Why People Love It

- Infinity pool with epic sunset views over the Indian Ocean
- Peaceful, secluded vibe compared to the chaos of Canggu or Seminyak
Quick Take: A visually spectacular eco-resort that is currently battling the reality of Uluwatu's construction boom and the inevitable jungle bugs.
Reviewed by @alexandra_gonova: I honestly didn't want to leave this treehouse. Waking up surrounded by the jungle canopy was surreal, and the sunset dinner by the pool was the perfect way to end the day. It feels so secluded yet luxurious—definitely one of my favorite stays in Uluwatu.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
The 'peaceful' vibe is frequently interrupted by construction hammering, and the on-site food is considered overpriced for Bali standards.
- You are comfortable riding a scooter to get around
- You want a unique, photogenic room design (treehouse style)
- You prioritize sunset pool sessions over beach access
Cleanliness & Maintenance
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally attentive, but 'missed spots' and dust are common due to the open-air nature of the buildings.
- Bathroom hygiene: Modern and stylish, but complaints of mold in grout lines and damp smells are frequent due to humidity.
- Maintenance: Newer resort but showing signs of wear; reports of broken A/C units and peeling varnish.
- Linens & towels: Fresh and clean, though pool towels can run out during peak hours.
- Odors & scents: Mostly fresh jungle air, occasionally marred by musty dampness in the rooms or burning trash smells from neighbors.

FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is it walking distance to the beach?
No. Padang Padang Beach is about 1.5-2km away on steep, hot roads with no sidewalks. You need wheels.
Is there a lot of construction noise?
Yes. Reviews from late 2025 and early 2026 consistently mention noise from both internal resort expansion and neighboring villa projects.
Are the rooms bug-proof?
No. The wooden structures have gaps, and it's in a dense jungle. Expect ants, mosquitoes, and geckos inside.
Is the pool private?
Most rooms do not have private pools. The main infinity pool is shared, stunning, and the social hub of the resort.
Is it good for families?
The 2-bedroom Treehouse Villa is great for families, but the steep terrain and lack of kids' club make it better for older kids than toddlers.
How is the WiFi?
Surprisingly good. Most guests report speeds of 25+ Mbps, suitable for remote work.
Insider Tips
- ✨
The 'Studio N' rooms are significantly cheaper but lack the treehouse magic; spend the extra for the elevation.
- ✨
Rent a scooter directly from the hotel to avoid the hassle of finding a rental agency that delivers.
- ✨
The sunset view from the Octagon restaurant is just as good as the pool but less crowded.
