Sebatu Sanctuary Eco-resort

What a little fairytale! Tucked away in one of the most beautiful and green areas of Bali, this place is an absolute gem. We stayed in the Bamboo Pod, which offered a front-row seat to breathtaking jungle views. The facilities were amazing, and the ambiance felt so magical. But what really stood out was the staff—they were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home.

My stay at Sebatu Sanctuary was exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with great hospitality. The location of the Bamboo Pod is simply breathtaking. Nestled in a natural setting of unparalleled beauty, with a panoramic view of the terraced rice fields and an atmosphere of absolute tranquility. The Bamboo Pod itself was incredibly comfortable, providing a cozy retreat. The natural pool with its hundreds of fish was truly surprising. It offered a unique and refreshing experience, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature. Finally, the cuisine offered at the establishment's restaurant is simply exquisite.The Granola Bowl at breakfast was so delicious.

It's hard to write something that captures how amazing this place it, Sebatu is really very special and unique, absolutely wonderful. We were a family group of 3 boys, parents and granny and stayed in 2 bamboo pods. Luxurious, spacious rooms in the heart of nature, the wonderful pool with little fish swimming with you, this is a really special place to stay. The owners have created a luxurious place which is incredibly relaxing; really excellent food in the restaurant with a beautiful menu to choose from to suit differing tastes, the breakfast is stunning and so beautifully presented, and every detail of the styling and design is beautiful and carefully considered. Beds and pillows were so comfy, air conditioning upstairs in the lumbung was really effective but we had the lovely option of the downstairs level to be closer to nature and fresh air. The architecture of the incredible bamboo pods is breathtaking, it is so inspiring to see, and such clever design. It was easy to arrange a driver to and from Ubud making everything so easy, and they helped arrange transfers to and from further destinations, which was great value and the drivers were all lovely. We were very sad to leave. We did a day trip in one of the beautiful VW combos in pouring rain which was so memorable and huge fun. I strongly recommend staying at Sebatu, it's so close to Ubud and we felt welcomed, cared for, relaxed and really lucky to have discovered this place. I'd love to go back. The owners Alex and Eva have created something really special and you can feel the care and thought that has gone into every little touch; the whole place has a blend of high end luxury within the truly beautiful Balinese culture and setting, in the absolutely heart of nature which we just loved. A really wonderful place.

Beautiful jungle resort with the most amazing staff! We stayed 4 nights at the end of our trip to Bali and loved the setting in up the hills in the middle of the jungle as well as the very friendly and attentive staff, who did everything to make our stay pleasant. The restaurant is outstanding and offered by far the most delicious food we had during our stay in Bali. Try the tangerine salad and the Scrambled Egg Prata Wrap for breakfast! Make sure you know that due to the location of the resort you share the grounds with a big variety of animals and insects and you might meet some frogs, lizards and ants in your open bathroom ;). Although the hotel does't have its own spa, local therapists come there on demand. Definitely treat yourself with a massage (I can recommend the hot stone massage), which can be booked at the reception. Special thanks go to Wayan who was very helpful and considerate and made sure everything was perfect all the time.
