Darmada Eco Resort

Top choice in East Bali


Rooms at this well-priced resort set in a lush river valley are simple affairs, but this isn't a problem as most guests spend their time in the lovely spring-water swimming pool or taking advantage of the extensive programme of paid activities (meditation, yoga, massage, trekking, cooking classes). The resort's riverside restaurant is excellent. Wi-fi in common areas only.

Darmada serves cake and coffee for walkers in the afternoons (40,000Rp) and excellent Indonesian and Balinese dishes (mains 30,000Rp to 100,000Rp).
