The iconic 'pool in the clouds' photo op that actually lives up to the hype
Genuine silence and cool mountain air (a rare break from Bali's humidity)
Extremely private villas tucked into a working coffee plantation
Snabb Överblick: It is a long, winding drive to get here and there is nothing to do but relax, so if you get bored easily, you will struggle.
Recenserat av @Universal_Traveller: I’ve never felt peace like this. Swimming in the infinity pool felt like floating in the clouds, and ending the day by a crackling fire was pure magic. It’s the perfect escape.

The hype
Travelers are universally blown away by the infinity pool and the staff's warmth, often calling it a 'bucket list' stay.

Some guests found the food menu limited for longer stays since there are few off-site dining options nearby.
You are a nature lover who prefers hiking and waterfalls to beach clubs
You want a romantic, secluded escape where you don't need to leave the property
You appreciate eco-conscious luxury and farm-to-table dining
Renlighet & Underhåll
9.5
Housekeeping: Excellent daily service with thoughtful turndown touches like marigold flowers.
Bathroom hygiene: Generally spotless, though the humid climate can make grout tricky to keep perfect.
Maintenance: Very good, though some wood elements show signs of weathering due to the damp mountain air.
Linens & towels: Fresh and high quality, but can feel slightly damp to the touch due to humidity.
Odors & scents: Smells of clove and coffee (from the plantation) or rain; one report of a musty room.

Innan du bokar
Bra att veta
There is no AC in the rooms because it is not needed; the mountain air is naturally cool.
The resort offers a free shuttle to nearby lakes and waterfalls, so you don't always need a driver.
Book your spa treatments in advance as the Bamboo Spa is small and popular.
Vad du ska packa
A light jacket or sweater — it drops to 18°C (64°F) at night
Hiking shoes — the plantation trails and nearby waterfalls can be slippery
Motion sickness pills — the drive up from the coast is intense

Rum att undvika
Garden Suites — if you are coming specifically for the view, these are less impressive than the villas

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the pool really as good as the photos?
Yes, the main infinity pool is spectacular, especially at sunset. However, it can get foggy, so wake up early for the clearest views.
Can I eat outside the resort?
Technically yes, but options are limited. 'Warung One Munduk' and 'Lalapan Hosana' are short drives away, but most guests eat on-site due to the remote location.
Is it suitable for families?
Yes, children are welcome and there are family villas, but the vibe is very quiet and romantic. It's not a 'kids club' kind of resort.
How do I get there?
The hotel can arrange a transfer (approx. 850,000 IDR). It's a 2.5-3 hour drive from Denpasar Airport.
Is there a gym?
Yes, there is a small but functional gym on-site.
Are there mosquitoes?
Fewer than on the coast due to the altitude, but they still exist. Villas come with mosquito nets.

5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'cloud forest' location means your swimsuit might never fully dry.
💡You might be woken up by the sound of roosters or geckos, not traffic.
💡The road to the hotel is narrow and steep; inexperienced scooter drivers should be very careful.
💡The 'Sunset Bar' view is weather-dependent; if the fog rolls in, you see nothing.
💡You are effectively captive for meals unless you hire a driver, so budget accordingly for resort dining.
