THE MAHALANI - Two Villas

We are a Danish family of 10 persons with grandparents, children and grandchildren. We started the plans for this holiday in 2017, and The Mahalani here at Bali became the answer on our holiday dream. We traveled from the cold winter in Denmark to Bali with 30 degrees, a wonderful tropical climate and the perfect start on our holiday. The Mahalani is a wonderful oasis and we have met a team of staff which have treated us in the best possible way and have shown us some of Bali's very special culture. We could not have wished for more, and we thank you for lending us your wonderful place. Best regards from the Jacobsen Family from Denmark.

Thank you, Jacobsen family, for staying with us! We thoroughly enjoyed sharing our paradise with you all and allowing you to experience Bali's culture and climate first hand. We are looking forward to your return! -- The Team at The Mahalani

The Mahalani is the perfect place to your Bali holiday. We were a family on 10 people visiting The Mahalani for 2 weeks, and it is a place suitable for all family members from children to grandparents. There is lots of space where all have their own room and their own bathroom. The staff is very service minded and will help you with everything you need. The place is so clean and beautiful everywhere and the food is fantastic! We enjoyed bathing in the pool and the ocean. The sea view from all over the garden is beautiful, and it is the perfect place to relax and just enjoy being together. Julie and Tripp is the perfect hosts, and before our visit they had arranged that all was ready for us. A driver picked us up in the airport and when we arrived to The Mahalani the staff was ready to welcome us and had the dinner ready for us. All was just perfect and you have to give The Mahalani a visit.

Kasper - thank you for writing such a detailed review about your stay. It brings smiles to our faces knowing that your family got to experience the pool and the ocean as much as you all did. We would be honored to host your family again. -- The Team at The Mahalani

Staying at The Mahalani was effortless. I definitely recommend the airport transfer. The resort in on the north coast of Bali and is a trek up and over the island. It was so nice to have Gede holding a sign with our name on it and taking care of everything as soon as we exited customs. The theme of “taking care of everything” continued throughout the entire week. Kadekie, the guest manager, and her fabulous team made sure we didn’t have to worry about anything. This is the first vacation where I immediately felt so relaxed, even after over 30 hours of travel. Normally, it takes me almost a full week to decompress. Since we were in a neighborhood setting, we were able to participate in some of the local culture. And, arranging drivers for excursions outside of our little slice of paradise was an easy conversation with Kadekie. The nicest thing was that everything arranged through Kadekie was just put on the tab, and we were able to settle up via credit card at the end of our stay. It’s a little thing, but was so convenient to not have to worry about having the right amount of Rupiah every day. The experience was top notch and I would recommend Mahalani for anyone looking to relax and enjoy all that Bali has to offer. One thing to be aware of: getting around the island is time consuming. The airport is about 65 miles away, but is a 3 hour (or more) trip on mostly two lane roads with lots of traffic and switchbacks. A “quick trip” to Ubud for shopping and exploring can easily be a day trip. The location on the north shore was perfect for us, but it did mean our excursions were day trips, back in time for dinner. And, we didn’t go all the way to the south shore. Just something to be aware of. Absolutely fabulous. Already have plans to come back!

Mary, thank you for leaving us this detailed review! We love to hear that our guests immediately felt relaxed, especially after their long travels. One of our main goals is to make sure that everything is taken care of for our guests and for things to be made as simple and easy as possible. We have to agree with you on how our villa is a bit of a drive away from a lot of the big attractions, including the airport, but our remote location is part of what gives you the feeling of complete immersion and a vacation away from the big city hustle. They are planning to build an airport that is significantly closer to our villa, so that should help cut down the drive time. Maybe they'll have it built by the time you come and visit us again. :) -- The Team at The Mahalani

The peaceful location, the lush grounds, and the beautiful views can only be topped by the amazing staff. Not a single detail needed to be thought of and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I came for Thanksgiving week and the team prepared an amazing feast for us. This week was a preview for a retreat I am hosting this coming summer. It exceeded my expectations and I am counting the days until I can return. Thanks so much for everything!!

Thank you, Mary, for leaving us another review! Our staff loved being a part of your Thanksgiving are grateful that you chose to come to spend it with us. We are looking forward to your return for your retreat as well.-- The Team at The Mahalani

Thank you to the staff at The Mahalani, everybody was so friendly and provided an excellent service with great food in an excellent location. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this villa to everybody. For me I would rate it a 10 out of 10. It was also great to relax by the pool and walk along the beach. With love, Geoff and Luh

Thank you for leaving us a review! We would be ecstatic to host you again and we welcome you back anytime. -- The Team at The Mahalani
