The Aroma Villa Munduk

The marquisa juice !

We closed our eyes and picked a spot on the map, and found a hidden gold mine! On arrival at Aroma Villa we were made to feel extremely welcome with fresh fruit and a freshly picked coconut to drink from. Wayan has created a wonderful and peaceful spot nestled in the middle of rice paddies with an incredible view to the mountains. Having selected a breakfast & dinner inclusion, we have tried local dishes that added to our experience with food from his garden and family farms. While the local chickens add to the ambiance, they don't ruin the tranquility. While this is a typical Aussie reference, do yourself a favour and book a stay here. You won't regret it as you will experience real Bali in comfort!

The owner is a great person, very helpful. The apartment is located next to a rice field, the wider area is good for walking. There are pretty waterfalls, street markets and natural life in general within easy reach on a scooter.

There was no comfortable seating on the terrace of the room, but this is only a minor blemish on an otherwise impeccable stay.

Everyone speaks about Wayan and what a beautiful host he is, but you have to experience it to actually understand how amazing and kind he is. This is not just staying at a beautiful villa, it’s an entire experience. Also if you’re wondering if you should stay in Munduk, this villa is so damn close (waterfalls are an easy 15 min scooter too), so look no further and stay here. So glad we did.

Everything was amazing.

American citizen here who can enthusiastically endorse this not just as a great place to stay, but one of the most unique experiences to be had in Bali. The two things that most stand out are the incredible kindness/giving nature of the owner, as well as the location near Munduk. I also felt like I got a more deep cultural immersion into Balinese way of life by staying here. Wayan really goes out of his way for villa guests. As there are only two rooms, he essentially gives you undivided attention during your stay. As others mention, usually he will offer you transportation around town in his van since it is a bit more rural. He wanted to take us to a few waterfalls, but when we told him we also wanted to see Ulu Danu Beratan temple, he was extremely kind to drive us there and wait for us in the parking lot while we saw the temple before taking us to the waterfalls for a great hike (the waterfalls he took us to are undoubtely some of the best in Bali, as they still have decent enough infrastructure without being as crowded as some of the other waterfalls). He took us to a hot springs after the waterfall. This was a 6-7 hour day almost, and he doesn't ask for any sort of payment for this; we still tipped him a monetary amount that a full-day driver would usually charge. I can't officially promise on his behalf what he will offer, but based on other guests' reviews and my experience, it seems he would offer you help with transportation, whether for a short part of the day or even the full day! I genuinely think the location on the villa is one of its highlights. If you want to go to partying in clubs/bars, you can still do so, it's just a 20-25 in drive to Munduk city. If you don't care about being in the heart of a city, it is so refreshing being in this villa b/c it is perched next to a rice terrace, and from the comfort of the swimming pool, you can enjoy the incredible beauty of the Munduk countryside with rice terraces.

We are a couple and stayed for two nights. An absolutely great experience with the nicest host you can imagine. We got served a variety of exotic fruit from his own garden to eat. View over the sparkling pool into saturated green ricefields right next to the place and great view into the mountains. The place is also very well suited for a family. If required, the host will guide yoe to different sights. We higly recommend this place for a well rounded experience.

There is nothing negative to report.

My wife and i stayed in the upstairs room. The room was very nice and clean, and the views were amazing! The best thing about our stay was the owner, Mr Wyan, who was the nicest, most welcoming person we've ever met! He welcomed us with a cold, fresh coconut and passion fruit from his garden, which were delicious. He would go out of his way to make sure our stay was comfortable and serve us breakfast on the balcony each morning. He showed us around his beautiful garden, rented us a lovely new scooter, helped us plan our day trips and also cooked us the best mi goreng we've ever had. We highly recommend staying at the Aroma Villa Munduk!

Nothing!

Best host ever. Lovely breakfast every morning. Breathtaking views. Great pool. Modern comfy room and bed. Large balcony

Wayan the Owner is caring, genuine and made us feel cared n looked after. He goes out of his way to help. The walk down the valley is pleasant, among trees, we went in search of maya restaurant but couldn’t find it. They do deliveries which Wayan will help you with so that was cool. Best beds, great view. Only two rooms so it’s exclusive. The pool was grrrreat! We loved it to bits n will be back.

The accessibility to restaurants is limited. We walked so that limited us. Others used motorbikes so no issue.

I would call this a breathtaking place to spend the night. A beautiful view, a beautiful accommodation and great service. This place is run by a very friendly and helpful owner. We would love to visit this place again sometime.
