Kayu Mama Resort and Spa

I absolutely adore this place and stay whenever I'm in Bali. The grounds and garden are gorgeous. It has a really lovely vibe, facilities are top notch, rooms are stylish with beautiful lighting, staff and owner are super friendly and helpful, food is great. Only thing I'd fault is it's getting hard to get a room as more people discover this gem.

"Kayu Mama is a dream realized, a place where the owner's generosity and vision have helped shape my retreat dreams into reality. As a dear friend and collaborator, he has created a sanctuary that is both immaculate and inviting. The premises are breathtaking—a fusion of thoughtful design and Balinese culture. The facilities, from the indulgent SPA to the tranquil Shala and the lush pool, are impeccable. Clean, fresh, and brimming with serene energy, they offer a perfect setting for rejuvenation. Dining at the Forage restaurant is a highlight, with each meal reflecting the highest quality and care. I'm grateful to host my retreats here and confidently recommend Kayu Mama as a pinnacle of wellness and beauty."

An incredible experience!!!! This place is truly a rare gem, not only because it has beautiful lodges, stunning lush greenery and top class food, but the team at Kayumama are the real diamonds. I’ve travelled quite a bit not only across Indonesia but the world and stayed in many luxury and boutique hotels and resorts, but I have never experienced a place like here, and it’s truly down to the people. It has such a beautiful energy, very cosy and chilled vibes that is so heart warming. Here’s a few of my highlights: The chef here is amazing… I really felt the passion and creativity from his dishes. Such a wonderful menu with a variety for all tastes. The sunshine soup, chicken main, and moringa smoothie bowel were my favorites. Spa/ Yoga: there are no on prem therapists but what the team does exceptionally well is offering such a wide variety of treatments through their partners. The turnaround time is super quick also. I had massages almost daily, Accuputure and astrological birth chart reading, full moon ritual, private 1:1 yoga. All from different partners and each were incredible. It felt like I was on a healing retreat and I could customize my own package for my needs. Booking was seamless. The pool is super nice surrounded by lots of lush greenery and very relaxing. They have their own yoga shala, cool plunge, steam and sauna room for a very reasonable extra fee. Really lovely add on. The rooms - the rooms are very cosy, clean and beautiful outdoor bathrooms. I believe they have different options. The dogs: Mate and Benjamin. I feel in love with them and they also bring a special atmosphere here. I hope to see them when I return. And lastly the beautiful people just made this stay one of the most memorable. Desi the manager is a breath of fresh air, such a beautiful woman and takes time to connect and speak to her guests. The team Ayu, Mici and many many others were all amazing. Can’t wait to return!!

I had an amazing cocooning time there as premises, people and food were fantastic. It was a dream to live like a little paradise. It is close to nice surf beaches The facilities are great The size is perfect

Unfortunately a few days into our stay we discovered bed bugs in our mattress and had bites on our bodies. The owners made us feel like an inconvenience and handled the situation very poorly. They moved us to another room where we also had bed bugs and cockroaches. We then decided to change accommodations. Although the owners took the standard procedure of washing and spraying our belongings they did unsolicited contact us after we left denying any existence of bedbugs and blamed the bed bugs on us (even though we came straight from our home in Australia and hadn’t travelled anywhere else) Grayden (the owner) came across as very dismissive and aggressive towards us which made us very uncomfortable. We again reminded Grayden that we saw live ones crawl and shared our photos of the bed and bites on us hoping this would prompt further action into properly dealing with their infestation he replied to us saying he considered this case closed.
