Life in Amed is a fantastic place to spend time in the beautiful coastal paradise that is Amed. The food is fantastic and the cottages are beautifully designed and very clean. I was very well looked after and would only want to stay here when I eventually return to this lovely part of Bali.

I first chanced upon Life In Amed when it first opened over 15 years ago. This place served the best tasty and healthy food in East Bali while also offering other tasty and more decadent options too.

Its easy to see how the owner has kept on the ball and has constantly reinvested to keep everything in tip top condition and adding new and more interesting things on the menu too.

One of East Bali's hidden gems!

With our group of three adult couples, we made a three-week tour of Bali visiting all corners of the island and even taking the ferry to see and climb mount Ijen in Java. Looking back on this most memorable of vacations in my life, our stay at Life in Amed was the absolute highlight among many. We are Europeans married to Asians, and we have travelled a lot all over the world. Never have I been so impressed by the beauty of a country's nature, the warmth of the people, the spectacular scenery and the sophistication inherent to the Balinese culture and traditions. All this comes together at this gorgeous hotel where we stayed in three cottages surrounding the pool. The authenticity and beauty of the rooms - from the stunning carved doors to the natural stones used for the outdoor shower - makes you feel truly privileged and grateful to spend a relaxing time is such a wonderful oasis of calm and delight. The food is exquisite, the staff goes out of their way to make your stay unforgettable and the surroundings had us stunned at every corner with the lush flora and music from local festivities - not to mention the fabulous underwater decor of colour and wildlife during our scuba dives. Life in Amed for me has totally lived up to its promise, a romantic and tranquil place where we celebrated our “life” – love, joy, friendship, exhilarating tastes, with a background of sounds and views to never forget.
