Villa Manuk – Sambangan

Tucked away in the highlands near Singaraja, Villa Manuk is the kind of place that feels like a well-kept secret. Its rustic bungalows are surrounded by rice fields and waterfalls, offering a stay that’s both peaceful and deeply connected to nature. Run by a Balinese-German couple, the retreat blends genuine warmth with a simple, grounded way of life.

Meals are home-cooked using local ingredients, and the rhythm of the day follows the sounds of birds, flowing water, and the occasional village ceremony. For travellers seeking authenticity, quiet, and a true sense of place far from Bali’s tourist trail, Villa Manuk is an unforgettable find.
