Villa Campuhan

I can only describe Villa Campuhan as a bit of heaven on earth! Comprised of six Balinese-style bungalows over a large, seaside compound, it's an ideal place to get away from the tourists and traffic jams that you might encounter elsewhere on the island. The bungalows are spacious, clean, comfortable, and very well spread out from others. There's no beach (only rocks) but the crashing surf is a relaxing, ever-present part of the experience. Meals are served in a separate, open-air building or on your bungalow's expansive porch. Over our three nights, we enjoyed breakfast in the dining hall and opted for lunches and dinners on our porch. If there's a potential negative, please know that you are quite a bit away from any local restaurants or stores. But, with that said, you can order lunches, dinners, and drinks the night before to enable the staff to shop for fresh ingredients at a local market. And while you could be wary of being a captive customer, please know that the food and beverages were as a rule excellent and prices quite reasonable. We arranged for a body massage and foot massage one morning and enjoyed both a few hours later on our porch that afternoon. We also called on the Villa's driver/guide Dewa for a day of sightseeing and can report he did an excellent job in showing us the sights of east Bali. A great big "terima kasih" to the entire staff who were very friendly and professional. Special thanks, too, to managers Roma and Ketut for their help in making our three-night stay at Villa Campuhan the unquestioned highlight of our eight-night visit to Bali.

This is my favorite place on Bali. From the moment you enter the grounds it is as if you are in another world. The road to get there is off the beaten track, one lane and only room for one small vehicle. But one it opens up to the property, it’s amazing! The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks immediately brings a peacefulness. No traffic sounds or noise. Just nature. We were greeted and taken to our lovely villa. The villas are spotless and perfectly appointed. We had a bowl of fruit and a lovely welcome juice ready for us. Ketut and the staff could not have been more welcoming and accommodating. We decided on a massage. That takes place in a lovely outdoor setting where you can relax to the sound of the waves. Perfection! Our fresh meals were prepared and could be served in the lounge house or in our villa. They were made to order. The ingredients were shopped that morning at the local market and perfectly prepared for us. We laid by the pool, read books in our open air villa looking over the pond, walked the property and enjoyed the natural landscaping, and relaxed. I don’t say this lightly, but Villa Campuhan is like a paradise. If you find yourself in Bali, it is worth the drive to get to this incredible spot!

I am in love with Villa Campuhan! It was one of my best stays in Bali and I've been coming here for 15 years. The location is spectacular. I stayed in Villa Agung and could have stayed forever. It is a masterpiece of pure Bali simple elegance... an amazing wooden structure, every angle with a view including both ocean and mountain views, wonderful private infinity pool - all together it gives a feeling of peace and harmony with a rare embrace of the ocean at your feet and the mountains hugging your back. Wonderful hiking nearby...Better than any five star hotel ! The staff were perfect, so kind and caring... and the food was fantastic. Don't miss a chance to visit Villa Campuhan... thank you to everyone there, I'll be back a.s.a.p. !!!
