Umadewi Surf & Retreat

portions small but freshly made.

-

One of my favourite places in Bali - Medewi and Umadewi Surf and retreat. For the first time I stayed in one of the garden view rooms towards the rear of the property. My friends stayed in the loft rooms above. I spent very little time in my room but it was comfortable, had a great bathroom and small balcony. Access to the surf (and the waves were good) is easy and outside showers and board storage is provided. Restaurant and food was good however after several stays here it would be nice to have see some changes or additions to the menu. Staff - wonderful. Spa - 2 massage therapists and both are awesome. Bookings essential. Grounds - there are some works (improvements) being carried out near the pool - hopefully to accomodate a BBQ option and outside dining once a week. Nothing to dislike and will be heading back in 2027.

The service, the rooms were clean and the location incredible!

It should be an adults only complex, people pay a lot of money for tranquility at Umedewi and some families did not supervise their children enough. They were noisy and disturbed the peace.

We spent a few days at Umadewi Surf & Retreat while my husband was surfing, and it was an excellent experience. The waves are literally right in front of the hotel, making it the perfect location for surfers. In terms of cleanliness, food, facilities, and overall comfort, everything was a 10/10. The staff were welcoming, the resort was well maintained, and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxing.

We chose one of the more budget-friendly rooms at the back of the property. The soundproofing is not the best, but since the resort mainly caters to surfers and guests who tend to wake up early and go to bed early, it wasn't a major issue. Considering the price, it offers excellent value for money. If you're looking for a quieter and more secluded experience, I would recommend booking one of the standalone cabins right in front of the beach. The location and views are absolutely worth it.
