Taman Sari Resort sits on the northern coast of Bali, in a scenic area with volcanoes forming a dramatic backdrop. The village of Pemuteran offers an off-the-beaten path location to experience one of Bali’s beautiful beaches. Travelers come here to enjoy the accommodations of a plush resort not far from some of Bali’s top-tier diving and snorkeling attractions.

Take advantage of this coastal location with a snorkeling or diving trip to the coral reef that’s just off shore. This reef is a fascinating example of a successful man-made reef, made from a substance called biorock. From nearby the resort, you can depart on trips to West Bali National Park and Menjangan Island. Menjangan Island is also known for its diving opportunities — there’s a Dutch shipwreck where you can see schools of fish swimming among a cargo of old bottles. On the island’s trails, you can see an abundance of wildlife and some interesting Hindu temples.

Taman Sari has two pools that overlook the ocean. One of the pools has an adjacent hot tub. Next to the pool, you can visit the open-air bamboo bar. They serve cold beer, wine, and cocktails. The spa offers traditional massage as well as aromatherapy, scrubs, and therapies. You can choose from soothing indoor massage rooms or outdoor treatment areas that are right next to the beach.

The on-site restaurant has a variety of international and Indonesian specialities, served in a beachfront dining area. Breakfast is included in your stay. Everything you can order at the hotel restaurant is also available on the room service menu, in case you feel like spending a night in.

Guests of Taman Sari Resort can choose from a range of accommodations. You might choose from a cozy garden or beachside cottage, a villa with a private pool, or a suite with an outdoor bath. All of these accommodations are individually decorated and made to make you feel at home in your tropical, coastal surroundings. You’ll find four-poster beds and elements of traditional Balinese design in a breezy, open space.

No matter where you stay, you’ll find your guest space equipped TVs and DVD players, and Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort. Store any drinks or snacks in the mini refrigerator, or help yourself to the minibar. All of the accommodations have air conditioning, and no matter where you stay, you’ll have conveniences like a safety deposit box. Each space has a private bathroom that’s equipped with all the niceties you’d expect at an upscale hotel.
