We had a very comfortable couple of nights staying at Baliku. All the electricity was in working order and no problems from unassuming staff. They were all very good in fact. As mentioned by others, the rooms are lovely - large and simplistic in design with a Mediterranean flair. The views from much of the resort are fabulous, from the dining area, pool and rooms. Perfect location for diving or snorkeling the Japanese shipwreck out the front of the hotel. This end of Amed is quiet and it would be beneficial to have a scooter, but transport is easily arranged and inexpensive. Amed is a very long stretched out town with no real town centre so in that regard, it doesn't really matter about the location like in other places. The menu is good, definitely favouring a Western palate but there is enough Indonesian if that is what you want. The meals and breakfasts we had there were very good, freshly made and served in a timely fashion. Recommend.

My family stayed at the Baliku Dive Resort for a few days as a stopover on our way to visit family in Australia. It's a bit of a drive away from the airport, but worth the extra driving. Amed is a stunning place and the Baliku was a fantastic place to stay and explore. The restaurant was great (my son became obsessed with the beef rendang, and my daughter is still jonesing for the mango lassis) - there are also some great warungs nearby for lovely local food. The location is brilliant - seconds away from the Japanese shipwreck which offers some of the best snorkeling in Bali, and with stunning views over Lombok, which was particularly great, as I was up at dawn with jetlag, and watching the sunrise was something I'll never forget. The rooms were large and comfortable, the infinity pool looking over the sea is gorgeous too, and the staff were delightful. A massive recommendation for a very affordable and still luxurious and gorgeous place. A great place to stay for a scuba diving tester (which we did), snorkelling on the coral, or for more established divers. Definitely recommend breaking up the journey back to the airport (Tirta Ganga is a great stop-off on the way) and making sure you allow plenty of time for the airport run to allow for the traffic.

Such a beautiful hotel, in a beautifully untouched part of Bali, Amed. As mentioned by other travellers, the rooms are very spacious, clean and with amazing view of the sea and sunrise. The cleanliness is something I particularly noted, the room, bedsheets and bathroom all very spotless. The bed was comfortable, covered by a mosquito net for protection (but was not an issue on this trip). The rest of the hotel, particularly the pool is beautiful. The staff were so friendly, accommodating and helpful. The food served at the hotel was excellent. Some delicious authentic Balinese cuisine as well as international dishes; all really fresh and tasty.
As a solo traveller I felt really safe here and would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to Amed. It is a little bit outside Amed, but in my opinion so worth it because you are set on the cusp of the mountains and the sea, observing the way the locals live.

My wife and I spent five idyllic days at the beautiful Baliku resort in Amed. The room was large, cool and spotless. It had a lovely bathroom with great shower and toiletries supplied. It also had a seperate room with kitchen sink, fridge, safe and plenty of storage for clothes, suitcases etc. The balcony was enormous with two day beds to lounge on reading or just to look out over the uninterrupted view of the Bali sea to the island of Lombok in the distance. Every morning we would watch the hundreds of brightly coloured fishing boats returning with their catch. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, organising diving trips, a scooter and car trips for us. The included breakfast was filling and delicious. We also ate dinner here several times. The food was fresh and very tasty. Beautiful pool and gardens. Very fast and reliable wifi. Best of all you can just walk across the road, dive into the sea and snorkel around the Japanese shipwreck, looking at the amazing coral and colourful fish. Stay here. You will love it.

This was our second visit to Baliku and for very good reason. The rooms are comfortable, great value for money and the hotel is just a stones through away from the famous Japanese ship wreck. The pool area is very Balinese and absolutely perfect for an evening drink whilst watching the sun set between mountains and the idiliic Bali sea.
I recommend this hotel if you want to experience a true Balinese escape.

We booked Baliku last minute for our week long holiday in Bali and boy aren’t we glad we came across this gem! Our main goal was to do some diving and have a relaxing holiday. We were met by the most friendliest and helpful staff, who arranged everything from transfers, to diving, private yoga and prepared some of the most delectable meals during our stay. We chose the top room which had 180 degree views of the ocean and mountain side. Being on the hill tho, would require some fitness to get to, but well worth it for the views and privacy. There are various other restaurants nearby, where we also tried out. The diving is pristine, and immaculate. Our dive guide Iju was super chilled and really helpful, he took us on some dive sites on the outrigger as well as organised hire of tanks where me and my partner completed several shore dives - just so easy to do and with very little fuss. We continued to extend out stay until it was time for us to head back home. I would like to extend my gratitude and thanks to the staff and owner Donna who’s hospitality has been exceptional. We are already planning our next trip back!

We were a group of 5, two couples and our twenty five year old daughter. This hotel is exceptional the rooms are romantic with Wonderful views and airy open spaces. Large bedrooms with queen size beds, and a beautiful outside space with divine day beds. Bathrooms you could live in and all spotless. The restaurant food is fresh exciting and delicious. We found the staff both warm and efficient most of them speak very good English. I strongly recommend Baliku, a place that lingers in you heart. I should also mention the beautiful swimming pool, and Baliku's closeness to fabulous coral, world class diving and snorkeling!

Baliku is a special place with wonderful, hospitable staff. The ocean and mountain views are absolutely stellar and simply cannot be captured by camera. We were even graced with a full moon, which just lit the entire ocean and provided us with an unbelievable backdrop for our delicious dinners on the balcony. The food is fantastic! We did have some plumbing issues that sadly, did not get resolved. This resulted in some pretty terrible smells in our villa, throughout our stay, putting a definite damper on things. We also had some issues with linen that did not smell fresh. Still, our time at Baliku was some of our most memorable in Bali. Yes, there are a lot of steps at the property but if you are somewhat fit, it is not a problem and absolutely worth the view. The staff even arranged for a very inexpensive full body massage on the balcony. Great snorkeling right across the street, at the site of the Japanese Shipwreck. Baliku sits above a village, so you will experience noise and goings on of the town, including the prayers on the intercom, as well as the smells and sounds of the farm animals. We appreciated being connected / immersed in this way. I will dream of this place and our time at Baliku always.

We spend almost one week to Baliku. The relation with Wayan, Nyoman et Ketut was like in a family. The villa is very calm and resting place, the menu to the restaurant very tasty. Nice snorkeling and diving spot just in the front of the hotel. And each morning, a breathtaking scenary with the fishermen coming bach home an early morning fishing: hundreds of coloured vailed boats at sunrise. Sure you will enjoy! And doing so, you will help the local economy to recover from 2 hard closing years.
