The Temple Lodge

This magical place was one of the real highlights of our trip to Bali and surrounds. The location is spectacular, on the cliffside with views forever and a real sense of remoteness, even though markets, restaurants etc are really nearby. The food was absolutely spectacular - healthy, light and fresh; we only wish we'd stayed longer so we had time to work through more of the menu! The accommodation is very rustic (only mentioning so that those who want modern amenities like aircon and TV's know not to expect it) but we were completely comfortable in the Gecko Suite as a family of 4. A hot water issue in our outdoor shower was fixed immediately after we reported it, and the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Not sure where we felt more relaxed - lounging on the giant daybed outside our room, or at the beautiful pool. All in all it felt like we had retreated into a little cocoon of peace and harmony.

This unique spot, on the path down to Bingin Beach, offers truly exceptional views! I only stopped for lunch, but their spaghetti pesto was absolutely delicious – highly recommend it. The place has a fantastic, laid-back backpacker vibe. It's a great choice for a casual meal with a breathtaking backdrop. A hidden gem worth seeking out!

This place is an absolutely amazing sanctuary amidst an otherwise busy area. We stayed in the Temple Suite. It is totally private with its own pool, so we had plenty of naked swimming!||The food is excellent and the view is stunning. It’s worth taking the 100+ stairs down to Bingin Beach (where all the Youngs are). Bring cash so you can sit on the beach and buy some food and beer. It’s a better surfing than swimming beach, but that’s ok. ||Grab cars go there and it’s a 20 ride to Uluwatu Temple. I thought the temple was a bit of a nothing-burger and the monkeys are scary aggressive, but it’s worth it to stay for the Kecak Dance.||My only knock is the spa. The two ladies working on my wife and me were pretty mid. Mine metaphorically and literally phoned it in (she took a call during my massage and spoke for maybe 5 minutes with one hand rubbing the same spot on my leg for the duration).||I’m still giving 5 stars. Don’t get a massage here. We saw a place a 5 minute walk on the bigger road. Probably they know what they are doing.||I highly recommend this place, particularly if you are over 50 and want to be away from the clubbing after dark.

the most relaxing villa we have ever stayed at!!! my cousin and i stayed for three nights and the whole time we were looked after very very well! the food is amazing and the view is so incredible! staff were great and always so attentive. we definitely will be coming back soon ❤️

Amazing Italian food. The pasta is handmade and so super delicious and really taste like in Italy. They pay attention using authentic ingredients. It’s super calm and spacious. And the VIEW is stunning.

The crew at Temple Lodge are without exception exceptionional, and that includes the food, no request seems beyond their ability and enthusiasm to attend to. It is very relaxed, very beautiful and very welcoming. The Temple Lodge is where I arrive to and depart from every time I visit Bali, and my go to as a place of refuge in between. For a surfer like me access to the exceptional surfing breaks of Impossibles, Bingin, Padang Padang, Balangan, and Uluawtu is so so easy. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Enjoy your stay. 😌

The restaurant here is an absolute hidden gem. The food was delicious, the service was wonderful and the view is AMAZING. I am so glad I stumbled upon it down the long pathway to enter and I was climbing up from Bingin Beach. Would 100% recommend.

I had a yoga class at 8 a.m. today with... she is an Italian Woman and I'm afraid I forgot her name. This is what happened: She arrived flustered and immediately said she was tired, had too much work, and so on. Since it was my first time there, I didn't recognize her as the teacher. So I was skeptical about the class, but in good spirits because I was on vacation. When she started teaching, her whole energy changed. She was present, precise in her instructions, and the yoga was nourishing. I respect her honesty at the beginning and her professionalism afterwards. 5/6/25
