Kalapa Resort And Spa

Before arriving, I was a little worried about the vibe here - their Instagram features a ridiculous amount of ‘influencers’ holding their best yoga poses by the pool. Kalapa was not like this at all! We were met at the airport by the driver who was very entertaining and easy going which made the journey to the resort during peak hour, way easier to deal with! Upon arrival, we were checked in seamlessly and escorted through the resort to our bungalow. Winding through the lush green gardens, we knew we had hit a jackpot. It is a very authentic and boutique resort, making it a quiet and relaxing setting for our stay. The pool areas are divine and our bungalow was nicely styled. The daily yoga classes held by Ayu, a Balinese yogi, were absolutely perfect and since we stayed during a not so busy season, I was lucky enough to have a private class with her when nobody else showed up! The restaurant is great and every morning we were greeted with warm smiles. Nearby is a Hindu temple and their beautiful Sanskrit chants can be heard at 6am. The spa is fantastic and highly recommended. We went out surfing and hired a scooter for the week and the commute from the resort to the beach isn’t too bad if you’re confident! There was a beautiful black puppy that hung out with us for our entire stay - the staff had named her Malika. Though I don’t believe she belonged to anyone, the dog was certainly adored by everyone who was also staying at the resort. We all hoped that perhaps the resort would adopt her so that she would greet us again when we return! All in all, we loved our stay at Kalapa and will definitely be back!

Absolutely beautiful authentic and luxury Bali resort. Canggu is very westernised so we enjoyed staying in this high quality beautifully designed Indonesian resort. We were amazed by the value for money compared to other hotels during our Indonesian holiday! We stayed in the Moksa 1 - room with private pool. It really made our stay, very private, gorgeous interior design and outdoor bathroom. We attended yoga every morning, the teacher was very good - I practice yoga and my boyfriend is learning. The Indonesian breakfast is delicious. Scooter hire is priced fairly direct from the hotel so in 10 mins you can get to echo beach and Canggu. The staff are incredibly helpful, the receptionist text me advice when our bags were lost by the airline. I would recommend this hotel in a heart beat! The only complaint - WiFi is intermittent but we weren’t bothered when on holiday.

It looked promising, a collection of villas set around extensive gardens and two pools. Our villa Samsara was huge. An old villa with secret wall that revealed an outdoor bathroom. It also had a hot tub / bath. Dinner in the restaurant was good as were the breakfasts. It went a bit downhill from there: the second night our villa had no water, not even for the loo. Much back and forth with reception and they eventually let us use another villa to go to the loo and have showers (after telling us initially that every room was full). They couldn't fix it, there was no one they could call and couldn't care less. As you can imagine it put a dampener on the stay and when we woke up the next day and we still didn't have water we were ready to move hotels. It came on for our last day. There was no compensation or consideration. The other thing that was that they decided to treat all the pools mid day while we and other guests were using them. We were asked to get out and then had to stay out of them for 4 hours, not that you would want to go in. There was also no signage so new guest who turned up pool side didn't know what was going on.

My friend Luca and I arrived at Kalapa late in the evening and have been welcomed warm- heartedly by the kind members of the staff. Our luggage was taken care of and we were guided to our Villa (Private Pool Villa). After having had a pleasant 8 hours of sleep in a cozy and soft king-sized bed we decided to take a morning refreshment in our private pool before heading out for a breakfast which included a variation of different dishes and drinks to choose from, as well as freshly cut fruits of which we ate as much as we wanted to. Later this morning it was time for some spiritual and sporty activities. Despite not having had much experience when it comes to yoga, it felt rather easy to adapt to the unfamiliar movements, also due to the very sweet and considerate (of my inability to do yoga) teacher we have been advised to. She was Balinese and made the experience very authentic and pleasantly challenging at the same time. For the rest of the day we decided to head out to Canggu city in order to have lunch and buy Christmas presents for our families. As Kalapa is located very centrally, we haven’t had any problems to make our way to the city (Kalapa provides a shuttle bus). Overall we have been very satisfied with our stay here at Kalapa and would highly recommend the resort to anyone who is seeking a both spiritual and authentic experience in the middle of Canggu!

It’s an absolutely stunning Resort! We stayed for 2 nights at the Private Pool Villa and it was amazing. We had our own Swimming Pool a fantastic bedroom and for me a really important factor. The Air conditioner worked perfectly. In general the rooms were super clean and beautiful. The stuff also friendly and if you need something they will help you directly. Highly Recommended!!!

