The Jiwana Bali Villa

very relaxing - away from the chaos that you find in many places in bali. The staff is exceptionally kind and helpful especially Billy who truly made our trip and took amazing care of us- the Villa is lucky to have him. You need a scooter to get around but they will help arrange that (there is a grocery story and one restaurant within walking distance) we loved the semi outdoor bathroom and the pool and sweet dogs. we doubled the length of our stay here because we liked it so much

We had a wonderful time at Jiwana Bali Villa. The property is located on a hillock and is absolutely gorgeous. A splash of bougainvillea adds to the charm. The cottages are spacious, with all amenities provided and a special Bali vibe that comes along. The washroom was quite unique, with a blend of nature and earthy tones and a glass roof that gives a gorgeous view of the sky above. Check in was smooth and the welcome drink was delicious.

Jiwana is an oasis of peace and tranquility. This place has a very Balinese feel and, as a budget traveller, I felt it was of very good quality. There are even bathrobes and slippers to use! Everything about the villa just works to create comfort. It's spacious, the furnishings are lovely, the bed was super comfy and the indoor outdoor bathroom was functional and beautiful. The bathroom is mostly undercover, just the plants along the wall get a good soak when it rains. There was plenty of space to unpack and lots of surfaces to organise my stuff. The heavy curtains ensured a good level of darkness for sleep. The outdoor seating was another positive feature. The gardens are immaculate and the pool had steps and a ladder, and it was a good temperature. Not too warm and not too cold. There is a water dispenser set up in the lobby for refilling your bottles. Which is so handy. The location is really quiet, but if you listen really closely, you might hear some motorbikes going by, but it's really on a side road. It's a few minutes walk to a supermarket and a couple of warungs. Wooden House warung is 950m and served up a very tasty meal. I walked there, but Grab taxies are plentiful. This was a great start to my month in Bali, and has proven to be a hard act to follow.

We loved our stay here. Well equipped and nicely furnished bungalows. Lush greenery, very clean pool. The location might feel quite isolated for some people, for us it worked great though. It’s a 10 minutes drive to Melasti, approx 30 minutes drive to Balangan, Uluwatu and other nearby beaches (easily booked via Gojek). Due to the restaurant being closed, we ate at D Warung and Made Bakery (both reasonably priced with excellent quality food). There’s some other options 10 minutes walk from the place.

The place its a little paradise to relax and to enjoy holidays without stress or noise. With moto ( they will help you with the moto rental), you can enjoy the area ( 10 min to Melasti Beach), and you will find peace and nature after your day. We loved our balcony and to enjoy the swimming pool in the morning just with the sound of nature. The staff its super friendly, always trying to provide everything they you need. Thank you to all the staff, always with a smile and super friendly to us.
