Amarta Beach Retreat by Nakula

Location Staff

The location is out of this world. Very green, lush and with private beach. All staff were just so great that we felt like being treated by family. To name a few Mr. Gede (the F&B manager) is a gem. He made sure we were taken care or to the smallest detail. A true professional yet so homely at the same time. Also the General Manager Mr. Made made sure he talked to each guest atleast once every single day - something which is rare these days. Also, Ms. Setia, Ms. Wina, Ms. Tia, Ms. Indra (from spa), Mr. Putu (supervisor), Mr. Dewa(housekeeping) and Mr. Zafan, deserves special mention for their extremely professional and warm hospitality. They truly are assets to Amarta. We had a small discomfort at our Villa and the management was more than happy to listen to us and do the needful at all times to make us feel comforted thereafter. Bed and Pillows are so comfy. The property was so good that we cancelled our next booking at another property and ended up staying in Amarta for seven nights instead of our original plan of three nights. Thank you very much Team Amarta for giving us a lifetime of memories.

The only restaurant in the property has a limited menu (though the chef tried to accommodate our special requests as far as he could). But if you are staying for more than 2-3 nights, the limited options for all three meals becomes monotonous. The garden and walkways could use more lights to make it safe during darker hours. The three bedroom villa we stayed could use a bit more of regular maintenance. The staff should check the lights, TV, microwave etc is in working condition before arrival of guests every time (though they were happy to assist when notified). The private pool was of good size, but no fixes cleaning schedule unless requested. It clearly requires daily cleaning due to insects etc. falling into the water throughout the day. The plants, bushes etc in the private garden and the public walkway requires regular maintenance as well to ensure continued safety during darker hours.Garbage bin inside the villa not cleared by the cleaning staff daily, unless notified. As the kitchen being open to the garden area, even a small bit of food particle invited 100s of ants to the garbage bin, which made it unsafe for smaller kids. Less options for entertainment within the property, though the restaurant had some board games etc. These are just honest suggestions to improve and definitely not complaints or show stoppers. Will not affect our decision whether to stay there agin or not !

Great breakfast and pools.

Wi-fi was a little slow.

There was a disturbance in our villa, knowing that the disturbance was reported more than 3 times and there was no response or change of villa, knowing that there was maintenance and it was from 8 in the morning until 6 in the evening, we could not sleep because of this thing

This resort is so picturesque with its immaculate tropical grounds and intimate vibe. It reminded me of Hawaii. It’s great for sunsets (if the weather permits). It’s secluded, which is what I wanted after Ubud. The hot water bath tub was so nice. The staff is kind and helpful. Great service. Because the hotel doesn’t offer my style of wine, I was pleased to have Grab deliver the wine I enjoy from far away as there’s nothing nearby. I loved sitting in front of the ocean listening to the waves, as well as the serene and peaceful evenings on my deck. The restaurant faces the ocean and has a decent menu selection. Not that you need to bring anything here. I just enjoy having specific drinks/snacks on hand, and had my driver stop at a grocery store on my way in. So having a fridge in my room was perfect, as I didn’t have to order room service every time.

Construction construction construction! This is not posted anywhere on Amarta’s booking.com listing or website. I booked this resort because, I wanted peace and quiet after 5 (construction-traumatized) weeks in Ubud. When I arrived, I was taken to a villa in front of the actual construction area. I immediately had them move me. They did gladly, but unfortunately I was still woken up every morning around 8 am to either staff talking loudly and some type of generator and annoying hammering. The room I was moved to is right next to the reception area and the spa and because of the thin walls the outside goings-on were distracting. The blinds in my room had gaps in them and would not open or close all the way. You could see in my room at night, and if your a light sleeper like me the room is bright as the sun comes up. There was a strong odor coming from the toilet. Luckily, I brought incense. I feel like the noise and these minor things took away from this hotel feeling like a 5 star resort because it’s a lovely place and is very soothing and relaxing by the pools. Book a villa closer to the ocean. I would suggest to the management to have the staff refrain from yelling or speaking loudly near and around the villas themselves. Especially in the early hours. The spa could have been a little more luxurious for this type of resort. It’s just a few rooms. My hope is that they are building a spa with all this construction cause I’d love to come back when there’s no projects going on. Lastly, I had a massage and it left me bed ridden for a few days, as my back went out…making it painful to walk. Because of this, I shortened my stay in bali and returned to the US. Thankfully, the manager did credit me for the massage.

