The ecolodge is about 20 minutes by walking to the Main Street with all facilities (restaurants, shops) and 25 minutes far from the beach.

This ecolodge has everything you need to relax and recharge your batteries in peace and quiet. The staff and owner made us feel at home and worked with the local population: they went out of their way to find us a taxi on a local festival day, to take us on a snorkelling excursion on Menjangan Island and to advise us on the best restaurants in the area. The ecolodge was very clean and the hot pool allowed us to fully relax. We won't forget our short stay in Permuteran thanks to the people we met there!

Would have liked a kettle in the room, but Michael was happy for me to use the kitchen for my early morning coffee.

What a special place this is! A peaceful oasis at the base of the mountains where its easy to feel at home. The managers are in the process of creating sustainable initiatives involving the local community and take on volunteers to help with different projects. One of the friendliest accomodations (and villages) I've ever been to! My little home for 5 days was gorgeous and comfortable with a front garden perfect for my yoga practice. As a solo traveler who loves my alone time it was the perfect mix of serenity with a feel of community. I was given the use of a push-bike at a very cheap price for my daily adventures and dinners out but also enjoyed a couple of the delicious communal lunches. Michael and his wife have many plans for further improving the guest experience and I look forward to coming back one day to see it all. Thank you for a blissful, inspiring stay and I wish you every success! ❤️

Not that I dislike this, it's just that the water ran too slowly. I think it's best to prevent water waste (which is very good). It's just that it's too slow sometimes. And also, i hope the breakfast will have more variations in the future. Maybe something more local like nasi campur/roti bakar hahaha.

It's like a tranquil gem set at the foot of hills and trees. We really enjoyed our stay here. Michael and all the staff were so welcoming and nice. Totally feels like home. Here, all the guests interact like long time friends. There were several activities or discussions you can join, but if you prefer to do things on your own, that's OK too. This place also offers a yoga course as well. Staying here truly refreshed our mind. Since we did a road trip from Jakarta, we could have a great relaxation just by laying in bed doing nothing here. At night we did stargazing and I swear the stars were sparkling so exquisitely! Even my friend who stays in South Bali said that she was only seeing 1 star at the time I sent her the picture of the sky above us! Overall, you should give this place a try while staying around Menjangan.

Bring more shade around the pool :)

Awesome location and atmosphere, central pool surrounded by nature. The accomodations and the buildings in a cool Balinese old style are so beautiful and a pleasure to look at. The owner Michael (busy, friendly and energetic) is well integrated in the community and will give you a glimpse of the local life and traditions when possible. Lots of activities to do around, beach is close enough, and some really cool warungs. Try the Kima Bar and Resto (8km away) for a stunning sunset in a pool with a cocktail.

It was beautiful stay. Very healthy time.

We liked the energy of each and everyone, the staff the guest, manager and everyone living a life of a family. Having a lot of fun together.

Dune Alaya is by far the best experience I have had on Bali. The host's, the crew and the guest seems to be a magical combination. I'll be back for more in the future.

Incredible place . So peaceful. The wooden accommodations are just wonderful . The garden around is beautiful and the swimming pool completes it so well . Great nature environment. All the staff is amazing . Very friendly . The owners have a big heart, and you can feel it straight away . Michael is full of resources and shares with pleasure if you are interested. Being here is like being part of a community, but you can also do your own if you prefer. You can have lunch here , the food is good and the ambience is even better , a big sharing table . What makes me feel like being part of a family . Solo travellers can stay in a "dorm" what is actually an amazing wooden house, for a good price. I feel so grateful I found that place. 🙏 I recommend staying more than one day to appreciate this great energy .

I gained insights here that I could not have gained in any other hotel. There is local food and with a bit of luck you can join local ceremonies and celebrate with them. I feel like I'm part of a big family here and everyone is very nice If you want an anonymous vacation and like parties, you should look for a hotel in the south, but if you like social contacts and want an insight into the traditions of the island of Bali, this is the right place for you. And what's more, the resort is simply beautiful and quiet I love it here!

Nothing, everything was perfect

Absolute gem ! Everything was perfect, the garden and pool are magical. The cottages are beautiful and comfortable. The owners and team are lovely. We only stated 2 nights but wished we stayed 2 weeks.

Nothing

The cottages are amazing, all wood, beautiful bathrooms. The garden is extraordinary. The location is a dream: at the feet of the mountains, and 2min from the beach. The team is incredibly friendly.

In the evening, the road that leads to the property is very dark

Really love the style of the bedroom with a huge open bathroom. There are two beds, 3 people can fit easily

There is no restaurant in the evening but they lend bikes if you don't have transport.

Take your mosquito repelend :).

Magical spot, quite but cozy - with the beautiful view on the mountain and the sea close by (short 15 min walk or take a free cycle or electric moterbike which they offer). The energy of this place is truly special. The people who run it are so open, kind and are really honoring the land, the locals and the community. Dune Alaya will feel like a loving home away from home. Super good price/quality!

We booked what we thought was going to be a private room, but a few moments before the night another visitor joined us in the spare bed with no explanation whatsoever. Unfortunately for us this person also happened to snore very heavily and it ended up ruining our night. Other than that everything was great but we would’ve liked to be aware of this beforehand.
