The Menjangan by LifestyleRetreats

Dear Menjangan Lifestyle Resort team,|You all made our stay wonderful. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Medication was not only announced, but also provided in our accommodation.|For my milestone birthday, we were upgraded to a beach villa. And we were still able to use the fantastic pool. The shuttle service worked perfectly and the transport was great fun.|The cleanliness of the resort is particularly worth mentioning, as is the culinary offering in the restaurant: a colorful spectrum with something to suit every taste.|If the journey from Europe weren't so long, we would definitely come more often. But in any case, this place and the Bali area are 100% recommendable, quiet and relaxing. |Sincerely, Ulla and Pasquale / Germany

We have just returned from beautiful Menjangan Retreat Resort in West Bali — our fourth stay, with our first visit being 20 years ago. We always seem to return around our wedding anniversary, and for good reason — we loved it the very first time we came here, and it still holds that same magic.||It does take time to get here — around five hours by car — but this is truly a five-star stay and absolutely worth the effort. This time we booked both our room and transport through Booking.com, and everything was seamless. We stopped for lunch along the way, which made the journey far more comfortable, and our driver was very pleasant and professional.||We spent three nights in a Beach Villa, which was simply beautiful — right on the beach. Each morning at sunrise we watched the Menjangan deer wander down onto the sand — such a special and peaceful sight. There are a few cheeky monkeys around, so be sure to keep your doors locked.||We booked snorkelling each day. The first day was exceptional — we even saw three turtles, along with stunning coral and an abundance of fish. The second day’s location wasn’t quite as good, but it was still beautiful and well worth doing.||The staff are just wonderful — warm, kind, and genuinely caring. Breakfast was included with our stay, and dinners at the restaurant were delicious. Everything about this place feels calm, peaceful, and deeply relaxing.||Next time, we’ll definitely stay a few extra nights to fully soak up the tranquillity — falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, enjoying the comfort of the beautiful villa, and experiencing what feels like the real Bali.||On our last night — our anniversary — the team surprised us with a lovely cake and beautifully decorated our room. It was completely unexpected and such a thoughtful touch. It’s these little details that make a stay here so special.||We can’t wait to return again.

We ❤️ The Menjangan! Best part of our trip to Bali. We booked 4 nights and once we arrived and settled in we added another 3. Calm and quiet, amongst nature (we are from NZ so this feels like a different nature-fuelled home from home). Super clean area in the park. Love the ease of organising activities (did the day snorkel and the guided walk where we saw a massive black squirrel!) and the little touches to the room and turn down service really left a positive memory. Love the beer stubby holders, would loved to have bought some if you sold them. 😍. For a relaxing eco-tourism stay, this is the place to be. Would definitely stay again.

We recently spent a few magical nights at The Menjangan by Lifestyle Retreats in West Bali National Park, and it honestly felt like stepping into another world. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendliest staff — everyone went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, remembered our names, and treated us like family. Their warmth and genuine care made such a difference and set the tone for an incredible stay. The location is absolutely breathtaking. Hidden inside Bali’s untouched national park, The Menjangan is surrounded by lush forest, mangroves, and quiet beaches. It’s so peaceful — you wake up to the sound of birds and deer wandering nearby instead of scooters and crowds. It’s rare to find a place in Bali that feels this natural and unspoiled. One of the highlights of our trip was the romantic candlelit dinner on the beach that the staff arranged for us. It was such a special experience — a private table under the stars, waves gently lapping beside us, and the soft glow of candles all around. The food was delicious (especially the fresh seafood!) and the whole setting felt like a scene from a movie. During the days, we explored the park and went snorkelling just off the jetty, which was out of this world — crystal-clear water, colourful coral, and so many fish! It honestly rivalled some of the best snorkelling we’ve done anywhere. We even spotted deer and monkeys along the paths on our way back — such a surreal and beautiful experience to share. And we can’t forget the Bali Tower — what a hidden gem! We went up for sunset and were blown away by the panoramic views of the jungle canopy, ocean, and mountains beyond. Watching the sky turn gold and pink from up there while sipping a drink was pure magic. If you’re a couple looking for a mix of romance, adventure, and tranquillity in nature, The Menjangan is perfection. Every moment felt authentic, peaceful, and full of wonder. We left feeling completely recharged — and already dreaming about coming back. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience the real Bali — wild, beautiful, and full of heart. ❤️

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.

inside the national park. the staff were great. we did bird watching and saw the endangered Bali Mina, snorkeling, massages, relaxing by beach or pool, etc. the snorkeling was the best i'd seen. lots of monkeys, you have to be very vigilant or they'll break into your villa or steal you're stuff at the beach!

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.

We visited this resort as a family.Stayed at the residence which is located deep in the jungle and totally private.Spacious rustic villas,comfortable beds,clean and tidy rooms with great view of the bay.Fantastic private swimming pool and great like safari taxi ride to the restaurant on the beach or at the tower.Great food and very polite and friendly staff.Would definitely go back there again and recommend to anyone seeking peace and quiet in the middle of national park with great variety of jungle animals including monkeys-be aware of!! They’re nosy and steal almost everything.
