ALAS ARUM ECOLODGE is the fulfilment of a dream.
The dream of a Balinese man, Bapak Ketut Sadia, a native of Krambitan, West Bali. He was eager to do something for his hometown. Then he dreamt to create this little hideway in his village to welcome visitors willing to discover the real Bali and its age-old natural way of life, while helping to preserve its traditional cultural heritage, giving job opportunities to the local community and minimizing impact to the environment through practicing sustainable tourism. He was helped to implement this beautiful project by his wife Agnes, a former ethnology researcher, also strongly committed to social, cultural and environmental issues.
He designed himself the accomodations and created beautiful tropical garden surroundings as a natural shrine for this little gem. We started to build the place in 2018 and ALAS ARUM eventually opened its doors in March 2019.
A very beautiful place, a work of love, with exceptional service, food, staff, and atmosphere. This place is serene, peaceful, beautiful, kind-hearted, and delightful. A gem!
An amazing place to relax, take a stroll in this quiet corner of Bali… The rooms are incredible Javanese houses with outdoor bathrooms, I love them. The pool is a great place to unwind.
We have stayed at this place twice. And never two without three, four, five, and more… In fact, it’s a big favorite not only for us but also for our guests. Staying in Bali can no longer be done without going there. The place is perfect, and the service is very attentive. The surroundings are truly amazing. Sadia and Agnes will guide you there, explain it to you along with its customs and traditions… they will passionately tell you about this country. Rooms 20/20, catering 20/20, service 20/20, hospitality 20/20, for me it’s perfect
I stayed at the ecolodge for two days and one night. I felt comfortable relaxing by the pool in the middle of the lush garden area and the rice fields planted around the place, especially during sunset. I also greatly appreciate the pro-local and eco-friendly tourism idea they promote, for example, using refillable glass bottles instead of plastic bottles or using local products in their breakfast menu. Most of the staff speak basic English and are happy to interact.
Agnès and Sadia welcomed us to this latest Javanese-style ecolodge. The bed was excellent. Breakfast was delicious, and so was dinner. We lacked nothing. The staff was very friendly and considerate. We were able to enjoy a bike tour in the area as well as a walk through the rice fields, all organized by Agnès. Highly recommended.
I stayed for 2 nights at this magnificent ecolodge. Agnès and Sadia, the French-Balinese couple, are very welcoming hosts. The spacious rooms are spread across 4 magnificent wooden chalets (Joglo). The bed was excellent, the outdoor bathroom, perfect cleanliness, and the breakfast and food were outstanding. What is also commendable is their effort to develop tourism that respects the environment and local traditions
Yes, Bali, I have loved you for almost 21 years now, and I never tire of discovering you… So, speaking of discoveries, I made one this summer by going to this ecolodge: ALAS ARUM, run by the Balinese-French couple Agnès and Sadia, who are deeply integrated into Sadia’s village, giving a different color to our visit. Indeed, Agnès’ deep knowledge of Balinese culture and her Balinese husband made our stay at this magical place an unforgettable moment.
An amazing lodge – a guesthouse with excellent service. Rooms – Food – cooking classes – cycling in the Balinese countryside and walking through the rice fields: top-notch! And the great relationships as well as rich cultural exchanges! Suksma (thank you).
Our best experience in Bali. Alas Arum Ecolodge is a peaceful little paradise away from the crowds… Agnes and Sadia are a real source of information, and the staff is attentive. The pool is a great added bonus for cooling down. We took a Balinese cooking class and visited the prince’s palace. They also offer table d’hôtes, and it was amazing! Go there with your eyes closed if you want an authentic experience!
We started our Indonesian journey at Alas Arum Ecolodge. We immediately felt at home and forgot about jet lag. The staff couldn’t be friendlier. The food is great with a super chef. And Sadia, the owner, is an excellent host.
A touching welcome in a charming bungalow with all the comforts, high-quality beds, all set in a magnificent garden. The place also offers table d’hôtes with delicious dishes. 4 bungalows accommodate a maximum of 8 people. A very pleasant experience.
A building consisting of 4 bungalows in a green setting. Very large rooms with showers facing the stars. An extremely warm welcome in French and excellent service. The dishes served at dinner are varied and delicious. I recommend it.
