I was looking for a quiet place to stay after coming out of a retreat, and Astana Swaha was the perfect place. Its quiet, remote and right next to nature. I booked the honeymoon suite which had a brick wall interior, and the windows were large and open into the jungle. The morning sun shines into my room, and the sounds of the river below is a constant companion. The pool deck is a wonderful place to hang out, I never got tired sitting outside and soaking in the view. The property faces the east and the terrace gets the warm morning sun. The owners Gusti and Ayu were wonderful hosts who made sure I had everything I needed. I think for some people the remoteness might be a problem but for me, it was perfect. If I wanted to be picky, the bathroom did not have natural ventilation but I just left the door open after use and it’s not a problem. There can also be ants and other small insects but it’s all part of staying very close to nature. The guesthouse is a simple and basic set up, you should bring your own toiletries if you prefer, otherwise I’m sure you can get it from a nearby shop. Bring your own mat if you’d like to do some yoga on the terrace. The wifi can sometimes be unstable but that’s expected in remote places. It’s a magical, quiet, tranquil place that I’ll love to go back again.
