The Samaya Seminyak Bali

The Samaya, Seminyak is the benchmark for luxury private villa accommodation in Bali. We've stayed here twice now. On both occasions, everything was flawless. The location is spectacular. Ocean frontage at Seminyak Beach, with manicured forecourt and sunset views. Breezes restaurant is less than 50 meters from the villas in the corner overlooking the ocean and particularly beautiful in the evening. The villas are aging, but are well maintained, appointed and very spacious, with modern amenities. Huge dressing room/bathroom, huge indoor shower, outdoor shower, jacuzzi and excellent air-conditioning throughout. The service is outstanding, even by Bali standards. Everyone will know your name and even your order very quickly, but they also respect your privacy and are never invasive. The hotel is also very close to the heart of the tourist area, and all the best local restaurants and shopping. There is also a convenience store across the road. Having stayed at most of the hotels along Seminyak Beach, (all of which are excellent) and having also stayed at "premium" resorts in Nusa Dua, I can confidently say that the Samaya represents the very best value for money available. There are resorts in Nusa Dua such as St Regis which are more exclusive and provide more luxury, but at triple the cost. Strongly recommended for couples looking for privacy and luxury service.

We stayed in an ocean front one bedroom villa and loved it. Great location, beautiful setting, lovely beach and exceptional staff! Dinner at sunset is absolutely stunning, and the food at Breeze restaurant is excellent. The staff always made an effort to seat people at tables with a view. Breakfast is also excellent and they offer all day breakfast, which is great for those of us on way off time zones. We usually miss the "free" breakfast at most places, so it was nice to just get up when we wanted and still be able to utilize the included breakfast. Afternoon tea is also included and quite lovely. The spa was so fantastic I would up getting a massage each morning. The beach is not a "swimming" beach, but it's great for jumping waves and there are small tidal sand pools to sit in as the waves come in as well. We were more interested in relaxing and the beach so we didn't really leave the property, it appeared to be in a great location though for those that wanted to have a bit of night life or shop. We were able to arrange pick up from Ubud and drop off at the airport fairly easily with the resort and the fees were reasonable considering we requested larger vehicles for our luggage. We spent a month traveling Australia and Bali and stayed at several places, this was my husband's favorite place.

A week at The Samaya was in most ways an enjoyable experience. The Samaya is one of a line of up-market resorts set along Seminyak beach, which is a wide sandy beach with breaking surf. Great sunset views.|It features a large freshwater pool in the middle of the lovely scenic grounds and has a bar and restaurant beside the ocean, set above the beach.|An early breakfast there was very pleasant. There is a good variety of food items to choose from.|Service from all the staff was friendly, helpful, and usually prompt.|Accommodation is entirely in self-contained villas. These villas are walled and private units, and each includes a small swimming pool as well as spacious air-conditioned accommodation. There is no view beyond your own garden/mini pool area.|The better and more expensive units are around the pool and main hotel grounds, while the rest are in a separate building down the main road and up a side road a little way.|You can get room service meals, laundry, and free buggy rides to and from the main building.|All good, but one thing is missing – atmosphere. Residents appear at breakfast time, then mostly return to their villas, never to be seen again, During the day, the pool and grounds were deserted, despite the hotel being nearly full.|Some people appeared for dinner, but a lot go out to neighbourhood restaurants in Seminyak or along the beach.|I personally missed the communal atmosphere that hotel public lounges and bars bring.|This hotel is designed for people enjoy splendid isolation and if this is your thing, then you will love it.|Of course, you can walk to many restaurants in town in few minutes from here, but do not expect refined experiences. The main eating street is Jl. Kayu Aya and it’s a party street with a ramshackle collection of bars and restaurants of a range of styles, cuisines, and quality. Sidewalks are lumpy, broken and occasionally missing, and traffic is slow but hectic. |Fine dining exists at La Lucciola on the beach nearby, or Ku De Ta, at the southern end of the beach, a few minutes walk from the hotel.|Last, consider the weather. Bali in October was incredibly hot and uncomfortably humid. Far better to visit in June, when it feels much cooler.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was our first booking through Luxury Escapes and OMG — what an incredible experience! We were met at the airport by The Samaya van and warmly welcomed by the beautiful staff. Our pool villa was spacious, private, and absolutely stunning. The resort itself is outstanding — every staff member was kind, caring, and so polite, and they all remembered our names, which made it feel extra special. We genuinely loved every one of them. The food was divine, and on our final night our amazing butler, Kris, arranged a romantic table overlooking the sunset — just beautiful. 🌅 A huge bonus is the complimentary transport anywhere in Seminyak, which made getting around so easy. We highly, highly recommend staying here — and we’ll definitely be back! 🌺

