Excellent location for our student study trip as well Tucked away under the silently watchful eye of the Batukaru mountain lies this deeply peaceful Bali Mountain Retreat. The retreat which is often used for yoga and trekking activities, turned out to be an excellent location for our student study trip as well. Set in the maintains away from the tourist spots, amongst the local village and staffed by local villagers, It served to be a true local experience. Activities such as rice field and plantation treks, local community volunteering opportunities, visiting local temples and banana leaf picnics are a few of the many things one could indulge in by visiting this place. Special mention to the staff who went out of their way to accommodate our needs. It was a real learning experience for us, an international group of university students from Singapore, India, Indonesia, Germany, Serbia and Australia.

matériel à disposition et bénéficiant d’une vue reposante. Nous avons profité d’un massage traditionnel balinais qui nous a ravi . Le seul parmis notre trip à utiliser des pierres chaudes. Accompagnés d’une hôte de l'hôtel, nous avons fait un trek dans la jungle et avons participé à une cérémonie dans un temple, là encore le moment était unique. Les chambres sont de tout confort et fonctionnelles et au matin, les choix du petit déjeuner sont variés dont quelques uns faits maison. Le personnel est très souriant et très accueillant. Nous recommandons vivement cet espace de repos unique !

Una perla nascosta tra il Monte Gunung Batukau. Siamo lontani dalla folla turistica di altre zone dell’isola. Qui la natura domina tutto e batte il cuore palpitante di una Bali remota. Un luogo rilassante e meditativo. La vegetazione è verdissima ricca di acqua. L’aria è fresca e pura. L’hotel ha diverse abitazioni in stile tradizionale Balinese. Il giardino è paradisiaco con molte piante e fiori. La nostra camera era confortevole e ampia, tutta in legno. Una bella terrazza con vista è adibita a sala ristorazione. Pochi ospiti, struttura a misura d’uomo, una meraviglia. Tutto è molto semplice ed essenziale come i luoghi nei dintorni. Lo staff è informale e cordiale, sembra di essere ospiti di una famiglia e questo ci piace. Il cibo è stata una vera sorpresa. Una buonissima cucina casalinga preparata al momento con ingredienti freschi.

We stayed for four days in August, we where the only guests which has a bonus , all to ourselves. The rooms are good and comfortable,the view from the tower is stunning at sunrise. The food was good ,limited due to availability and location but fresh, the staff are happy and friendly. Massage is available ( Lucy) gave us a welcome mid strength,which was perfect. Also we walk with a guide to the temple and due to the lack of people had a solo ceremony which was intimate. Yoga is available when they are busy. Enjoy our stay , reasonable price also . Strange it was actually cold some days up in the mountains be prepared.no mossies at all

Romantic, quiet getaway with many options Bali Mountain Retreat is hidden away on Mount Batu Kari, one of Bali's holy mountains and major temples. The resort is fully staffed in a beautiful location with a wide selection of room types. They have a full restaurant with a beautiful view. The grounds are lush and well maintained. The staff is helpful and can arrange most anything you may be interested in, from yoga and massage to local sightseeing and trekking. They can even host groups looking for a private retreat.

Tranquillity, integrity, simplicity, hospitality This beautiful authentic retreat nestled on the slopes of Mount Batukaru, Bali's second highest mountain, combines local hospitality with traditional style and good home cooking.The views are a million dollar and the tranquillity is a priceless experience well worth the pilgrimage you make to arrive here. Extra activities include spa options, treks to local temples and lessons in making offerings as well as cooking classes. Working to maintain a low eco footprint this is a space for those who care about the planet and who want to experience a deep harmony with Mother Earth. The traditional studio lends it self to groups for yoga, sacred dance, and other arts.

A peaceful escape in the mountains I stayed at Bali Mountain Retreat for four nights. It was a great place to stay as a solo traveller. The staff were so lovely and helpful, the food in the restaurant was delicious and they were great at catering for dietary requirements, including having lots of vegetarian options. I did two of the tours offered, including a rice field trek and a temple walk. Both were incredible experiences. I was lucky to meet some other guests during my stay who I spent some time with. One of my favourite things was being able to start the morning watching the sunrise over the mountains and doing some yoga in the Yoga Shala (which I often had to myself). Staying up in the mountains in such a unique experience and gives you a real feeling of Balinese life. I could have stayed much longer!

Bali Shangrila More than adequate room in beautiful surroundings. Our stay at the BMR was a much needed calming and relaxing experience that was not long enough. The welcoming staff were friendly and patient with us during various activities especially our attemps at offering making! Oh how easy that was made to look and how difficult for us to do. The walk to Pura Munaksari was beautiful and informative followed by a very spiritual ceremony at the temple. Thank you Putu. We both had wonderful pampering from Lucy who helped me subide into relaxation with her ministrations. The food was fantastic as stated in every review. Putri was smiling informative and helpful. Even helped finding a lost watch after hours. Thank you to the whole team. Our stay was so short and we will certainly be back. Blessings to you all Judy and Lesley
