We have recently returned from a wonderfully relaxing and enjoyable 10 night vacation at Vivara Private Pool Villas & Spa Retreat in Jimbaran, Bali. Our aim was to get away from our busy life and take a complete break. The resort comprises 48 beautiful, private, self-contained pool villas, most of which are one or two-bedroom. Each villa is like your own home-away-from home, with pool decking and lounges, an alfresco kitchen bungalow (with a daily replenishment of non-alcoholic drinks in the mini bar), outdoor rain shower and bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with lounge area. It is clear that the resort aims to make every guest’s experience as comfortable as possible. As we were so comfortable in our villa, we were determined not to become complete ‘holiday recluses’ and, despite room service being the option for many of the guests, we always walked to the poolside restaurant for breakfast each morning, afternoon tea every second day, before feasting on a fabulous evening dining experience on alternate evenings. Needless to say, we did not leave Vivara hungry! The resort is like a small community, and staff are more than happy to transport you to and from your villa using golf buggies, or you can take advantage of the communal bikes and scooters and ride around the resort pathways. Additionally, a complimentary shuttle service to and from Jimbaran Beach is available, and times are customised to guests, creating a very personalised and welcome service. Being a spa retreat, we indulged in five deep tissue massages each, and they were a highlight of our stay. The private bungalows are built in a traditional Balinese style, are quiet and calming, and the masseuses provided a comfortable, relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Thank you, so much. The heart of the resort, though, is the staff. They were all, without exception, incredibly friendly, helpful, and always keen to converse and learn about their guests, or share their insights into Bali. We cannot recommend the Vivara staff highly enough. Thank you, Keke, and all your staff, for making our stay so enjoyable. We loved being immersed in the Balinese style of the resort, and Vivara did not disappoint as the ideal place for us to unwind and relax. We have no hesitation in recommending Vivara to any visitors searching for the same experience.

Located in the Jimbaran area, surrounded by high-end hotels/hotels with Balinese-style design and private pools, you will not be bored staying in the hotel all day long. It is very close to Jimbaran Beach and Kuta Beach. , the CP value and cost-effectiveness are very high. The hotel staff are very friendly and enthusiastic to help. If you have any problems during your stay, they will always smile and treat you very professionally. I will definitely visit this hotel again.

My family and I have stayed here on a few occasions as well as other 5-star resorts, but we prefer Movenpick. The architecture is appealing from the outside to the inside. The rooms are large and well appointed with a large Bali bathtub, natural stone accents and color palette. Linens are luxurious, which include down comforters and oversized pillows. Service is superior to most Bali resorts. From the personal interaction with Maicel at the front desk to the servers in the restaurant & pool side bar….all creating a memorable & personal stay. Thank you Movenpick employees. We’ll see you in a few months for another great experience.

Kanishka provided us with the ideal holiday in Bali! It is centrally located in Seminyak. Just walk out the door and there are all the shops, restaurants and facilities. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very clean. Our room came with a private pool. The staff are friendly and helpful. We highly recommend Kanishka!

I can’t wait to return! Don’t think twice about it. I am traveling in a group of 5, I myself single in the studio worked beautifully. From arrival we were greeted at the airport quickly to the property where we were met once again with a warm welcome and orientation of our home for the next 6 days. Their story can be found on their website and is worth a read. We participated in their yoga classes, meditation, sistrum, ice bath, sound healing sessions. Kim is amazing and has impacted my life in a way no one else could touch. I wonder if she knows? A good selection from their breakfast menu was included, enjoyed it next to the pool near the ocean across the way. Potato Head was the first week of our journey to Bali and I now believe it when they say that when the stars align, you’ll know it. And Fysh, if you could be so blessed to meet her here. She took care of our group with her heart and it is still felt! I’m not going to ruin it for you. It’s something you just have to experience for yourself ✨ Pro Tip: Seva Hawaii (on Instagram) may help you elevate your experiences and curate an itinerary for you: From Bali to Java! xo, Anastasia

Magnificent Ball. Magnificent hotel that will highlight the joy of staying on the island. Excellent location, beautiful view, new rooms, wonderful breakfasts (buffet + order European and local cuisine, we tried almost all the local dishes from the menu, it was very tasty), but the most important thing is the people working in the hotel. They are always ready to help with any little thing, very friendly and kind. This improves the mood throughout the day. I celebrated my birthday during my stay, I was very nicely congratulated. On the roof there is a swimming pool with an Instagram view. Open until 10 pm. It's a 5-minute walk to the sea. There are plenty of restaurants and shops around. The evening life is nearby, but the hotel is built in such a way that it does not interfere.

Great location in Canggu. The villa is tucked away from the main street so it’s quiet and cosy. You can expect to see lizards and bugs outside the bedroom (i.e. bathroom, pool, and kitchen area) and keep a mosquito repellent handy as there are mosquitoes! On the plus side, the amenities are great - we loved that there’s Google Alexa and Netflix in our room, perfect to start and end the day with. Service is also very lovely and the staff are friendly.

Tucked away in a quaint village far from the maddening crowds in Canggu et al, this is a retreat to recharge and get away from it all. The property is architecturally interesting and the room is unusually vertical, designed as a treehouse, with a bathtub and open air relaxing area at the top. The infinity pool is surprisingly deep, and there is a natural cascading waterfall right in front of it. Absolutely hidden gem of a place.

As a female solo traveller my experience was brilliant. I stayed for 5 nights. When I arrived at night I was warmly welcomed and ushered to my villa. There were a jar of home made cookies and a welcome note by the staff which I thought added a special touch to my stay. In a nut shell, the staff, (I forget the name of their manager) were very professional and respectful. I couldn’t find one single flaw and I truly think I received a better treatment than what I paid for so thank you team. Cleanliness: The villa was squeaky clean, and was equipped with a very comfy bed, excellent lighting, fluffy pillows and duvet. Air conditioning was on point. There was turn down service which added value to the stay. Safety: I felt very safe. It was equipped with an internal safety lock and wooden bar. The pressure of water in the shower, bath and outside shower was perfect. Location: The location of the villa was a bit of a walk from the reception but there was a buggy service if one wanted. I preferred to walk and stroll in the resort. The resort was a Grab ride away from the town and near places but Keramas beach was on site. Pool: the pool was the highlight of the villa. It was spacious, clean and had privacy. Restaurant: there is Timur restaurant on site which has delicious food on offer. Most of the nights I stayed in and had my meal there. The breakfast was equally good with generous helpings. Cons: just be prepared that they’re maybe a gecko or two outside but that’s because you’re out in the nature and in a warm climate.

Bernie and I stayed at Akah Cottages for just under a week and were pleasantly surprised by the high level of hospitality and customer service provided by the owner and her staff. The rooms were beautifully maintained and demonstrated a love for the property itself. We had dinner one night at the restaurant and the home-cooked meals were authentic and delicious. After staying at supposed '5-star' accommodation back in Bali, these ritzy hotels didn't come close to Akah in terms of true attention to detail, care and customer service. Our host was lovely and we will definitely be coming back. Thanks for taking such good care of us! Olivia & Bernie
