Giri Sea Cliff Penida Resort & Spa

“Discover serenity at the edge of Nusa Penida”

Giri Sea Cliff Penida Resort & Spa is the kind of place that’s worth making the long trip. The journey, which entails a speedboat ride across the ocean from Bali’s mainland and a 20-minute scenic drive, is rewarded by a sight for sore eyes. Thatched-roof structures house 17 villas that open to unobstructed views of the dazzling blue oceans and a majestic mountain that rises into the misty sky, available as One- and Two-Bedroom Villas, some boasting private pools. Interiors are beautifully laid out: the bedrooms are spacious, porches provide plenty of areas to while away the days while gazing at a picturesque scene free of manmade clutter, and bathrooms are well equipped with large bathtubs and ample vanity space for one to prepare themselves for the resort’s offers beyond the accommodations. The infinity pool, with all its curvatures, creates the illusion of floating above the cliffs, with a bar just steps away with tropical libations to complete the experience. Blissful relaxation is almost guaranteed at the spa, where Balinese healing tradition pairs with holistic therapies for restoration. Not to be missed is Solara Restaurant, an alfresco dining room where one can savour panoramic views alongside a lineup of Pan-Asian dishes.
