Santai Hotel is located on the East coast of Bali, in verdant tropical gardens and with Mount Agung rising in the background. It is a 60 minutes drive North of Candi Dasa and just over two hours from Denpasar International Airport.

The word 'Santai' means relax and that is just what you can do here. The drive to Santai Hotel is picturesque and takes you along the coastline, through local villages, alongside rice fields and close to many places of interest. The Amed coastal area itself is off the beaten track and is a delight to explore either on foot, by motorcycle or car.
Transfers are available from Denpasar or any other location in Bali in our comfortable air-conditioned vehicles.

ABOUT THE SANTAI HOTEL
Santai Hotel has six individual Indonesian style bungalows, three Ocean View and three Garden view. In addition there are four room units which follow same theme than bungalows.

We describe Santai Hotel as a boutique hotel that caters for the traveller who wants to get away from it all and stay in 'local' high quality resort accommodation with the comforts of home.

The detached bungalows and the rooms are built in the Sulawesi style with thatched roofs and local timbers. We have where possible used local natural materials to create a Balinese ambience. The bungalows, fishponds, restaurant, and 16-metre architect designed swimming pool are surrounded by lush green gardens, full of the fragrances of frangipani and flowers of the East.

For those quiet times you can relax in the gardens under the shade of the pagoda and read a book from our library or just watch the ocean gently lapping the shore.

THE BUNGALOWS AND ROOMS
Simplicity is the key to the understated elegance of the rooms. Each bungalow and room is individually furnished and decorated using hand made products from local villages.

The three Ocean View bungalows are slightly larger than the Garden view bungalows. Otherwise all have the same floor plan and facilities including mini bars.

Each bungalow has a large front deck with comfortable lounge sofas and chairs, just right for having breakfast on or taking an afternoon snooze.
There is sleeping accommodation for four people, with either a large double or queen size four poster bed on the ground floor and a double or twin beds in the open plan mezzanine loft style room upstairs.
The 'open air' style bathrooms give you exotic feeling while providing all the needed amenities including hairdryer. All the bungalows have individually controlled air-conditioning.
The individual rooms are located in two buildings behind the bungalows. They follow the same style than bungalows and are spacious enough for two to three persons.

THINGS TO DO IN THE AREA
Most of the major attractions on the Island are accessible on a day trip, but more often than not we find that once visitors arrive in Amed they don't want to leave its peace and tranquility. No tourist shops, No beach sellers!

Mystic Hindu temples abound, from large and ornate, to the simpler village style and they can be visited at any time. Although it is best to make the most of it and go when there are ceremonies going on.
The Balinese are a very friendly and love to invite foreigners along to their special occasions.

The local reef and dive sites are among the very best on the island with the unique pygmy seahorses and many other indigenous sea life and they offer a variety of choices from diving down to a wrecked ship about 20 minute's drive away to walking out 10-metres from the beach in front of the hotel to swim and snorkel with a multitude of colorful tropical fish.

Eco-Dive-Bali located close to Santai Hotel, offers full tuition and equipment for beginners through to experienced divers.

The 'Aga' village is the oldest and only one of its kind in Bali and is 60 minutes drive from the hotel. Visitors can see the unique lifestyle of the villagers who now make their living from producing and selling magnificent double woven Ikat and basketwork.
