Sideman Sanctuary

Escape to Sidemen, where emerald rice terraces, hidden waterfalls, traditional village life and spectacular Mount Agung views create one of Bali’s most peaceful countryside retreats.
The Experience

Reconnect with Nature in Bali's Hidden Valley

Leave the busy tourist areas behind and journey into the beautiful Sidemen Valley, where rice terraces tumble across the hillsides and village life continues at a wonderfully unhurried pace.

Discover hidden waterfalls, wander through rice fields and traditional villages, and settle into a beautiful boutique retreat surrounded by nature. As evening falls, relax over locally inspired food and watch the landscape change in the golden light.

The following morning is all about slowing down—begin with yoga, indulge in a traditional Balinese massage and enjoy a leisurely breakfast before returning to Sanur refreshed and recharged.

Sidemen Sanctuary is our invitation to experience a quieter, more authentic side of Bali.
