Munduk Moding Plantation Nature Resort

We couldn’t have picked a better place to unwind than Mudunk Moding Plantation Nature Resort. While many visitors opt to stay near the beach, we were seeking peace, beauty, and immersion in nature—and this resort delivered all that and more. From the moment we arrived, the experience felt warm and welcoming. The staff greeted us with friendly smiles, refreshing welcome drinks, and cool towels. We were then whisked to our villa by a golf buggy—a small but thoughtful touch that set the tone for our stay. Our villa featured a heated jacuzzi and a private infinity pool—absolute heaven! The view was breathtaking, and the jacuzzi was already warm when we arrived. We jumped right in and couldn’t stop smiling. It was one of those perfect moments where everything just felt right. We stayed for two nights and dined at both on-site restaurants. The first evening at the Balinese restaurant coincided with happy hour (cocktails were buy one, get one free). Unfortunately, the cocktails were watery and lacked flavor, which was a letdown since I had envisioned sipping something lovely in the jacuzzi with that view. The food was okay but a bit bland—I would like to add some salt to bring out the taste. The western-style restaurant on the second night was a better experience. The dishes were more flavorful and suited my palate, though the fries were soft and resembled oven chips—crispy fries would’ve made the meal more satisfying. Another minor downside was the limited beer selection. Guinness was on the menu but unavailable during our stay. A broader or more reliable selection of drinks would elevate the dining experience for guests who enjoy a cold one with a view. On the brighter side, the floating breakfast was a standout—absolutely sensational! You can order anything from the menu as long as you don’t waste food. We devoured everything on the first day. On the second, the only thing I couldn’t finish was the sweet green beans with chia seeds—too sweet for my taste, but everything else was delicious. I also treated myself to a spa massage, and it was one of the highlights of my stay. The setting was tranquil, the therapist was skilled, and I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed—exactly what I needed. Another detail I truly appreciated was the resort’s commitment to environmental sustainability. There were no plastic products in the room, which reflects their thoughtful effort to protect the natural surroundings. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be better ventilation in the bathroom—perhaps a window or enhanced airflow. Despite the minor flaws—the cocktails, fries, and beer options—the serene atmosphere, impeccable service, stunning views, and thoughtful touches made this an unforgettable getaway. Mudunk Moding Plantation Nature Resort will absolutely be my first choice when I return to Bali. If you’re someone who values peace, nature, and the joy of escaping to a tranquil paradise, this is the place for you.
