Spa Village Resort Tembok Bali - Small Luxury Hotels of the World

We had an amazing Luxury Escapes getaway for five nights and cannot fault anything at Spa Village Tembok. While it’s a long trip to Tembok our driver ensured our transfer was as comfortable as possible. Every, and I mean every, staff member at Spa Village delivered an amazing service, from always greeting us by name, arranging our itinerary, refilling our water, ensuring our stay was as amazing as possible. The included spa treatments were incredible, daily yoga was wonderful, the food options were fab and the infinity pool and availability of pool beds was all we could ask for. This is the place to come if you want pure relaxation, escape the hustle bustle, excellent service and an indulgent but affordable getaway. Highly recommend.

A lovely relaxing mini break, everything is inclusive transfers from the airport ( be mindful it’s a 3 hour drive) meals, a cocktail daily, yoga, and 50 min massage. Beautiful location right on the beach - it’s a small hotel that has friendly staff, ever helpful. Its remote location away from shops and bars and restaurants made it for me more appealing as I wanted to slow down and relax.

The best experience we have ever had! We came to spa village for our honeymoon we were literally treated like royalty. All staff knew our name from the moment you arrived they are all so helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. Singapore airlines unfortunately lost all our luggage for our first 4 days at the resort and the staff provided us with traditional clothes they have on site and sandals so we could enjoy the stay. They rang the airline for us multiple times each day till our luggage arrived. We had a 50 minute treatment daily which was so lovely, the therapists were so kind and friendly. After each massage you get a small warm cleansing drink much I really liked. The Balinese massage was our favourite! The resort has one restaurant which changes its menu daily. The lunch and the breakfast menu stayed the same but the evening was always different. You even get surprise courses each day too. Only small bites but always so tasty! The menu for dinner is small and all traditional Balinese food so very authentic. My husband has a nut allergy and this was a little bit of an issue, not all serving staff could speak the best English/ understand exactly what you meant. The majority did! There was a few times that we were served nuts within dishes after telling the serving staff daily he was allergic. A few members of the serving staff spoke amazing English and understood that nuts were a no no but the lady taking your order who speaks great English isn’t the person serving you the food . So there must be some crossed wires there. He doesn’t have a severe nut allergy but I would be very careful if you do! I had to try all his dishes first and check if there was any nuts in them. It was mainly an issue if there wasn’t a physical nut on the plate as in if the dessert was pistachio flavoured or peanut sauce. But if there was an obvious nut like in granola they understood that that couldn’t be served. We stayed in the pool villa so had a private pool, we never actually used the main pool because of this. Everyone at the resort tended to spend their days by the main pool but as the resort only has 30 rooms it was never too busy. The main pool has a stargazing experience each night where you can get on a float and look up at the stars, we really enjoyed this, it was so beautiful. The resort is so quiet! It’s mainly couples there so never noisy. The only noise we ever heard was the hotel next door which are really loud at night, we could easily sleep through it but this hotel isn’t exactly close to spa resort so they must have their music really loud for us to hear it. It’s mainly the thudding of the beats than the words of the songs we could hear. The spa resort provides you with an itinerary of your stay that you can stick to or change. It really helped us plan our stay. A lot of people don’t tend to go out and do the experiences but we did. We went out of the sunset cruise which is just on the beach in front of the resort this was so beautiful

What a fabulous resort. From the moment we arrived to the moment we had to leave we were so well looked after. On arrival from Ubud we received a welcoming drink and cool towel followed by a shoulder and foot massage. Although it was 2;30 pm our room wasn't quite ready so we were ushered into lunch, as part of our full board package. About 40 minutes later we were taken to our room on the upper floor overlooking the gardens, with a lovely balcony with a comfy sofa and table for you to while your time away. Our room was spotlessly clean, fully airconditioned, with plenty of hanging and storage space. No iron or ironing board but laundry service should you require it. Fabulously comfy bed, well stocked mini bar, tea and coffee. A coffee machine would have been a nice additional touch. There was also a sofa and desk/dressing table with chair adapter plugs soft lighting and hair dryer, although a more power full one have been appreciated. The bathroom was bright and clean with plenty of towels , shampoo, soap conditioner. although maybe a little dated with a shower over the bath which might have been better if it had been a rain shower. The rooms were serviced daily in the morning and evenings by the room staff who had great attention to detail, leaving you little notes and hand woven trinkets daily. We had a 50 minute treatment booked every day. These were set out on an itinerary which was left in your room, but you were able to change any of the treatments to suit you as long as the staff were able to accommodate you within the spa schedule. All our treatments were amazing, although I might skip the foot massage as it wasn't my favorite . However we were thoroughly pampered, and felt amazing at the end of each session. There was plenty of other things to do like yoga, sunset cruise, crafty activities and trips off site, but we chose to laze around the pool most of the time, with pool service available and water constantly on offer all day to make sure you were well hydrated. The pool was open from 7am-9pm so we took advantage of this for early morning swimming then coffee by the pool before heading into breakfast. Plenty of options with regards to food, always delicious well presented and the staff were just fabulous and would explain all options and alternatives if you had dietary issues. We were also lucky enough to have a Balinese evening being entertained my local children doing traditional dancing. The beach was black volcanic sand and you do need beach shoes if you are swimming in the sea as its very rocky just off shore. Do go snorkeling off the beach there was lots to see as well as crystal clear warm water there was corals regenerating and plenty of fish. Walk to the left of the beach past the locals with their fishing boats to view the sunset in the evenings. This place was kept immaculate by the ground staff and gardeners. In fact I don't think we have ever been to a resort where the staff have been so friendly and eager to talk to

Excellent resort which is extremely peaceful, being located in a quiet part of Bali and which has a small number of rooms keeping the guest count small. Also, kids are not allowed so that adds to the peace. The pool area was nice and chairs/cabanas were always available. The beach is rocky but definitely swimmable. The food was delicious though a bit small in portions. Rooms were perfectly comfortable. Lots of helpful staff and the included spa treatments added to the experience. There are a few excursions the hotel can arrange which was convenient. Only reason I can't give 5 stars is the long and grueling drive to and from the airport! It is 3-4 hours of traffic, bumps, road-sickness etc, so just be prepared for that. But maybe that's the only way you can get peace on Bali!

Tembok Spa Village Resort is completely beautiful! The sound of the waves on the black sandy beach is always with you as the pebbles wash in with the waves, it is incredibly relaxing. We loved the day beds by the pool, the perfect place to read a book. The reflections of the palm trees in the pool are what dreams are made of. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were all delicious - and having them included in our package made our stay so easy and decadent. Even when we went on a day trip to Amed and a sunrise boat trip in Lovina Bay, the resort staff carefully organised our meals for while we were away. The suite was exceptional, so much space, a wonderful balcony and the daily notes and gifts on our pillow a thoughtful touch. But three things really stand out about this wonderful resort, the incredible welcome foot bath and neck and shoulder massage, the attentiveness of the staff and provision of a proposed itinerary on check in (including lots of ideas we hadn't thought of and thoroughly enjoyed - like the sunrise dolphin tour in Lovina Bay) and the other worldy massages provided in the spa. I had a massage from Wayan that is the best I have ever had (and I have had a lot of massages!). So, do yourself a favour, and book this resort - it is outstanding! PS Request Sono to drive you from the airport :-)
