Veluvana Bali

Who it's for

Couples for whom the house itself is the reason for the trip, or a group of four friends in the two-storey Cobra House.

Why we chose it

The houses were built from bamboo by local craftsmen, who deliberately kept walls and doors to a minimum, so you sleep in a space that's open to nature. Octopus has a rooftop pool right above the bedroom, Snail has a round bedroom and a hot tub in its own little garden, and Manta is designed for two. Cobra has one bed on the lower platform and another on the upper one, and sleeps four. They'll bring food from the restaurant right to your pool.

What to know before booking

Owl and Cobra are built without doors, and Cobra without walls as well, so if you need a room you can close, you're better off going for the alternative.

About the area

In Sidemen you can choose a simple village room, a suite by the rice terraces or an entire bamboo house.

What to bear in mind

With villas, the layout and how open the house is make a difference. Beaches are outside the valley.
