Gajah Mina Beach Resort

Perched atop a small cliff and overlooking a dramatic ocean scene, Gajah Mina Beach Resort is a must-visit on your next trip to Bali. Volcanic sands, breaking waves and amazing rock formations make for some seriously impressive photograph opportunities, as does the expansive 2-hectare tropical garden.

Comprising of individual villas and family-run, tranquility, there is charm in abundance here. Add in its secluded location and it’s no surprise that life takes place at a leisurely pace at Gajah Mina. All in all, this is an excellent spot to bask on dreamy beaches, stroll along lapping shores and enjoy some well-deserved peace and quiet.

Sample your way through French, Indonesian and Thai dishes in the hotel restaurant, Naga, where sensational views complement the meals perfectly. All food is prepared using locally-sourced, organic produce, so you can get a truly authentic taste of Bali.

Sprawled across several villas, the 11 rooms are furnished using natural materials such as volcanic stone and coconut wood. Most offer spectacular views and some even feature their own private verandas and pools.

Catch a few waves at the surfing beach down the road or while away your afternoon on sun-drenched sands. After a day in the sun, cool off in the pool – some rooms even come with their own private pool.

For an extra dose of TLC, head to the spa where you can get a massage with one heck of a view. Yoga, tai chi and reflexology are also available as are a range of spa treatments. If you skimped a little too much on the suncream, the all important Sun Burn Soother treatment is a must.

Free Wi-fi is available.
