The Menjangan Resort
The Menjangan Resort and Spa is, by far, our favorite place to stay in Bali. We've visited 4 times already and return regularly for many reasons.
The resort is quite secluded, nestled in a natural park and right by the ocean. The resort is quite widespread, meaning one will use safari cars to get from one place to another. For example, from the Monsoon Lodge to the beach are (beach, jetty, Pantai restaurant).
We've stayed at both, the Monsoon lodge and the beach villas. While the Monsoon lodge has a pool, the spacious beach villas do not but they are - as the name suggests - located right on the beach. From here one can watch deer and monkeys lingering around, especially during low tide.
The highlight of the Menjangan Resort are its staff: extremely kind and helpful, professional and discreet. They all add a personal touch to one's day by knowing the guest's daily activity and asking how it was. The hospitality is simply amazing and we greatly appreciate it
The food is amazing: they serve Indonesian and International cuisine and it's always incredibly delicious.
We visited the Menjangan post-Covid and they no longer had a dive center on site, but no worries: they highly recommended a locale dive center which came to pick us up by boat or car every day. By boat when diving around Menjangan island and by car when diving in Pemuteran.
