Nirwana Beach & Resort

The waterfront location is simply stunning . It’s quite magical relaxing in the pool while watching the ocean. We loved the ocean front villa that we enjoyed as we sat on the verandah and just absorbed the view. The staff were very warm and delightful.

The staff were really nice and there were unexpected bonuses like a complimentary beach trip and a boat/snorkeling trip. The Driver Katut was very helpful and friendly.

The whole resort was incredible. From the moment we arrived we felt welcomed, relaxed and at peace. The grounds are stunning and beautifully kept, the spacious pool amazing, and the restaurant perfect for every meal. Although a little further from the main area of town, it didn’t bother us at all as we barely left the resort. When we did go in and explore the hotel was happy to book us taxis or offer us their free shuttle service. The when we booked, the hotel had a notification saying there may be noise around the hotel due to a boardwalk being built on the foreshore but when we arrived there was no evidence of this and the resort was perfectly quiet all stay. Upon exploring the main area of town (a 5 minute taxi ride away) we discovered the construction site. It’s so far away there is no chance of noise disturbances. We can only assume all resorts in the area have to post this disclaimer regardless of how far they are away from the noise. We were glad we booked in spite of the notification! Overall we just loved our stay at Nirwana. It’s the perfect getaway up the coast in a town that feels like the Bali of old. We can’t wait to come back!

The outlook from the restaurant and pool is stunning. The gardens are so beautiful! We ate at the hotel both days, the location is outside on central Candidasa so to eat out means getting a taxi, but that was fine because the food was lovely. Having our own pool was nice however due to the location of the villa there was very little sun so if you want to sunbake by the pool just book a standard room and head to the main pool. The staff were lovely and happy, always willing to help with whatever we needed. We used the onsite spa however for an hour massage, it was in a room with no air-conditioning though, so it was pretty sticky and uncomfortable! Also had a manicure which was done outside on a terrace in the direct sun so lots of sweating! We enjoyed the complimentary afternoon tea each day and thought that was a really nice touch! Happy hour was also a winner for us. On the whole it was a lovely stay and the stunning gardens and views to Nusa Penida were amazing!

Beautiful property. We had the Oceanview rooms and they were wonderful amazing view looking at over the ocean and the pool. The food was divine and they were able to cater to gluten-free as well. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We organised a trip to virgin Beach with them. They have a number of trips you can take in a book at the reception if I was staying here longer, I would’ve definitely travelled around and seen more of the area.
