When it comes to vacation spots in Bali, most people immediately think of the bustling areas, but this time I discovered a hidden gem on Bali’s east coast: Alila Manggis. The hotel is located by the sea on Jalan Raya Buitan, surrounded by a super quiet environment, perfect for a fully relaxing vacation mode. There’s even a free hotel shuttle to the nearest town, which makes getting around much easier~🚎💨 Geographically, this hotel is perfect for enjoying a slow-paced stay. Although it’s far from most of Bali’s popular attractions, the area is peaceful and secluded, with lush greenery all around, full of eastern Bali charm! The decor is simple with a touch of vintage, creating a natural and rustic atmosphere. When we arrived at the front desk, the staff were very friendly and even offered a welcome drink with a strong Balinese vibe🍹. The hotel offers activities like Tai Chi, yoga, and hiking, so if you like to schedule small daily experiences, you definitely won’t get bored here!💃🧘‍♂️ The room experience was genuinely great~I stayed in a room with a sea view. Although the room isn’t brand new, it’s very clean, and the bed is quite comfortable with a medium firmness (though if you prefer a softer bed, you might find it a bit firm). You can lie on the balcony and daydream while watching the sea view; opening the curtains to see the blue sky, white clouds, and the horizon is incredibly soothing! The air conditioning works well but is a bit noisy, though it doesn’t completely disturb your rest.🛏️🌊 There are also many lesser-known spots worth visiting around the hotel. For example, Southern Dreams Diving Club and Blue Coral Reef Beach are treasure spots for diving enthusiasts! Closer to you is Bias Tugel Beach, where you can try taking some beautiful photos—the white sandy beach is super photogenic📸. If you’re interested in spa treatments, places like Andre Bali Spa or Mendira House are reliable options with reasonable prices and good reputations~❤️ The only downside is probably the somewhat isolated location; there aren’t many lively places nearby, so it’s better suited for those who prefer quiet. Especially if you want to “check in” at multiple popular Bali attractions in a short time, this location might be a bit inconvenient. Also, staying here means getting used to a more leisurely pace of life, which you can think of as fully immersing yourself in your own world!✨ Overall, Alila Manggis really feels like a hidden paradise, allowing you to relax completely. Highly recommended for those who want to escape the noise and seek tranquility! If slowing down to listen to the waves, savor local desserts, and enjoy the peaceful seaside is your ultimate goal, then this hotel is a must-visit~💖
