Sahaja Sawah Resort — Hotel in Pulau Bali

Sahaja Sawah Resort truly exceeded all of our expectations and more during our recent stay in Bali. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms and treated with the utmost warmth and hospitality. If you're planning a trip to Bali, this resort should be your number one choice without a doubt.

Upon checking in, we were delighted to find that our reservation included a delicious breakfast each morning. This was a fantastic way to start our days of exploration and relaxation on the island. The breakfast spread was not only delicious but also diverse, catering to various dietary preferences and ensuring that there was something for everyone to enjoy.

One of the highlights of our stay was the stunning villa we were fortunate enough to call home during our time at Sahaja Sawah Resort. The villa was simply breathtaking, with luxurious amenities and tasteful decor that truly made us feel like royalty. The private pool was a particular favorite of ours, offering a tranquil oasis where we could unwind and soak up the beautiful surroundings.

In addition to the exceptional accommodations, the service at Sahaja Sawah Resort was unparalleled. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that our every need was met, from arranging transportation and excursions to providing personalized recommendations for dining and activities in the area. Their attention to detail and genuine care for their guests truly set this resort apart from any other.

One of the things we appreciated most about our stay was the convenience of being able to order food to our room. After a day of exploring Bali's breathtaking landscapes and cultural attractions, it was incredibly convenient to be able to enjoy a delicious meal in the comfort of our own villa. The food was always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, further enhancing our overall experience at the resort.

Beyond the luxurious accommodations and impeccable service, Sahaja Sawah Resort also boasts a prime location that provides easy access to some of Bali's most iconic attractions. Whether you're looking to explore the vibrant nightlife of Seminyak, immerse yourself in the rich culture of Ubud, or simply relax on the pristine beaches of Nusa Dua, this resort serves as the perfect home base for all of your Bali adventures.

In summary, our experience at Sahaja Sawah Resort was nothing short of extraordinary. From the warm welcome upon our arrival to the impeccable service throughout our stay, every aspect of our experience exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for the ultimate luxury getaway in Bali, look no further than Sahaja Sawah Resort. We can't wait to return and create even more unforgettable memories...

You will be welcomed by Ariani (managing director) and you will enjoy the superlative service & warm hospitality of her 20+ Balinese colleagues & friends - including Ngurah John (manager), Tia (reception), Uni & Ayu (food & beverage), Dek Pur & Luh (chef), Ketut (maintenance) and Tom (IT), among others.

The money you spend here will do much good to help support the local village community.

And the time you spend here will be priceless.

So what is one thing that is especially special about Sahaja Sawah Resort (other than their superb staff and world class resort facilities)?

It's their location!!!

This winter, we find ourselves paying homage to the ruins of the iconic Acropolis in Athens; soaking in spectacular sunsets from the outdoor jacuzzi of our whitewash villa perched by the edge of the caldera in stunning Santorini; gently cruising along the Nile River exploring Eqyptian antiquity; and staying a month at Sahaja Sawah Resort completely surrounded north, south, east and west by miles and miles of verdant green rice terraces on Asia's #1 island destination: beautiful Bali.

Originally built in 2010 by Dutch owner/philantropist/humanitarian/developer/entrepreneur Bernard van Elmpt, Sahaja Sawah (meaning "only rice fields") was subsequently completely renovated in 2014 and it is without doubt one of the most surprisingly pleasurable places to stay at for an authentic rural Balinese experience.

All the popular tourist hotspots in Bali - from Uluwatu to Nusa Dua, Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud and Kintamani - can easily be covered with a couple of well-planned day trips from using this (seemingly) remote resort as your homebase.

When staying at Sahaja Sawah Resort, be sure to also include a day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Jatiluwih Rice Terraces nearby and Pura Ulun Danu Beratan ... both stunningly cinematic locations!!

If you relish the joy & freedom of driving on your own - just as we do - book an APV ahead of time before arriving in Bali (to arrange for a vehicle rental pickup at the airport) and plot a course through the highlands from the resort to Pupuan, Bubunan, Lovina, Singaraja, Gitgit and Danau Beratan for an amazingly exhilarating road trip of a lifetime!

For very competitive vehicle rental rates and trustworthy reputation, do a search for BaliCarFinder.

Here is another tip: save up to 50% by booking with Sahaja Sawah Resort for longer term stays.

HAVE A FANTASTIC...

Staying in Sahaja Sawah is the best travel experience we have ever had. Here you leran how to smile again - non-stop:). Starting with the excellent communications with Ariani who answered all our questions to feeling like staying at the middle of a postcard, because its just so picturesque and authentic!

The apartement is located in a NON-profit resort (could you belive that one exists!!?) - when we heard about this, we were absolutely blown away because all the money they make, goes straight into supproting local people to educate their kids and support the families.

The hosts are so hospitable and thoughtful that there is no way to rate the stay less than 5 stars. Our favourite moments include late nigh chats with everybody at the reception lounge, looking at stars while swimming in the pool at night and observing how real balinese live their unobstructed day-by-day lives.

It is a perfect venue for a super relaxing family vacation. Kids can run arond the property, meeting and playing with other international kids. While we where there, Bernard, the owner of our unit, built a baby playground right next to a lounge area - what a perfect setup!

This is a truly a hidden gem at the middle of rice fields with an amazing ocean view from the balcony. I wish I could take the view with me and have it forever.

There are so many qualities to list, that I could go on and on: pool and play toys, super safe surroundings, daily cleaning, list of authentic Balinese experiences to book a fun activity with kids.I personally loved HGTV and English news channels :D - you dont get this in many Airbnb houses.

The family vacation could not be any better with altering pool days with pottery, temple visits, Tanah Lot (only 40 minutes from there!) and shopping in the markets.

They do amazing Christmas and New Years parties that blowed our minds! After visiting Sahaja Sawah, we can truly say we have been visiting the real, authentic Bali while staying in super comfortable housing and people who are now our lifelong friends! Miss you all...
