We were tired of scratching around like chickens amidst the chaos, heat and grime of lowland Bali, so we left Kuta for the mountains and found a gem of a spot. Bali Mountain Retreat lies on what must be the last pristine forested mountain left on the whole island, and offers a taste of what Bali must have been like... More

Bali Mountain Retreat offers a haven of peace and beauty. After travelling the steep & deteriorating roads to get there you really feel like you're away from the bustle of regular life.
