Sahaja by Samanvaya

Sahaja sits on the quieter Riverside Wellness side of Samanvaya, framed by a Javanese joglo and views that sweep across the valley and river. It has a calm, grounded energy that fits Sidemen perfectly, offering a dining experience that feels both refined and deeply connected to its surroundings.

The menu leans into Asian–Indonesian flavours with a modern touch. Expect vibrant small plates, thoughtful mains, and fusion dishes inspired by Indonesia, Thailand, and neighbouring regions. Each plate is crafted with care, using local ingredients and polished techniques that give the food a sense of depth without losing its warmth. It is a place designed for sharing, lingering, and enjoying the rhythm of a long, relaxed meal.

Drinks are equally considered. Cocktails, wines, and a curated beverage list pair well with the setting, and the daily 2-for-1 cocktail happy hour from 5 to 6 pm is a lovely time to settle in as the light softens over the riverside.

Sahaja is open to both resort guests and day visitors. Children under 12 are welcome until 7 pm, after which the space shifts to adults-only dining. Pets are not permitted.

A beautiful stop in Sidemen for long lunches, quiet sunset drinks, or a refined dinner with one of East Bali’s most peaceful views.

Tip: Book around sunset. The valley light adds something special to the entire experience.
