The Menjangan

The Menjangan is a secluded nature sanctuary nestled within 382 hectares of the West Bali National Park, making it the largest resort in this protected area. Positioned on Bali’s northwestern coast, it is a world apart from the island’s bustling south, offering a “luxury on the wild side” experience. The resort is designed to blend seamlessly into the forest and coastal landscape, providing a quiet hideaway where guests can reconnect with nature in its most authentic form.

Rooms & Accommodation

The resort offers three distinct accommodation experiences spread across its vast grounds. The Monsoon Lodge is tucked away in the forest, featuring 14 Deluxe Rooms and Suites centered around a tranquil pool and hot tub—perfect for spotting deer and monkeys from your patio. For those seeking the ocean, the Beach Villas are traditional Javanese Joglo-style wooden cottages situated just steps from the sand. For ultimate privacy, The Residence is a massive 1,000-square-meter private clifftop estate with three bedrooms, a private pool, and a dedicated butler, offering sweeping views of the sea.

Dining

Dining at The Menjangan is defined by unique locations and fresh flavors. The Bali Tower Bistro is a remarkable five-story structure made from massive logs, where guests can dine among the treetops with 360-degree views of the national park and the mountains. Down by the water, the Pantai Restaurant specializes in fresh seafood and charcoal-grilled dishes, with seating on an over-water deck or in private gazebos hidden within the mangroves. For a more relaxed vibe, the Azur Bar offers sunset cocktails and “barefoot” relaxation on the beach.

 Facilities

The resort’s facilities are designed to immerse guests in the environment. The Mangrove Spa offers traditional Balinese massages and reflexology in open-air gazebos right on the shoreline. The iconic Bali Tower serves as the heart of the resort, housing the lobby, a library, and observation decks. Guests also have access to two swimming pools—one at the Monsoon Lodge and another by the beach—along with a PADI-certified dive center and a horse stable for exploration.

Activities

Given its location in a national park, activities focus heavily on wildlife and adventure. Guests can take a boat trip to Menjangan Island, renowned for having some of Bali’s best snorkeling and wall diving. On land, the resort offers guided forest trekking, birdwatching (home to the rare Bali Starling), mountain biking, and horseback riding through the jungle and along the beach. For a slower pace, kayaking through the calm waters of Bajul Bay allows for a peaceful exploration of the mangrove inlets.

Sustainability & Community

As a “Lifestyle Retreats” property, The Menjangan operates with a deep commitment to its “Conscious Hospitality” pillars. The resort minimizes its environmental footprint by using reclaimed wood, banning single-use plastics, and implementing comprehensive recycling and energy-saving initiatives. Socially, the resort is a vital part of the local ecosystem, employing almost its entire staff from nearby villages and supporting regional education and conservation projects to ensure the national park remains protected for future generations.
