Amarta Beach Retreat by Nakula

Amarta Beach Retreat is a truly idyllic escape. The beautifully manicured gardens and stunning ocean views create a serene, private ambiance, especially with only 20 villas or rooms available. We felt as though we had the entire place to ourselves, making it the perfect destination for total relaxation. Located about two hours from Denpasar Airport, this retreat offers the chance to disconnect and unwind in a remote yet cosy paradise. We loved spending our days lounging by the inviting pools, fully embracing the art of doing nothing. The on-site restaurant was excellent, offering a variety of delicious local dishes. Favorites like soto ayam and mie goreng were perfectly prepared, and the attentive staff made our dining experiences unforgettable. A special mention to Aditya and Tia, who went above and beyond to make meal times even more enjoyable. The massages at the retreat were exceptional and added to the overall sense of rejuvenation we experienced here. If your idea of a perfect getaway is staying in a peaceful, secluded location with warm hospitality and breathtaking surroundings, Amarta Beach Retreat comes highly recommended. It’s the kind of place where you leave feeling truly refreshed and reconnected.

We stayed in the 3 bedroom Villa. Friendly staff, comfy beds, the breakfast included was great and included fresh pastries from the on-site bakery, which were lovely. We always got plenty of towels, water and the pools were very clean. They offered kids massages at the spa, and whilst not cheap, both of our kids said it was a holiday highlight. It's very out of the way, so not ideal if you want to shop etc but we didn't get hassled for anything, which was perfect! We'd been to Ubud and Nusa Penida exploring a lot so we wanted 4 nights of relaxing, enjoying the climate and being in one spot and this was 10/10 for that.

This place is a paradise, away from traffic and mass tourism of Bali. It's a bit difficult to reach, so better have a car to move around. But then you are in front of the ocean and infinite beach of black sand with most beautiful sunsets. Just perfect for a peaceful stay. We were happy with massages at the local SPA, very adequately priced. They only have one restaurant, but the choice is wide and prices are reasonable. We have just gotten back, but looking forward to returning next year. Loved the place. We went on a buggy tour with a guide (bookable at reception), and it was beautiful to see local life and rice fields.

The food was excellent and provided many options from the Lily Restaurant. The staff were fantastic and extremely courteous at all times providing a great vibe around the resort. There are 2 pools and a spa which provide plenty of options to sit back and relax.

It’s isolated. Which is why it’s a great retreat. I loved my room with the rolling lawns before it, leading down to the sea. Loved hearing the ocean at night. Really enjoyed the multiple places in the resort where I could spend time… Two swimming pools, different open area seating and lounging areas, and my room terrace. Menu was simple but tasty with local and western options, and very affordable. Room was spacious, bed comfortable never felt I was living up rules or time restrictions. Spa is lovely and my massage was very very good.
