La Joya Balangan Resort

A very nice resort small and great location in an area thats still quiet and community oriented. Great pools, excellent menus and private bungalows with gardens. Easy walk to a great beach with easy surf and a few warung for drinks meals and surf lessons if wanted. A special spot in the crowded Bali beach world.

From the moment I arrived at La Joya Resort, I was completely captivated. Nestled in a breathtaking natural setting, this resort offers the perfect balance of luxury, tranquility, and authentic charm.

Be careful here. There are some lovely villas at La Joya but beware of the so called, Family Rooms, in particular numbers 24 and 25. They are definitely not worth the money. They are accessed by steep stairs both to the room itself and internally to the children’s quarters. They are extremely cramped, with hardly any floor space to stow bags. The bathroom does not have a proper window - just a wooden shutter that doesn’t close properly. Compared to the other rooms in the resort, these in particular are run-down and a little decrepit. It was very disappointing as we could see plenty of other rooms vacant but were not given the option to change. We enjoyed the pool, the roaming cows and the beautiful gardens. It was just a shame about the expensive and very disappointing room.
