of Lovina. The resort has a calm, easy-going, relaxed vibe. There are plenty of sun-loungers to stretch out on, lovely tropical grounds and a glorious pool. The rooms are luxuriously appointed, and the Bora Bora restaurant has high-quality, healthy food, a fabulous Western and local menu and a full bar. You will be delighted to know the food prices are local. Nothing is over USD 13. The highlight is the sunrise dolphin experience, and you can take a boat (local prices) straight from the front of the hotel. You avoid the many boat operators, which operate from the main town of Lovina, some 20 minutes away. You have this beautiful stretch of water to yourself. There are many local secret little finds - ask the front desk. The most memorable discovery was the local Buddhist temple. Just 15 minutes away with a mini Borobudur, peaceful meditation halls and golden Buddha statues dotted throughout the spacious grounds. It’s a stunning oasis of nature, peace and beauty. Nearby are the hot springs, and there are also waterfalls to visit. A full massage service is available - choose your massage spot - on the grassy lawn, the beach, or in the privacy of your room. The Mayo is famous for its sunsets. Take a long walk, let the black volcanic sand massage your feet, and soak in all those therapeutic minerals. This resort is incredible value for money, and the warm, personal staff and excellent service make the Mayo feel like home. Truly marvellous.

We have just finished a four night stay at Inbalance Resort and can highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway. The resort has a tranquil vibe and is located not far from Lovina. We stayed in villa #1 which is right next to the pool and the beach. We loved listening to the calming sound of the ocean and relaxing on the veranda. The room was clean and comfortable and had a lovey outdoor garden bathroom. Paul is a great host and is very helpful with tourism and any needs you may have. We would definitely want to return in the future.

This has been my best accommodation in Bali and it is difficult to know where to start. The setting is nothing short of spectacular with mountains and tropical forest and the views from everywhere are spellbinding. The rental villa is comfortable, furnished with great taste boasting traditional Balinese open roof bathroom. The grounds are also great, dominated by a huge swimming pool flanked by two dolphin sculptures and instead of canvas-made shade with lounging chairs, the owners planted a tree in the shape of a parasol: a marvellous touch. The owners, Jack and Karien were nost gracious and invited me for a traditional Balinese dinner and showed me their own villa which has many pieces of art (paintings and sculptures) created by Karien. And, as for the gigantic opne air bathroom, I think even Cleopatra would have been pleased! Last but not the least, the owners also assembled a gerat staff. The cook Koma is great and the butler Sudi also perfect. Thank you so much for your hospitality Jack and Karien.
