Wapa Di Ume is a boutique hideaway located on the outskirts of town, merging with the rich paddy clad hillside, using traditional materials where possible. With just 16 rooms, including some with private pools, this authentic retreat has blended with the local style with well-chosen art, and use of local stone and hardwoods in the rooms and public spaces. All rooms are designed to make the most of the picture-perfect setting with views over the verdant terraces and up towards to emerald mountain peaks and are spacious with natural light, calm light colours.

In the evening enjoy a refreshing cocktail at Bar57 and dine at The Sleeping Gajah restaurant, with wonderful views of the Unda River and offering a delicious selection of western and Balinese dishes.

The two-tier swimming pool is the place to be for ultimate relaxation with the most spectacular of views. If that’s not enough, relax at Kapha spa – offering holistic and healing treatments in this pristine setting. The yoga pavilion offers both beginners and advanced classes with panoramic view of Sidemen and the verdant countryside. Outside the resort guests can go trekking, or borrow bicycles to explore the surroundings, or join a carefully curated tour and experience local life (this area is known for its weaving and ikat fabric dying techniques). White water fating is also on offer.