Very nice and clean .The yard is beautiful and also thank you gusde the guest relation that was really helpful and very kind person, he gave us some suggestion like a good places and also he help us to rent a motor bike and arrange for our transportation to the airport gusde told us about the great time when I should be in airport n he gave us a free late check out and The others staff also very kindly. Maybe I will come back again later cause I love Bali

Absolutely stunning resort! Staff were fantastic, very friendly and attentive. Rooms were amazing, bed probably the most comfortable we’ve had in Bali. Facilities were perfect, feels like you’re not in Canggu but then again it’s just a short scooter ride to the main streets. Highly recommended!!

My boyfriend and I were last March in Kalapa for one week and we had an amzing experience. The place is a dream our room was huge in from of the smaller pool and it was very quite and beautiful. The service was perfect, polite and nice. We loved the breakfast, the tea time and the dinner. We highly recommend to stay in Kalapa

Myself and my partner stayed here for 2 nights and it was incredible. The rooms were clean and beautiful. Staff was friendly and lovely. We had a cute outdoor bath and private pool. Will definitely be back and will reccomend to friends :)

I cant speak enough about what an amazing experience my girlfriend and I had during our time in Bali, and kalapa only made it that much better. Some of the most genuinely nice people I have ever come across staffed the whole resort and it was just a 10 minute drive outside the hustle and bussel of inner city Canggu. The facilities and rooms were incredible and the restaurant located on the hotel premises was absolutely delicious. The staff was very eager to ensure that your stay was pleasant and were able to make a lot of last minute accommodations and schedule drivers/tours at convenient times for you. We ended up doing a Melukat Ceremony with one of the healers who worked at the hotel who drove us over an hour at 6AM to Tirta Empul temple just so that we would miss the entire influx of people that start pouring in in the morning time. We ended up being the only ones there until we were about to leave which made the experience that much more personal. Although we had only paid for the ceremony, our driver offered to stay with us the rest of the day! He drove us to multiple fun locations and showed us a lot of local cuisine that was far off the beaten path. I can’t say enough about how genuinely nice these people were and how much they appreciated and worked hard at doing even the most mundane of tasks. I am very grateful for my time at kalapa and would definitely return again.

Transportation prices are 2-3 times what you would pay with GoJek and they only offer drop off, so the shuttle service is not really a shuttle service but more of a taxi ordering service. The free shuttle only goes at 10am and 3pm. The yoga class at 11am makes no sense in terms of timing. Why would you schedule a yoga class in the middle of the day? Would be much better if this was at 8am or 9am, so guests can have breakfast afterwards instead of before. Plus if you’re planning to go into Canggu, you’re going to miss the class if you take advantage of the free shuttle. Unfortunately I also have to agree with comments on cleanliness and the issues with the rooms: very dark and lots of mosquitoes. Open bathroom looks cool but is impractical in many ways including mosquitoes and you can hear everything from the room next door. The wash basins have been positioned too far back making washing your face or brushing teeth very awkward. Service wise efficient in organising transport as requested (albeit at inflated prices), but otherwise not in line with the prices. The welcome spa treatment is a 10 min dry back massage over clothes. The massage itself was fine, but the spa is hidden away and looks like you’re walking into a boiler room. Better signage would help. Also I had to request a towel to be placed on the headpiece when the therapist asked me to lay down face down. Would have expected the bed to be prepared with that, regardless of whether it’s a 10 or 60 min massage, purely for hygienic reasons. Guests keep to themselves, no chat, mostly couples. During reservation they assumed multiple times I was booking for two people despite me specifying single occupancy in my original booking enquiry via their website. During my stay they kept asking ‘for how many’ at breakfast etc when I’m clearly there by myself. That’s just not necessary. Booking direct promised additional benefits but paying the deposit was a hassle. Despite putting credit card info through their site with my booking request, payment wasn’t taken and they asked for copies of my passport and credit card to take the deposit payment which I refused for data security reasons. Then had to arrange a bank transfer which was fine but needlessly complicated. Check out also took a bit too long for my liking, 15 minutes when there wasn’t anyone else there. One positive thing, I found the bed very comfy. I really wanted to love this place like someone else also said, but sadly won’t be returning. Would not recommend for solo travellers as it’s also too far out.

Delightful traditional jungle setting 5 minutes from the heart of Canggu. Kalapa Resort embodies conventional Balinese surroundings. Entering the premise is somewhat deceiving as you enter via a long driveway, however the end result is worth it as you arrive in the heart of the tropical oasis with lush manicured gardens and relaxing poolside cabanas. The resort is extremely peaceful and allows guest to unwind at their own leisure by the two pools, or simply enjoy one of the many yoga classes provided throughout the day. We were lucky enough to have our own private pool and superb outdoor bathroom which made us feel at one with nature. The spa is extremely tranquil and the services provided are extremely affordable. The perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle!
