Abian Ayu Villa

Just loved our stay at Abian Ayu which we booked directly with them. We had a room with our own small pool and garden area looking out over the rice fields. Breakfast in our room each day, nothing was too much trouble. Very relaxing and the staff were amazing, big thank you to them all. Piani made a lovely margherita. We have stayed in sideman several times now, before it was the Samanvaya but this time we thought we would try somewhere different which we were recommended and we were not disappointed. We will be back. Thank you everyone.

I enjoyed Abian Ayu. It is a beautiful property on the hillside in Sideman. Most rooms face Mount Agung, so there are lovely morning views. There’s a beautiful infinity pool near the restaurant and a great massage spa (thank you girls). It’s a little steep and terraced down the hillside but this makes it charming and picturesque. Due to a mis understanding I ended up in a standard room for 2 nights which was just ok. The staff are super helpful and friendly although at times seem understaffed. The food is quite good (breakfast is lovely). There are other nearby restaurants and there are some scenic drives if you rent a scooter. It really is a beautiful quiet part of Bali that should not be missed. I think they should consider mattress protectors & new linens. The property is priced well for what it delivers although the standard room was very average and I had no hot water. Wifi is also hit & miss but probably more due to location. Lastly, housekeeping should not leave rooms to service until 4pm, no excuses! It’s too late.

magic view, magic staff who couldn't be more helpful. A beautiful part of Bali away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist strips. Will be back there again in 2023. There are heaps of short trips on bike or by car to enjoy the great scenery.
