The Griya Villas and Spa

We had the 3 bedrooms villa with a breathtaking sea view from the private infinity pool. It is a spacious master room with a (half) open bathroom with a shower and bath and two rooms with only showers. The beds are comfortable. The layout of the villa and pool is private and pleasant to have a good time with a family or a group of friends. Cleaning and maintenance of the pool is done properly. Breakfast is a la carte and offers sufficient choice. The staff is working very hard to be hospitable. The first night we were bothered by mosquitoes and asked for mosquito nets. They were able to provide nets for 2 of the 3 rooms. Great snorkeling and beaches nearby.

Being in the highest located villa we had to walk a steep hill. They can give you a ride in the hotel golf cart. However, it is a good exercise if you are fit enough. Between the windows in the living room were big gaps so that flies and mosquitoes entered. The price we paid for the 3 bedroom villa created high expectations. It probably is the best hotel in the quiet Amed area but it did not live up to these expectations. It was build about ten years ago and design and facilities need some update and maintenance. Value and price can be more in line.

The view

Lots of bugs and mosquitoes

Nice rooms. Excellent villas. Good breakfast. Nice restaurant and bar

Internet is terrible. It keeps on disconnecting. For and expensive hotel with good standards internet was below par

The view is stunning. The food was delicious. The pool nice and clean.

The Griya Villas and Spa is absolutely fantastic and it’s one of the best places we’ve ever stayed at!! Our experience was so amazing we wish we had more time to stay longer!! Firstly, location location location! It’s situated in Amed - which is truly a hidden gem of Bali. Minimal tourists, lovely local people and beautiful beaches with lots of opportunities for snorkeling and diving. The resort is only a walking-distance away (10min walk) from Lipah beach. You can also easily get to Jemeluk Beach and the Japanese Shipwreck in 10-15min by hiring a scooter/car from the resort. There are lots of surrounding restaurants with authentic and well-priced Balinese food. The Heavens Gate, Water Temple and local Rice Fields are also 30min drive/ride away from the resort. The villas themselves are absolutely stunning with contemporary decor incorporating traditional Balinese motifs. But the best of all is the breathtaking views of the ocean, moutains, daily sunrise and a clear night sky full of stars you can access from your own villa. All of which you can also enjoy from the luxury of your own infinity pool! Last but not least, the restaurant makes delicious food and cocktails!! Every dish was cooked to perfection - we were very impressed by the in-house chefs! The staff are excellent - professional, friendly and helpful at all times! The resort also offers yoga classes, Balinese dance performances and many options for short or full day trips which are very reasonably priced. All in all, we only have praises for Griya Villas and Spa. We will definitely go back and would highly recommend this amazing resort to anyone visiting Bali!!

Nothing at all!
