Plataran Menjangan Resort and Spa - CHSE Certified

The property is focused on preserving nature and bringing awareness to how beautiful our planet is. It is nested in the national park and the amenities are extremely comfortable while remaining sustainable.

Just about everything was great. We have stayed at multiple Plataran properties and they are consistently very good in all areas - the staff, facilities, restaurants, and available amenities and activities are all excellent.

Our only small complaint about this stay was that the pool at our villa was not cleaned when we arrived. I think we would have used the pool if it was free of leaves and debris but we decided not to use it. I think this would be a nice improvement and not to much to ask for given that we were here during the low season.

Review of Plataran West Bali National Park: A Hidden Paradise in the Heart of Nature ?If you’ve ever dreamed of staying in a place where nature gently wraps around you, where your day begins with birdsong and ends with sunsets over the mangroves — Plataran is that dream brought to life.This resort is not just a place to stay, it’s an experience that leaves a lasting imprint on your soul.Located in the heart of West Bali National Park, it offers a rare chance to live side by side with wildlife: deer stroll past your villa, eagles soar overhead, and the forest awakens with you each morning. It's magical — you don’t just visit nature here, you become part of it.A heartfelt thank you to the staff. The level of care, warmth, and genuine hospitality is extraordinary. Every interaction felt personal, kind, and sincere. They truly go above and beyond, always with a smile and a kind word.The food deserves its own praise — a delightful blend of Balinese flavors and modern finesse. Every meal was a celebration of freshness and taste. Dining under the stars, with the sound of the ocean nearby, was simply unforgettable.And the spa… an oasis of peace. With the scent of essential oils, the calming breeze, and the gentle sounds of the forest, each treatment felt like a soulful ritual. We left every session feeling restored and deeply relaxed.Plataran is a place we’ll always carry in my heart — not just for its beauty, but for the sense of harmony and connection it brings. I can’t wait to return.

Our stay here has been absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere in the middle of the national park is truly special – so peaceful and quiet, with deer grazing right outside our villa and monkeys providing exciting moments, especially for our daughter.The staff have been incredibly warm and welcoming, especially towards our child. There were lovely activities for her and a beautifully natural playground she absolutely loved. The pool is simply spectacular – the largest we’ve ever seen, with stunning views of the sea.The food has been excellent, and the villa itself is luxurious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully designed – we especially loved the semi-outdoor bathroom, which added a touch of nature to the experience.The snorkeling trip organized from here was another highlight – perfectly arranged, with fantastic reefs around Menjangan Island and so many colorful fish to see.All in all, a magical stay. We’d absolutely love to come back!

If you are tired of crowded over-touristy Bali, this is the place to go. Located in a national park, the resort is quiet, remote, and very nature conscious. Deer and monkeys regularly roam the premises and can be seen right outside the villas. The Balinese food is excellent and there are plenty of nature based activities: snorkelling, hiking, biking, diving, etc.

Its a 4-5 hour drive from the airport along roads than can be quite narrow and many reckless drivers.

We loved our stay, the staff were so friendly and kind, the facilities were great with a lot of activity options and the room was so beautiful and well kept. Great value for money you get luxury service here.

Peaceful natural environment. So much wildlife. Monkeys, deer, Bali starlings, monitor lizards. Attentive and lovely staff. A wonderful welcome coconut and 5 minute massage after our long drive. Excellent turn down service inclusive of natural mosquito repellants. Beautiful outlook. Incredible spa nestled among mangroves overlooking the ocean. Daily kids activities. Water filter in the room was handy. It felt like a proper escape.

The site is amazing, with individual villas in their own gardens with a veranda. Ours had a plunge pool overlooking the sea where we could watch the deer and monkeys roam. The room was very well appointed with good wifi, the tv worked well, there was plenty of storage. As well there was a water machine in the room, reducing plastic use in line with the ethos of the accommodation. There was a very good coffee maker as well. We had a welcome fruit bowl and lovely room decorations for our anniversary. Each night the villa is sprayed for mosquitos, and we enjoyed very comfortable nights inside our mosquito netting.

Not so much the fault of the accommodation, but the outdoor bathroom is covered but has openings on the sides. It was rainy season and one night it rained so hard everything got soaked - toilet paper, toiletry bags, towels. We had to wade through an inch of water to go to the toilet. It may have been a quirk out our villa (101) as I didn't see the same openings on other villa's bathrooms. The bed was massive and comfortable, but had extra wood to the sides, so in order to get out you needed to scoot a further foot. That might be an issue for anyone with mobility problems

The beautiful locale, and the bevy of friendly staff, always willing to help! I loved that they had a "WhatsApp concierge" at our beck and call

Their 3 hour estimate to the resort from the airport was conservative. The actual time was 6+ hours too and 5.5 hours on the returnIt was expensive for the activities, but the personal touch and hospitality could justify the cost if it was for a special occasion

location, space, wonderfull nature, animals, peacefull place, bycicles, house and interior, facilities, amazing food, very attentive staff

there is no kids zone, no toilet brushes or bidet in the toilet

It was absolute 5 Star accommodation ,The surroundings, the peacefulness, the. Nature a dream.

All perfect, but be aware the road towards the resort is a bite bumpy.

it’s remote, attached to a National Park. Sustainablity is a mandate.

I liked all of it, everything.

Location, scenery, staffs

The villa is beautiful. The bathroom is very spacious and the staffs are all very helpful and nice. The spa is also beautiful facing the sea directly. They also offer a lot of activities.

Some of the road to the hotel are not really good.

The best part of this hotel is how it's surrounded by so much nature. The animals you see around the resort are so beautiful!

There's a few caged animals around the resort as well which I didn't like.

Breakfast and food was exceptional plus the service. Definitely will be coming back. We also did the private snorkeling/picnic lunch and it was such a great experience. Wonderful staff and set up!

The road going to to the resort

Exceptional service and amazing location. Lots of deers and monkeys. Kids enjoyed balinese snack cooking and donut decoration classes. Snorkeling was awesome even near the jetty. Absolutely delicious breakfasts. So worth it!

Perhaps the best hotel I've stayed at in Bali. Super staff, stunning villas and nature around. Tropical birds, perfect scuba diving nearby.Communication is amazing, staff created a WhatsApp group and we could just text them if anything was required.

Not impressed or impressive.

The property is tired, sparse, lacks a range of facilities and activities. The one and only restaurant is average and as a 'captive audience' the prices are excessive. Facilities are lacking. There is a pool but that's about it so be prepared to entertain yourself or pay for additional activities. The staff are nice enough but not up to 5 star standard. This is not a 5 star property but if you are looking for a remote, 'off grid' experience (with a hefty price tag) you might enjoy it.

Staff are friendly and nice

Very remote area hotel with only one restaurant Limited options for drinks/ foods