Brilliant, quiet and relaxing location. Our expectations for Bali were already high and the hotel managed to surpass them. It's a gem of a hotel, tucked away in a less hectic part of the island. If you're looking for a few superbly relaxing days near the beach, away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud or Cangu, look no further.

The facility and its staff were awesome. Heavy rains entered our room one night; and flooded up to the bed. (this was not the fault of the facility).Food at Lily by the Sea was good (some choices were bland) but staff was great. Mie Goreng (free breakfast) was our favorite. The green mango and papaya/prawn salad was delicious!

The actual location of the resort was far from any tourist areas. It takes 2 hours from airport to get to location. At night, the road is narrow and dark.

What wasn’t there to like!!!! Beautiful setting, location & so so peaceful

Everything was wonderful Hotel,Room,Pool,Beach, only the? restaurant mmmmm ?

Resort is built just by the black sand beach which is easily accessible from within and offers great views & feels very peaceful. Also resort is very well maintained and nicely organised with great services & facilities. And variety of options for dining.

It is located in a very remote location and only nearby touristic place is Tanah Lot. I’d recommend it if you just wanna relax in quiet & isolated place.

All good .beautiful and relaxing g

Quite far from the airport, isolated no other hotels or restaurants

It was my second stay in Amarta. Although I think the rooms should be refurbished the stay was wonderful. It is a very palmful place, with nice pool and a beach where you can have your early morning walk. The hotel is really far away from anything important for the tourists (restaurants, bars, etc) - so it is definitely a place for people who enjoy the silence.

Rooms are a bit worn out. Should be refurbished.

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.

Perfect remote location for retreat. Vast green territory. Large villas. 2 swimming pools. Friendly staff.

Nothing to do around except walking on the ocean beach without possibility to swim (forbidden). Scarce dining options with only one restaurant on site. Hygiene problems? (Got intestinal infection last two days of stay, well aware of not using tap water. Room service provide drinking water in carafes but I doubt its source now). Air conditioner broke on third day but was repaired next day. Very unstable wifi signal in villas.

Comfortable villas, two big swimming pools, attentive staff and amazing sunset. Also I really liked massage.Thanks for such amazing experience!

beach front resort

- Staff aren’t well trained; on most occasions, busy chit chatting among themselves instead of attending to needs.- main pool area and bar were deserted with many uncleared used towels, empty cups and glasses.- smokers were allowed to smoke at the resort’s only restaurant.- cleanliness of room, jacuzzi area are questionable and the use of mothball in bathroom is very distasteful.

Fantastic location , facilities, food and staff , thanks for a great stay ?

The view with the see , staff very happy and polite , they cook everything you want !Also I order a cake for my friend birthday and it was delicious.

The only problem was the see isi very noisy at day and night we stay in 111 Villa Best view I ever had !

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.

If there is any negative it is that it is approximately 2 Hours car drive from the airport, but the flipside is that you are far enough out of the city to enjoy regional lifestyle and a perfect place to relax. The most relaxing 7 days I have ever had.

Rooms very comfortable with a wonderful view of the coast. The food was excellent, swimming pools clean and the staff was always friendly and attentive. The view is amazing and the beach is inviting for long walks. To watch the sunset is a wonderful experience as well.

Carpet could've been cleaner. The area really isnt close to anything. Anyhow drivers can still find you for pick-up. Many mosquitos in the room.
