Kalandara Resort

Reserva-ho si You want a private infinity pool with a killer ocean view for a fraction of the price of a Bali villa.
Per Què Agrada Tant
- Private infinity pools in every villa
- Breathtaking hillside views of the ocean and sunset
- Incredibly attentive staff who remember your name
Vista ràpida: A stunning visual masterpiece on a steep hill that trades beach access for views and requires patience with a slow funicular lift.
Revisat per @dylan_denhartog: I stayed in a private villa here and it was the most romantic escape ever. The ocean views from my private pool were insane, and the bamboo architecture makes you feel one with nature. Perfect for a honeymoon.

Preguntes freqüents i consells amagats
Tot allò que realment vols saber abans de reservar.
Is there a gym?
No, there is no fitness center on site. You'll have to get your workout from swimming or yoga.
Is it directly on the beach?
No. It is on a hill across the road. There is a free shuttle to the beach (Mangsit) which takes about 2 minutes driving.
Is the pool private?
Yes, every villa has its own private infinity pool. There is also a main public infinity pool near the restaurant.
How do I get around the resort?
You use a unique funicular (incline lift) or call for a golf buggy. Walking up the hill is strenuous.
Is alcohol served?
Yes, the Amatera Restaurant & Bar serves cocktails, wine, and beer.
Is it suitable for kids?
It's allowed, but the vibe is heavily skewed toward couples. The steep drops and lack of kids' club make it less ideal for toddlers.
