Nandini Jungle by Hanging Gardens

Staying at Nandini Jungle Resort and Spa was an unforgettable experience that felt like a retreat into nature’s embrace. Nestled deep in the lush Balinese jungle, the resort offers not just a place to stay, but a complete immersion in the natural world — with the scent of rain, misty cool evenings, the hum of bees, and the soothing sounds of the forest surrounding you. One of the resort’s unique features is its private jungle funicular, which takes you up and down the hillside through the canopy — such a fun and scenic experience that adds to the charm and adventure of the stay. But what truly sets Nandini apart is the incredible service. The staff are genuinely warm, thoughtful, and welcoming. They go far beyond expectations — remembering your name, your orders, and even your birthday, making every guest feel truly special. They offer sarongs for the chilly evenings, open a new bottle for you each time, and refresh your room daily with evening turn-down service that gets your space ready for a restful sleep. The rooms themselves are beautiful and blend seamlessly with the natural environment. Wooden floors and sandstone shower floors not only look stunning but also provide a gentle, natural scrub for your feet. Daily yoga sessions help you relax and center yourself, and the Balinese massage is among the best I’ve ever experienced — with perfect pressure and a background symphony of waterfall and river sounds that melts stress away. Whether you’re looking for peace, nature, or pampering, Nandini Jungle Resort delivers it all — and with heart. This place is pure magic. I can’t wait to come back.

We stayed at Nandini for 6 days and had the most wonderful time. The facilities are excellent and the location is out of this world. An incredibly special place. The staff are exceptional. They could not be more attentive, kind and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble and we loved getting to know about them and their culture. Many staff live in the nearby village so it was wonderful to hear their pride in their country and culture.

We had an impressive experience at Nandini jungle. From the warm reception with a complimentary room upgrade, everything was simply beyond our expectations. The staff is sincerely interested in the guests wellbeing and happyness. Even with a small medical problem they went above and beyond to make sure i had everything needed. The location is simply magical and deeply impressive. Falling asleep with the soothing and mystical sounds of the jungle and waking up with to an amazing view in the sunrise villa. The free breakfast is overwhelming and more than anyone could need. The foods and service in the restaurant are of exceptional quality and even though a bit more expensive than the rest of bali, still the cheapest sublime luxury experience ive had. We left deeply impressed by the surroundings but even more so by the kindness of the people.
