The Menjangan by LifestyleRetreats

Such a special place. The Menjangan Resort offers the perfect escape if you're looking to disconnect and recharge for a few days. The entire resort is set inside a protected area, surrounded by nature, and it truly feels like you’ve stepped out of the real world for a while. There’s so much to do — snorkeling from the jetty, horseback riding, relaxing on the beach, or just enjoying the peace and quiet in your room nestled in the forest. One of the best parts is the safari-style taxis that take you between the different areas of the resort — they’re free, arrive quickly, and the drivers are always super kind and helpful. Everyone we met was incredibly friendly, and the vibe is very calm and easygoing. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or even solo, it’s definitely worth spending a few days here. Nature, comfort, and genuine hospitality all in one.

We had the perfect trip to The Menjangan! My husband’s colleague had stayed here previously and told us about it, otherwise we might have missed this beautiful piece of paradise untouched. We visited for 3 nights in the middle of our 12 night trip to Bali and called it our vacation from vacation. Immediately upon arrival the open air lodge like lobby is a welcome reprieve from the busy Bali streets. The staff so welcoming and helpful and there are shuttles (in safari like vehicles, highly recommend the top deck!) to and from the rooms, restaurants and even other properties within the National park. Happy Hour on the 5th deck watching sunset is one of the best spots we’ve ever watched a sunset and simply unforgettable. The Balinese BBQ dinner was delicious and the dancing was so interesting. The rooms are simple but huge, and the outdoor washroom is amazing! And sitting on the deck in front of our room watching the tide roll out and a group of 7 deer frolic and swim while the monkeys play on the shore was a highlight of the trip for sure. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed it here and would recommend experiencing this NW natural beauty to anyone!

All of the above are so true. The staff cannot do enough for you and the room is perfect, very anti bug too. In a Balinese style the tower, rooms fit in to the area. It is very peaceful, calming and quiet. The food is excellent, prepared fresh and is hot. I went snorkelling, which I can highly recommend and kayaking around the bay which as great. The massages are very good and perfect to relax you. The view from the Tower is fantastic although the weather was cloudy so we couldn’t see a sunset. Although we did encounter deers and monkeys on the beach while eating breakfast.
