The Menjangan by LifestyleRetreats

Such a special place. The Menjangan Resort offers the perfect escape if you're looking to disconnect and recharge for a few days. The entire resort is set inside a protected area, surrounded by nature, and it truly feels like you’ve stepped out of the real world for a while. There’s so much to do — snorkeling from the jetty, horseback riding, relaxing on the beach, or just enjoying the peace and quiet in your room nestled in the forest. One of the best parts is the safari-style taxis that take you between the different areas of the resort — they’re free, arrive quickly, and the drivers are always super kind and helpful. Everyone we met was incredibly friendly, and the vibe is very calm and easygoing. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with family, or even solo, it’s definitely worth spending a few days here. Nature, comfort, and genuine hospitality all in one.

We had the perfect trip to The Menjangan! My husband’s colleague had stayed here previously and told us about it, otherwise we might have missed this beautiful piece of paradise untouched. We visited for 3 nights in the middle of our 12 night trip to Bali and called it our vacation from vacation. Immediately upon arrival the open air lodge like lobby is a welcome reprieve from the busy Bali streets. The staff so welcoming and helpful and there are shuttles (in safari like vehicles, highly recommend the top deck!) to and from the rooms, restaurants and even other properties within the National park. Happy Hour on the 5th deck watching sunset is one of the best spots we’ve ever watched a sunset and simply unforgettable. The Balinese BBQ dinner was delicious and the dancing was so interesting. The rooms are simple but huge, and the outdoor washroom is amazing! And sitting on the deck in front of our room watching the tide roll out and a group of 7 deer frolic and swim while the monkeys play on the shore was a highlight of the trip for sure. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed it here and would recommend experiencing this NW natural beauty to anyone!

All of the above are so true. The staff cannot do enough for you and the room is perfect, very anti bug too. In a Balinese style the tower, rooms fit in to the area. It is very peaceful, calming and quiet. The food is excellent, prepared fresh and is hot. I went snorkelling, which I can highly recommend and kayaking around the bay which as great. The massages are very good and perfect to relax you. The view from the Tower is fantastic although the weather was cloudy so we couldn’t see a sunset. Although we did encounter deers and monkeys on the beach while eating breakfast.

You must visit this place to have an extraordinary experience!|Thank you once again!||Georgina and Henrik

We stayed at this hotel for three wonderful nights.||We stayed in Monsoon Lodge and the room was large and very close to the lovely pool, surrounded by lush vegetation. ||We saw SO much wildlife, whilst in the National Park and, one morning, even saw a coppersmith barbet in a tree next to the breakfast area.||Unfortunately, for the duration of our stay, the Bali Tower Bistro was not open for evening meal and so we had to get the free transport down to the Pantai Restairant by the beach. The food here was wonderful and one evening we were even visited by a luwak !||It is on the subject of transportation, however, that the only negative falls. Given that this is an ecolodge, dedicated to maintaining the pristine nature of the National Park, we were REALLY surprised that the hotel's vehicles are petrol-driven and not EVs, powered by solar-panel driven charging stations. What a missed opportunity !

If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. This hotel is one of those rare places where everything feels perfectly thought out — as if they had gathered every piece of feedback ever written about any hotel in the world and turned it into reality. The staff? Incredibly kind and genuinely attentive. It’s not just polite service — it’s heartfelt hospitality that makes you feel truly welcome. The attention to detail borders on obsessive, in the best possible way. Nothing is left to chance, and every corner reflects care and thoughtfulness. But the real highlight is the surrounding nature. It’s not something that can be described — it has to be lived. The way the hotel is immersed in its environment creates an atmosphere that’s impossible to capture in words. My advice? Stay at least two nights. One simply isn’t enough to absorb the full experience. And trust me — leaving won’t be easy

The Menjangan is nothing short of magic. Tucked deep within Bali’s West Bali National Park, this place isn’t just a stay — it’s an experience, an adventure, and a homecoming all at once. From the moment you arrive, you’re immersed in nature’s embrace: wild deer roam freely, birds call through the trees, and every path seems to lead to something quietly extraordinary. The beachside restaurant was a complete surprise — the food is genuinely fantastic, with fresh, thoughtful dishes and a relaxed yet refined setting that invites you to linger. The staff are warm, present, and deeply kind — they made me feel truly at home, not just hosted. There are beautiful adventures to book — from snorkeling to forest walks — but the soul of The Menjangan, for me, was the tower. A hidden gem to watch the sunrise spill over the jungle canopy and the sun sink behind the ocean. The atmosphere there is almost sacred. It’s rare to find a place so grounded, so natural, and yet so welcoming. I’m already dreaming of going back.

Perfect stay, beautiful nature, friendly staff and nice stable with horses in good condition. |Beautiful view from the room with wild life in the back garden evers morning. Special thanks to sir Suardana, it was nice to meet you. I had a great time with you at the stables with the 2-hours ride.
