Damai Lovina Villas


Damai Lovina Villas is located on the north coast of Bali, in the province of Buleleng, between the old capital of Singaraja and Lovina Bay, known for its dolphins.

"Hard to find, hard to leave" is what we write in our brochure, and actually Damai Lovina Villas is still alittle hidden treasure, that as of now is not known by many on the island. Jalan Damai, named after the hotel, takes the guests high up on the roads to Damai, which is placed upon a mountainside a few hundred meters above sea level, with a view of the entire bay. This is one of the things, which contributes to the uniqueness of Damai Lovina Villas, as it is rare to experience a highland hotel with an ocean view and refreshing ocean breeze. Damai means "peaceful" and it is truly synonymous with the hotel. Nicely relaxed, with a serene atmosphere.

Transfer to Damai Lovina Villas takes about 3 hours from the Airport. Our chauffeurs are skilled at informing guests as to the sights which are on the route, as well as keeping the guests supplied with refreshments underway.

8 bungalows, tastefully designed and decorated by the Danish architect Bibi Holm.
6 Deluxe with their own spa-pool and open-air bathroom.
2 Superior with an open-air shower niche.

All rooms have double beds, however, single beds are available upon request for guests staying a minimum of two nights. All rooms can also be equipped with an extra bed, but it will compromise the space inside the bungalow.



There are 6 rooms with sunken lounges, and the mattresses from these can easily be converted to children's beds. Children are welcome at Damai Lovina Villas although not advised. The customer should be informed that there are no special activities for them at the hotel. Damai Lovina Villas can offer babysitting services upon request. A children's menu is available and other meals are charged at 50%. Children under 6 years of age stay free of charge in their parents rooms.

The Swimming Pool is saltwater, with a salinity approximately 1/7th of sea water. Together with Damai's cozy little pool bar, it is naturally a spot where the guests congregate after an active day.
Damai's "Bale" is the cozy little pavilion in the middle of the gardens, where the guests can sit and read, have a massage, or just enjoy the gamelan-music in the distance and enjoy the sunset. The pavilion is surrounded by a small moat filled with exotic fish.
Spa and Beauty treatments are done by Damai's team of five dedicated and innovative massage and beauty-therapists.
