Tandjung Sari

After an intense and fascinating journey through Java and Bali, we spent our final four nights at Tandjung Sari in Sanur — and it truly felt like the perfect ending to our Indonesian adventure. This boutique beachfront hotel offered us a haven of peace, luxury, and understated elegance. We stayed in the most basic room category, but it felt nothing short of a honeymoon suite. The bungalow was spacious and tastefully decorated, blending traditional Balinese style with modern comfort. We especially loved the large bathtub and the open-air shower, both of which added to the serene, spa-like feel. The lush private garden with sun loungers offered complete privacy and a sense of tropical indulgence. The resort itself has a mystic, timeless atmosphere — a rare blend of authenticity and intimacy. Every detail is thoughtfully curated, from the beautiful architecture to the peaceful pathways lined with statues and frangipani trees. The service was consistently warm and welcoming, delivered with genuine care. Each morning began with an excellent à la carte breakfast, offering a wide variety of healthy and flavorful options. We particularly appreciated being able to enjoy our meals in such a tranquil setting. The restaurant is romantic and beautifully situated, with the option to dine right on the beach under the stars. The food was high quality, and the cocktails were crafted with flair. The private beach area is quiet and well maintained, with comfortable loungers and attentive beachside service. The location is ideal, within walking distance of many great local restaurants and bars, yet the resort itself remains a peaceful escape from the bustle. If we had to mention any drawbacks, it would be that the swimming pool is placed in the middle of the restaurant terrace, which made it feel a bit awkward to use while people were dining. Also, during our stay, the sea wasn’t very clean, with noticeable plastic pollution — an unfortunate reminder of a wider environmental issue in the region. Despite these small issues, Tandjung Sari is a truly special place, perfect for those seeking a romantic, peaceful, and culturally rich stay in Bali. We left feeling relaxed, inspired, and deeply connected to the spirit of the island. Would you like a shorter version too, or perhaps a
