Shanti Natural Panorama View Hotel

Our last-minute decision to spend New Year’s Eve somewhere peaceful turned out to be one of the best choices we have made. We wanted to avoid the usual parties and, even worse, the traffic chaos heading to them! So, we randomly opened the Bali map, searched for available hotels, and booked directly with this resort It’s rare for me to find a place where I can’t point out any faults, but this was one of those occasions. Perhaps it’s a good omen for the year ahead! The journey up north was nice, with a few stops to enjoy the scenery and try some local dishes. When we arrived, we were quite surprised . The resort is perched overlooking a serene valley, surrounded by lush greenery—peaceful doesn’t even begin to describe it. Though the resort has been open for 10 years (as the staff told me ) it’s incredibly well-maintained. The landscaping is flawless, the rooms are charming and functional, the beds are comfortable, and the pool overlooking the valley is simply perfect. The food? It won’t win any culinary awards, but it’s well-prepared, simple, and satisfying. The service was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. With only 11 rooms and no restaurants nearby, guests tend to dine in-house, making for a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. Prices are reasonable, and the menu offers enough variety to keep everyone happy. Overall, this was a great find—a true serendipity. Thank you to the team for the exceptional service. I’m happy to recommend this resort and will certainly return the next time I need a break to recharge and breathe.
