After a big day of exploring, there’s nothing like heading back to your own tropical paradise to sink a couple of sundowners poolside. But with so many accommodation options, it can be hard to know where to lay your head. Luckily, that’s where we come in.
Each month, we’ll explore some of the island’s hottest stays to help kickstart your travel fantasies. In this month's instalment, we take you inside Hotel Kommune. Sitting on the stunning east coast away from the crowds, this resort and beach club combo is the go-to spot for anyone who loves a bit of five-star après-surf. We’re talking comfy oceanfront daybeds, a tasty menu full of all-day coastal bites, a gram-worthy infinity pool, a creative list of cocktails and even a luxurious spa. Plus, if you book your stay with us, you’ll save up to 61% on a 3, 5 or 7-night stay.
WHAT YOU’LL LOVE
A postcard-perfect resort with stylish suites, one of Bali’s best surf breaks right on your doorstep and an iconic beach club – what's not to love about Komune Resort? Taking an effortless approach to luxurious island living, Kommune’s off-the-beaten-path location is one of our favourite spots to escape the crowds. Lovingly designed with the active traveller in mind, this active health retreat offers everything you need and more for a laidback staycation. And, while you could stop by for a weekend escape, we advise staying a little longer. The top-notch facilities will hint as to why: an oceanfront infinity pool with a prime view of the waves, plenty of outdoor activities and, of course, the on-site food and drink scene. Need we say more?
THE ROOMS
Calming, cool and contemporary are the vibe of the Resort Rooms – each of which offers a small lounge area, a comfortable queen-sized bed, an ensuite bathroom and an outdoor veranda. Need some more space? We’d say upgrade to a Pool Suite. These spacious rooms come with endless sea views, a bathtub and rain shower, an al-fresco dining area and (you guessed it) your very own swimming pool. While you’re at it, treat yourself to one of their iconic floating breakfasts – you can thank us later. For a next-level stay, book into a private Pool Villa. Perfect for anyone seeking a little extra privacy, these one or two-bedroom villas come with your own pool, a spacious lounge area, a fully equipped kitchen, and a relaxing deep soak tub. Dreamy, right?
FOOD AND DRINK
We get that you won't want to pull yourselves away from this oceanfront paradise – and luckily you don’t have to. Simple, tasty and fresh is the mantra here with three different restaurants serving up all-day coastal bites and mouthwatering nutritious meals. Perched on the waterfront with endless ocean views and a laidback soundtrack, the Hotel Komune Beach Club is the perfect spot for a lazy day in paradise. Eat your way through delicious seafood, authentic pizzas, and fresh salads, then wash it all down with a colourful cocktail or two. Over at the Health Hub Garden Café, farm-to-table has never been so fresh. Expect leafy greens straight from the garden, free-range eggs and handpicked fruits from the surrounding trees. If you don’t fancy leaving the beach, check out the Surfers Warung. By day, feast on local favourites and soak in views of the surf, and by night, the vibes turn up a notch as the warung transforms into a Rum Bar.
THE EXTRAS
With an entire hub dedicated to the art of health and wellness, Komune is the perfect place to find your zen. The Health Hub invites muscle-weary surfers to indulge in top-notch massages, coconut-buffed body scrubs and dreamy hair baths, while the state-of-the-art fitness centre and three yoga pavilions offer the perfect pre-surf training sesh. Not only a tropical playground for adults, but a dedicated kids club will also sweep your little ones into a world of fun, leaving you to soak up the vibes around the Adults-Only pool and carve up one of Bali’s most iconic surf spots.
The best part? If you book your stay with us, you’ll save up to 61% when you lock-in a 3, 5 or 7-night stay. We’ll see you there.
