The Temple Lodge

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 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

Thank you for having us! We loved spending time here - we were in the Spice Suite enjoying the beautiful outdoor shower, day bed and relaxing atmosphere. We loved how welcomed we felt, our little walk to the beach (even though the walk back was so steep hahaha), seeing the monkeys, swimming in the pool and Kieran especially enjoyed his dinner! Thank you again x M & K from Australia xx

We stayed at the Temple Lodge for a few days at the end of our trip. It was a lovely place to stay. We stayed in the Temple Suite which was a spacious, beautiful and also an interesting space. The owner has collected all sorts of pieces, some from the ocean some from antiques collected elsewhere, so the place has many unusual and distinctive features. Our suite also had its own lap pool and there was enough space for our two children to sleep around it in the two double beds located in covered areas around it. The common area has a pool and offered the most stunning views where you could watch the surf, and take in the stunning sunsets and sunrises. The food we had was great, including the breakfast which was included. We could walk to the small town nearby and got our daily exercise climbing up and down the cliff side stairs to the beach. Yoga was available and the vibe was relaxed. We really enjoyed our stay here.

We had a great stay at this accommodation for 5 nights. The check in process and staff young man that did the checking in was great, very friendly and always happy to help us out. The only two negative points we experienced; Eagles nest room - absolutely breathtaking view and everything about the room itself. The only bad things were the notorious monkeys which the accommodation can not do much about but they are certainly around, they know how to turn the shower on and make a mess! They are also quite confident and aggressive if trying to get into room with them around. The hotel does provide slingshots! to get rid of them but failed to tell us about it until the second days afternoon. The toilet is also a bit dodgy in this room as it has no real support underneath it so the wooden floor wobbles/flexes a fair bit and the monkeys would sometimes come take their chances at stealing things from you or the area when on the throne!. Restaurant staff - not very attentive to us during our stay, we ordered meals multiple times but on our final night there was a large Australian group being treated like royalty while it took over 2 hours for us to get our meals (after ordering), we were notified later that the manager had thought we had already had the meals. Bit disappointing as it was our last night and put a bit of a negative on the end of the stay as we spent roughly 4 hours there, luckily they had the view and drinks. Fortunately the hotel had the private suite available for the 3 remaining nights, and it was very nice with no issues. this made up for the restaurant and Eagles Nest toilet. Yoga classes were also great!
