Przejrzane przez @sabrinachakici: I felt like I walked into a fairytale here. The mix of vintage antiques and lush jungle is magical. My favorite part was soaking in that huge tub and then having a candlelit dinner right on my terrace. It’s the perfect romantic hideaway in Jimbaran.

FAQ i ukryte porady
Wszystko, co naprawdę chcesz wiedzieć, zanim zarezerwujesz.
Is it adults only?
No, children are welcome, but the vibe is very grown-up and quiet. There is no kids' club.
How far is the beach?
About 800 meters, which is a 10-15 minute walk or a quick ride in their free vintage VW shuttle.
Is there a gym?
No traditional gym, but they offer yoga classes in the 'Shaba Shala' pavilion.
Do the rooms have AC?
Yes, all rooms have air conditioning, though the vintage wooden structures can sometimes be less airtight than modern hotels.
Is the pool crowded?
Rarely. With three different pools for fewer than 25 rooms, you can almost always find a private spot.
Are there mosquitoes in the rooms?
It's possible. The rooms are not hermetically sealed. Use the provided mosquito nets (in some rooms) and keep doors closed at dusk.

5 rzeczy, które warto wiedzieć przed wyjazdem
💡The water pressure in the vintage showers can be temperamental—sometimes a trickle, sometimes a blast.
💡Lighting in the rooms is 'moody' (read: very dim), making it hard to apply makeup or read at night.
💡The 'shabby chic' aesthetic means some furniture is actually shabby—wobbly tables or stiff drawers are part of the deal.
💡You might share your outdoor bathroom with a gecko or two (they are harmless and eat the mosquitoes).
💡The on-site boutique sells the actual linens and decor used in the rooms, but they are pricey.
