The Damai

We arrived using The Damai airport pick up driver therefore we were collected in a beautiful car with drinks and cold towels from the airport. The reception team were therefore expecting us at 1045pm and were able to check us in quickly and even arrange for some dinner to the dropped to the Villa. The Damai itself is a paradisical place set in Lush Gardens with the most attentive staff one could ask for. The team go above and beyond to make sure everyone's stay in special including learning all guest names, dietary requirements, likes/dislikes etc. The attention to details in the rooms/villa were excellent. We were staying in the Master Pool Villa (Umar Ratu) therefore we had the beautiful infinity pool from most of the promo shots one sees for this hotel. The decoration, the outdoor decking and pool were maintained multiple times per day so the place looks perfect 24/7. Finally I would highlight the food at the Damai - each breakfast is a special occasion and the dinner menus/cocktail menus are outstanding (be willing to be pay a premium for such cooking if you can). I believe this to be the best resort in Lovina and so do the locals down on Lovina beach !

A fabulous hotel consisting of charming villas set in a lush tropical garden. The pool area is delightful, with stunning views of the surrounding landscape and complimentary towels available for guests. The entire property is spotless and impeccably maintained, with top-notch service from the entire staff. We enjoyed a wonderful massage that ended with tea and pure relaxation. Nothing is left to chance here. Breakfast was fantastic—three very different dishes, each one bursting with flavor. Until 6 PM, the hotel offers complimentary transport to Lovina or the beach, which was a great bonus. We originally planned to stay two nights but ended up staying eight nights - and we do not regret a second of it. A truly unique experience—yes, it is pricey, but absolutely worth it. We are already planning to return some day. Jesper and Trine, Denmark

We loved the staff, the service and the stylish and well presented facilities. The restaurant was superb and the bar offered classic as well as innovative locally influenced cocktails. Wifi was easy to connect and delivered all we wanted. The hotel also offered free shuttle cars to Lovina and excellent local excursions. We loved it, and are already discussing our next visit

The Damai is our favourite place to stay in Bali, and we stayed at some great places. The room was beautifully presented, the private pool was outstanding and we had uninterrupted views down the lush green valley to the coast. The staff looked after us like family and the Balinese dancing lessons for the local school children on the entrance steps were such a wonderful introduction to the local culture. The location is wonderfully serene and quiet, you can't help but relax. The restaurant by the reception pool is superb, albeit expensive by Balinese standards but worth it. The breakfasts were also outstanding. Buy the Damai cookbook, there's a copy on the coffee table at reception but it's not obvious you can buy it unless you ask. We used the shuttle to the local beach and some other restaurants as well, Lovina is a lovely little place without the crowds and pressure to buy that you get in the south of the island.

The hotel is absolutely wonderful, it is not on the main road and the view of the ocean with the sunset is truly breathtaking, the food excellent and homemade but what made everything more exciting, perfect and magical was the staff! ! When I left I shed tears. I wanted to thank Wulan very much who made my holiday special, she is a wonderful woman and excellent at her job, I will never forget her, Budi makes fantastic cocktails and is very friendly and the guys who serve the tables have entered my heart Putu is very sweet and also the other guy (I don't remember his name, sorry) was very good and I was surprised that he knew some words in Spanish. VERY PROFESSIONAL thank you very much
