Candi Beach Resort and Spa

Top choice in Candidasa


Stylish, environmentally conscious and lavishly endowed with facilities, this is undisputedly Candidasa's best accommodation option. Rooms come in six categories – luxury ocean view suites and villas are particularly swish, but all are impressive. There's a huge palm-fringed pool, a luxe spa and two restaurants (one Asian and Western, the other Indonesian; mains 63,000Rp to 183,000Rp). The resort's private beach offers good snorkelling opportunities.

The hotel uses eco-friendly cleaning products, harvests rain water to use in the garden and contributes to local programmes for coral regeneration.
