IKIGAI Uluwatu Beach
$90-160/ nuit
Réservez si You want a stylish, minimalist 'Japandi' sanctuary within walking distance of Thomas Beach, and you plan to be out exploring during the noisy daylight hours.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Stunning 'Japandi' (Japanese-Scandi) design that feels far more expensive than it is
- Walking distance to Thomas Beach (5 min) and Padang Padang (15 min)
- Intimate boutique vibe with only ~20 rooms and personalized service
En bref : A beautiful architectural gem in a prime location that is currently battling the soundtrack of Uluwatu's aggressive construction boom.
Évalué par @juliathetraveler: I stayed in this villa for a weekend recharge and it was exactly what I needed. The mix of Japanese design and Balinese nature is stunning. My favorite part was the outdoor shower—felt so liberating. Highly recommend for couples looking to disconnect.
