Munduk Moding Plantation Nature Resort

The best hotel in Bali I stayed in during my three week trip. An absolute diamond in the middle of the mountains. ||There are so many good things to note I don’t even know where to start. The staff are wonderful. Completely helpful and informative. The hotel offers such good activities which I booked - the coffee plantation tour and waterfall tour was a highlight. ||The slopes to get to the room were quite steep and with my bad knee it helped to have a buggy service. The food in the restaurants was absolutely delicious and the mocktails were fabulous, although pricey but that matches the luxury stay. The infinity pool is really special and the views over Munduk are amazing. I wish I’d stayed longer than two nights. I can’t wait to return. ||If I had to pick a few issues, I would say that the shower could have a handheld shower as well as a fixed one. I used the spa but the facial wasn’t to my liking along with the head snd shoulder massage which was much too soft, but that is a personal preference. For IDR 750k I would have expected a more luxurious (and less clumsy) experience. ||There were a couple of bugs in the room as is the case in most of Bali but I didn’t see anything too scary!

This resort is truly beautiful. We were lucky enough to get the Presidential Suite. Our private butler, Mahen, anticipated our every wish and was always there for us—no matter what we needed. We really enjoyed our time here and can highly recommend this accommodation. The top nearby attractions are not far away. The restaurant and bar are just as recommendable as the coffee here. All the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. In the evening, you can enjoy a cocktail by a private campfire with marshmallows—priceless! The location and the view are also breathtaking. Everything here is simply perfect.

This is a wonderful hotel, or nature retreat. Set on a high in the Munduk area of northern Bali, it has it all. The views are amazing and on a clear day you cannot only see the Bali Sea but across the west to the mountains of east Java.|The two infinity swimming pools near the two restaurants are a big drawcard with guests; you just can't stop taking photos of them, while some villas have their own private pools (totally secluded) which are large enough to do a few laps. The decor is 'stylishly rustic' with earthy and autumnal tones, with many natural materials - such a bamboo and rattan, used in the construction. Food is first-class; I loved all the dishes I tried and they are so beautifully presented. The staff are courteous and friendly, and when you ring for a buggy to take you to the restaurant or to the reception area (which are accessed via up and down pathways), they are there in a flash and always with a smile. If you don't feel like dining out, but would rather linger in your villa, then room service is available, which includes all the items on the menu. The retreat is lapped by a coffee plantation where they grow Arabica and Robusta coffee trees and roast the beans in the onsite roastery. It's fun to take a coffee plantation tour to see how coffee is grown and made, and enjoy tasting several different styles of coffee at the end. The rather famous Coffee Luwak is also for sale, and the beans for this 'curious' blend come from local coffee farmers and is sourced naturally. One thing that really impressed me was the retreat's excellent environmental and sustainable practices and the work the staff does with the local villages to inform them about plastic recycling. The stay at Munduk Moding Plantation is a wonderful experience - everything from the view, the suites and villas, the food and the people was great. There are cooking classes, yoga, spa treatments and lessons in Balinese handicrafts. If you want to explore further afield, then staff will drive you to Lake Tamblingan and a variety of waterfalls (the Twin Falls are lovely and you can swim there), or escort you on trekking trips, while the five resident horses take guests for rides in the nearby villages. At night, the place to be is the bar, or in the pool, to witness the splendid sunsets, and get up early to catch the sunrise and views across to Java. Munduk Moding (which means hill and high view - I think) is a must for anyone who loves nature and wants a peaceful holiday. I would recommend a few nights here, combined with a beach holiday, and visits to temples in nearby Bedegul for a total Bali experience.

A stay to remember and repeat. We were amaze about the location, the staff dedication, and the uniqueness of the place. Our itinerary only allowed us to stay one night, but we will definitely will come back to spend a few days to enjoy other activities the hotel offers. The philosophy of the place, and their hospitality willing to give a top notch experience is 100% achieved. We do not only recommend it, we also cannot wait to come back. For so many reasons best hotel we ever stayed at.

If you want a mix of peace and adventure, Munduk is definitely the best choice. My partner and I went there for our honeymoon, staying in a one-bedroom pool villa with a jacuzzi. It's about a three-hour drive from Denpasar. The place really impressed us. We were never bored because of all the complimentary activities available. The sustainability tour was the best part for me. It was inspiring to see the resort's strong dedication to waste management and supporting local communities. Their commitment to making a positive impact was clear. A big thanks to Bli Giri for making everything so fun and engaging! After leaving Munduk, I feel refreshed and have a lot of new ideas for my business and future work, especially on how to make a bigger impact in my community. We're excited to go back!

Beautiful resort located within a working coffee plantation. Lots of activities and treatments to choose from. We especially enjoyed a long guided trek through the jungle and kayak across one of the lakes.||The staff were very attentive and special shout out to Kariasa the Barista, and Sumadi who looked after us very well in the restaurants.

We loved our stay at Munduk Moding Plantation Resort! We spent 2 nights and had the best time! The views are just insane and we got treated like royals. The villa was very beautifully decorated& very clean. You can tell that the staff really cares about the details. The food was delicious as well! There are many activities available during your stay such as coffee plantation tour, Balinese dancing, yoga, bird watching, star gazing, gym& tennis court and much more! They offer activities for everyone. We can 100% recommend staying here and will definitely come back.

We stayed at Munduk Moding Plantation and it felt like a quiet escape into the mountains. Our villa came with a private jacuzzi looking out over the jungle, surrounded by cool air and silence, which was really special. We especially loved the tasting menus at both restaurants. Each course felt carefully thought out, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. The mix of local ingredients and creative touches made every dinner feel like an experience. Breakfast was also generous and fresh, such a nice way to start the day. The views all around the property were stunning, especially in the early morning when the mist rolls over the hills. The whole place has a calm, grounding energy that stays with you. All the staff were kind and thoughtful, always happy to help and genuinely welcoming. It was one of those stays where everything just felt taken care of, in the best way.
