Veluvana Bali – Cobra House

Such a beautiful and unique place to stay! Veluvana Bali is an eco-luxury hotel that consists of 5 bamboo villas, each of which has a few unique features. We stayed in the Cobra House which has a rolling out bed and a secret entrance to the pool. We also enjoyed the breathtaking views of lush rice fields and Mount Agung right from our bed. Veluvana is not just a cool place to stay though. The small team behind this incredible accommodation is what makes the stay here so enjoyable. They really took such a great care of us! And the food was so good too! I can highly recommend this gem in Sidemen to everyone visiting Bali and craving for some uniqueness and serenity.

What an incredible experience! A one-of-a-kind bamboo house in the middle of beautiful Sidemen Village. The scenery is so serene and gorgeous. We were speechless at the scenery and architecture. We enjoy the pool on top of Octopus House. We liked the stunning night view from our bed. In the morning, we ate breakfast while watching the sun rise. The food was delicious, particularly the banana pancakes and lemongrass tea. We even booked a photo session to capture our beautiful moment here. Ari was amazing. If you guys are looking for a talented photographer in Bali, you can book him or see his work at @aripratama_putu. The entire staff was fantastic; they were all really polite and helpful throughout our stay. We'll definitely be back.

We choose the Veluvana because we would like to have a special experience sleeping in a high level open air space. Each villa is like an art, the decoration is really unique. For sure it’s something more than special!! You have to be prepared that from all the outside nature noises maybe you can not sleep all night but it’s an open air room so it’s normal. Also there are many mosquito and small bugs that can pass the bed nest and wakes you up many many times. Also, we had massage in room but the women didn’t have massage bed…so she asked me to lay down at the bed…it was uncomfortable…also there were so many small bugs in my body so I couldn’t enjoy it.For me the most important thing is that there is no security in the night. After 21:00 no body is at the property and you feel totally unsafe even if Sidemen is a quiet area. All the villas are open and any body can just jump in front of your bed.(also don’t forget that the price of the accommodation for the bali rates is really high, so a security or 24h front desk must be available). Also from the photos the property looks like more private but it’s not as there are many other accommodations just behind so every body can hear you or look at you (every body can pass from the rice field in front of your villa).Another negative was the breakfast as it was below the average. Also, our swimming pool wasn’t so clean. Additionally I would say that the staff wasn’t so friendly as they were acting more like robots than like a warm welcome. Also, if you wanna use your drone you had to take the permition of the staff(they said that they will Ask the rest of the guests and if they were ok with that we could flight it…but when the other guests flew there drones no body asked for our permission!) Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy our stay to Veluvana at all. We had more expectations. We will not recommend it or stay again as after so many years travelling in Bali we had visited really more beautiful places with lower (or higher) prices but for sure more enjoyable!

I booked Manta house for a night as a birthday gift for my fiance!! We checked in and stayed there the whole day in order to enjoy every minute inside the house. We were speechless about the view and the architecture. All the people working there were so friendly and helpful. They even arranged a birthday surprise for my fiance with a cake at night. Im so thankful guys!! Before we left, thanks to the perfect guy Surya we managed to see Octopus and Owl houses. We appreciated so much!! Now we are thinking which house we will choose for the next time. You made my fiance’s birthday perfect. See you next time!! 🏻

One of the most beautiful places I ever been… everything was perfect. the Scorpio villa with the stunning view, everybody was so nice and friendly we couldn’t ask for more… thank you for everything!
