Camanta Penida
$150-250/ notte
Prenota se You're an adventurous couple chasing that viral 'bamboo villa' aesthetic and don't mind sacrificing some modern comforts for the shot.
Perché piace così tanto
- Incredible 360-degree ocean and Mount Agung views
- Unique bamboo architecture that feels like a treehouse for adults
- Private rooftop infinity pools (Shell House) and jacuzzis (Manta House)
In sintesi: A stunningly photogenic bamboo glamping experience that struggles with heat, bugs, and noise once the cameras are off.
Recensito da @alikainwanderlust: I’ve stayed in many villas, but this bamboo sanctuary was special. Waking up to the ocean breeze and spending evenings by the fire pit felt like a total disconnect from reality. The private rooftop pool was my favorite spot for sunset—truly a bucket list stay.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
Many mention the heat is unmanageable during the day, and the noise from the mosque and nature can make sleep difficult.
- You want a private pool with a floating breakfast
- You are comfortable with 'glamping' (bugs, heat, nature sounds)
- You prioritize unique design and views over soundproofing
Pulizia e manutenzione
8.5
- Housekeeping: Daily cleaning is thorough, but nature fights back quickly.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but open-air bathrooms can accumulate leaves and bugs.
- Maintenance: Newer property (built ~2024), so structures are solid, but bamboo wears fast in the tropics.
- Linens & towels: Fresh, but some guests have reported stains or dampness due to humidity.
- Odors & scents: Fresh jungle air mixed with occasional smoke from village burning or incense.

FAQ e consigli nascosti
Tutto ciò che vuoi davvero sapere prima di prenotare.
Is there air conditioning?
Technically yes, but it's often a portable unit in a room that isn't fully sealed, so it blows cool air but doesn't lower the room temperature significantly.
How do I get there from the harbor?
You need a private driver or scooter. The road is rough. A transfer costs around IDR 250,000 - 300,000.
Is it private?
Mostly, but the open bamboo design means sound travels, and some angles might be visible from the road or other villas.
Are there bugs in the room?
Yes. It is a bamboo house. Ants, mosquitoes, and geckos are part of the experience.
Is breakfast included?
Yes, and it is highly rated, often served as a floating breakfast in your private pool.
Is there a restaurant on site?
There is a kitchen serving breakfast and a limited dinner menu, but for a full dining experience, you'll want to go to nearby spots like Amok Sunset.

Request the 'Manta House' if you want a private movie night—it comes with a projector setup.

The 'mini golf' listed in the Manta House is actually just a small putting green on the terrace.

Book a massage on your private deck at sunset for a fraction of the price of a resort spa.
5 cose da sapere prima di partire
💡The 'mini golf' is a tiny putting mat, not a course.
💡You will likely hear the call to prayer at 4:30 AM clearly inside your room.
💡The road to the hotel is unlit and treacherous at night—not for novice scooter drivers.
💡The 'kitchenette' is basic; don't plan on cooking full meals.
💡The staff will sometimes go to the local shop to buy you supplies since the hotel is isolated.
