A truly beautiful and lush oase close the Lovina, a bit located up the mountains. Restaurant and pool area by day and night very beautiful and cosy, great to relax and swim. Room was amazing, great eye for detail with flowers, a luxury experience. Yoga classes every monday and thursday. We really appreciated the free shuttle service that took us to the village at least 1-2 times per day. Best of it all, the staff. Truly warm and engaging - with us, our children and we were taken care off in all aspects. Chapeau!

The food is good and shows clearly a high ambition but in our opinion overpriced. A main dish adds up to 450K IDR (incl service fee and tax), and that is not worth it, although - as said - it was good. In Sweden we pay less for more. It was for us the reason not to eat at the hotel half of the time. Good food, but overpriced.

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 !

There are no negative aspects to note! The resort is perfect

Absolutely beautiful villas and top-notch service. Gorgeous territory, with jungle and a view of the sea. Fantastic food, especially the breakfasts. Special thanks to Wulan and Wayan at reception, Sri and Adi in the restaurant and Gede for good driving.

The villa had a noisy pool pump right below the bale and veranda area, in a room without a door. We turned it off, but this seems like a design flaw in an otherwise very well-thought out environment. A better approach would be to have a closed pump room, so the pool pump can be active without being acoustically disturbing at the same time.

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 stayed 3 nights in the Damai, in one of the villas with private pool. The accommodations were truly fantastic and the domain is very well maintained. When entering the lobby, the first thing you see is the open swimming pool with an amazing view, located near the bar and restaurant. After check-in we were guided to our room, an amazing villa with private pool and with full privacy garden. The room is nice, very clean, with an outdoor shower and bath. They staff cleans the room every day, and comes by multiple times a day, to open the window covers in the moring (when you're at breakfast), clean and make up bed, close the covers in the evening and prepare bed for sleep, or bring fresh fruits. Overall the staff of the Damai is so friendly and welcoming, the restaurant serves great food and breakfast. This was truly a remarkable stay and I would definitely recommend staying in the Damai if you're looking for rest and calmed. Thank you, I would really like to come back one day.

The setting is great, also for a relaxing massage, but I found the price for the massages to high. There are many places in Bali to get a good Balinese massage in a great setting. I think lowering the price (to make it more competitive), would increase the number of massages given.

I had such a beautiful stay at Damai. Set on a hill overlooking lush green landscapes and the sea, it felt peaceful and truly special from the moment I arrived. The room was spacious and stunning, and watching the sunset from the pool area was absolutely magical, one of those moments you don’t forget. The food was excellent (breakfast was a highlight), and what really stood out was the service. The staff were so kind and attentive, remembering my dietary needs throughout my stay, which added such a warm and thoughtful touch. It felt like more than just a stay, it was an experience filled with care, beauty, and genuine hospitality. I left feeling so looked after and can’t wait to return

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

A Hidden Gem in Bali – The Damai Is Pure Perfection Having stayed in many hotels and resorts around the world, I thought I had seen it all. But arriving at The Damai, it quickly became clear that this is no ordinary place – it is the pinnacle of hospitality, luxury, and personal attention. The Damai is a small-scale resort owned by two Danes, and I had the privilege of meeting one of them. We had a long and inspiring conversation, which immediately highlighted the personal and warm atmosphere that defines this place. With only 15 luxurious lodges, The Damai feels intimate, exclusive, and meticulously cared for. From the moment you enter, you notice the attention to detail in every corner – the ambiance, the finish, the comfort. But what truly sets this place apart is the team. The staff are not only highly trained and professional but genuinely kind, interested, and service-oriented. You don’t feel like a guest – you feel like part of a family. The culinary experience is of a level rarely encountered, especially in such a remote setting. The kitchen is trained by Michelin-star chefs, and it shows in every dish. Food lovers will be in absolute heaven. The Damai achieves what so many try but few truly master: they don’t just offer a stay – they create an experience you’ll never forget. One that touches you, lingers, and calls you back. Many try to offer a familial atmosphere, but at The Damai, it feels genuine, natural, and unmatched. An absolute must for anyone seeking a unique blend of luxury, peace, world-class cuisine, and heartfelt hospitality.

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.

It was a steep walk from the hotel reception to our room, although we could have got a golf cart to drop us off if that really mattered.

We enjoyed a relaxing stay at the Damai. Staff are attentive and accommodating. The place itself is an oasis surrounded by green which was very relaxing for us. Rooms are cleaned multiple times a day which we thought was a nice touch. Every time we returned to the room it was made up.

As others have said, the restaurant prices are incredibly high. The food is amazing, however, the prices are just not justifiable. Equally amazing food is available at external restaurants for less. To give you an idea, we paid AUD 36 for two small bowls of hot chips. If the prices were more reasonable then this place would be faultless.