My husband and I recently spent a week at The Samaya, and it was nothing short of a glorious experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and genuine kindness that we instantly felt at home. The staff at this resort are truly remarkable — the most kind, attentive, and helpful people we have ever encountered in our travels. Every detail of our stay was handled with such care and professionalism, yet always delivered with a personal touch. Whether it was the thoughtful service at breakfast, the immaculate upkeep of the villas, or the way every request was met with a smile, the level of hospitality was exceptional in every sense. The resort itself is stunning — serene, beautifully maintained, and the perfect setting for a truly relaxing escape. But what made our stay unforgettable was the people. The dedication and warmth of the team at The Samaya elevated our holiday beyond all expectations. We will absolutely return.

A relaxing retreat for a special occasion amidst a beautiful scenic setting, great food, drinks, people with lovely smiles and fantastic hospitality. Great staff with a special mention to Yogi. Accommodating us into our villa with the private pool before our check in and into private suite after checking out is highly appreciated. We have had a great time and enjoyed celebrating our wedding anniversary with you all. The card was lovely as was the bouquet though the bag as I saw was for every guest not just for the occasion as was told 😃 Food room service wasn’t as fresh or nice as when we had at the restaurant. The jacuzzi was a serious let down unfortunately and didn’t fix even after someone did have a lol into it! Few other misses were immediately sorted when dialled 0. Great food and lovely drinks especially the Iron Booster and Antioxidant. Indian food section and vegetarian/vegan options during afternoon tea or otherwise really need to be looked into. Overall a thank you for making our stay so special, memorable and worth coming back to stay with you all when next, if in Bali. Pics justify how much we enjoyed it. Best wishes to the entire team Anniversary Couple 💕

This is our first visit to Bali, 3 nights in Monkey Forest & 5 nights here. We will definitely return as Bali itself is the most beautiful place.||This hotel offers so much, I arranged for a driver from the hotel to collect us to make the very slow but comfortable transfer from Ubud. 2 hours later we arrived at this beautiful, tranquil oasis. Greeted with a garland of Bali flower & taken to our one bed pool villa. It was perfectly arranged with a sitting room, bedroom & spacious bathroom with indoor/outdoor showers. The pool area had full sun but a lovely shaded area also.||The food is amazing & with the Breeze restaurant being very popular to watch the amazing sunsets, book a table so you are not disappointed. Service can be a little slow, it did not bother us as we were happy to enjoy the moment, however some people did complain.||A few minutes walk or complementary buggy ride you can be in the town square, lots of restaurants, bars & shops selling a variety of quality items. In past experience, shopping in beach resorts can be predictable but here there is a huge variety. The food is also incredibly delicious, all our meals in Bali were lovely.||This hotel gives discreet elegance, its people are its true asset, everyone & I mean everyone, were filled with warmth & genuine smiles. This is a truly wonderful hotel with spectacular service & in a fantastic location. If I have any points for improvement, I would suggest the decking (in some places not all) where the sunbeds are located would benefit from some TLC as we did end up with a couple of splinters. Also I think the service around the sunbeds for cold drinks was lacking at times. None of this spoiled our experience, we will return & enjoy this wonderful hotel again.||A shout out to the Spa team, complementary couples massage & a hot stone massage were amazing.||Bali still holds a level of authenticity which makes it feel charming & fascinating all rolled together, book this hotel you won't regret it.

Quite honestly the best experience we have ever had travelling. We travelled to Samaya Seminyak for our honeymoon and the level of service was exceptional. Nothing was too much for the staff, who were happy to oblige or come up with solutions to any requests we had. Simple things like each staff member greeting us warmly and remembering our names went a long way. We had a 1 bed villa, which was extremely spacious, modern and well laid out. It backed on to a small terrace/garden with a swimming pool. The pool was lovely, but is quite deep (1.65m) for an inexperienced swimmer. The food and beverages are delicious and it's worth booking at their onsite restaurant for dinner. You can also order breakfast to the room as part of your package, which is a great touch. Would thoroughly recommend samaya seminyak for an unforgettable stay! Amardeep and Kavita
