The Villa was beautiful and the view stunning. Our 14m pool was great but I loved going to the resorts 34m pool - had it to ourselves every day. Our meals were all brought to the Villa - it is a peaceful & relaxing place.

We stayed 6 days & found the menu limited & expensive for Bali. The meals were ok but average for the price. For a shorter stay it would be fine. Breakfast was included & it was lovely. There is no where else to go for meals. We were happy we took some of our own snacks. The massages are 4 x the price in Seminyak - we still enjoyed the experience it was relaxing. They offer deep tissue massage but it is Balinese - still nice but be aware you may not receive the massage you are expecting.

This place was paradise and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect and individualised. The rooms were just stunning. Ocean view 2, where we stayed, had an infinity pool overlooking the vast ocean so private you felt as though you were the only people. I chose to propose to my partner here and the staff were so excited to be involved and helped co-ordinate an elaborate, secret and stunning proposal, complete with a candle light setting, rose petals and a truely magnificent outlook. The staff were unparalleled in their attention to detail, even setting up the appropriate cutlery for your meal you had ordered the day prior. The included breakfast was amazing - a three course breakfast that nourished the body, soul and tastebuds. The setting was a beautiful as the food. Looking out on the beautiful Bali ocean, it was picturesque. We were able to organise high quality massages on site and the staff helped organise day trips to nearby attractions. I could not fault our time in Shunyata, the best place we have ever stayed and we would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing and magical time away.

Where do we start! This was our first trip to Bali so we had no idea where the location of this hotel was all we knew it was a decent drive from Seminyak. WOW this was the most stunning location, hotel staff made us a feel like royalty. The food was amazing, our villa was superb. This is the place to go to unwind and relax! Although you need to drive to get to any entertainment there really isn't any need to go anywhere, the restaurant has a new menu on offer each day along with an extensive set menu, many dining options (in room, restaurant, pool side) we didn't even want to eat anywhere else. The hotel offers local drivers at competitive prices. We did a half day tour and spent the rest of the time soaking up the atmosphere and hotel grounds. We didn't want to leave! A really special place that is family owned, you can tell by the caring nature and friendliness of the hotel how much the area means to the family.

The Shunyata Villas completely met our very high expectation what we had, as this was the place to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. The location of the villas is perfect place to find the Bali, we had fallen in love with, 29 years ago, away from the nowadays bustling tourist spots like Kuta, Seminyak, Ubud, Kintamani etc. This is the place to find rest and relaxation to re-energize yourself. From the beginning to the end the staff did everything to let us feel comfortable and at home. The Sea Villa, in which we stayed, is spacious, comfortable, and well-designed. The villa was very clean, as the whole place shines white and bright. The private pool was of course the highlight of our stay (big with very fresh and clean water). We had all of our meals at the dining table in the villa, so we did not have to go out and could enjoy the place to the fullest. The food was good, freshly made, and served with a smile from the lovely restaurant staff. This was our 4th vacation in Bali and the Shunyata Villas is definitely the place to return, if we would go to visit Bali again. Just as we mentioned: Experience the real Bali - go to the Shunyata Villas - Sun and comfort in a luxury surrounding, presented with a smile.

We should have stayed longer than 3 nights.

We had a Ocean View villas with private pool. Amazing villa with the private pool and view on the ocean. Yes, you can see the ocean from your pool. Spacious bed. There is a bath and shower under the sky on this villa with hammock and shower and toilet under the roof but still outside. Please, be prepared if you are afraid of insects as they can brother you a bit while you are in the bath/toilet part of the villa. Breakfast/lunch and dinner can be in the restaurant or they will bring it (without extra charge) on your villa. Also, there is one floating breakfast option for free on your villa. Very long inciting pool (for all guests) - around 25m which is very good for swimming. There are in total around 7 villas and no kids. Very private, very calm. We have seen other guests several times and no one is bothering you. The hotel provides options for the tours with their private driver (600k-850k idr per day). The driver knows a lot and will explain a lot of interesting points, will show you some local things. Staff is great, very polite, understandable and even gave us mosquitoes spray during our stay (yes, they are many mosquitoes).

The hotel is quite far from everything including restaurants. Be prepared that the most of the time you will eat only in the hotel restaurant which does not have a big menu, but it was good especially breakfast. The beach is not for swimming (if you expect it)-there are very big stones and dangerous to go into the water. The massage was not a great, but okeish.

We loved the place for a couple of days of quiet time .It’s located on the cliff edge with amazing views We had the smaller villa under the restaurant which was the perfect size with a lovely view and very close to the incredible 36m infinity pool which is stunning Both days we had the pool virtually to our selves most of the day . You can choose to eat in your villa or the restaurant which has an incredible view Noah and his staff were all very helpful and friendly

Minor niggle but coffee needs improvement and the cocktail menu needs expanding using conventional spirits-hopefully being rectified by Noah

The food was fresh and healthy. We stayed for two weeks so were able to enjoy consistently good choice and preparation. This location is a little off the beaten track, away from the busy areas like Ubud and the airport. This suited us perfectly as our "workation" involved a mix of work and recuperation. I was born close to the sea so the sound of crashing waves and long ocean views was calming. The communal pool is large and rarely busy. The local cab drivers are informative and knowledgeable. This place is food for the soul and I strongly recommend it.

There is little that my wife and I would change. The beach is rocks and is mostly covered by the tide but there is a pristine sand beach only 30 minutes away. Dining options are also a little further away but we found plenty of choice on the menu offered by the villa restaurant.

We had a wonderful relaxing stay in this absolutely beautiful resort. We spent most of our time in our villa, enjoying the private pool and delicious 3-course meals delivered to the room. The staff were very friendly and professional. The food and drinks were fresh and tasty, with many healthy options and highlighting local ingredients. I booked in a few massages, which were enjoyable. We took a half day tour to visit some nearby attractions (water palace, coffee plantation and rice terraces). Transport was easy to arrange via the resort management team. The drive from the airport or central Bali is well worth it. Would highly recommend this special place to any couple looking for a peaceful or romantic getaway.

My wife & I were looking for a quiet holiday away from the hustle & bustle of the big Bali resorts, and Shunyata villa's delivered everything we could have hoped for. The staff were fantastic, always helpful and friendly but never pushy. The amenities covered everything we needed , particularly the main infinity pool, but also the comfortable bed & the AC, which allowed us to sleep comfortably despite the temperature. The other high was the food which you could have in the villa or the restaurant,the choice was varied and the quality was excellent.in fact our favourite time of day was eating breakfast on our patio, and enjoy the amazing view( we stayed in Sky Villa). I didn't try, but my wife loved the Spa options available, which are great value. Just to be clear, we loved our time there and it was exactly what we wanted but there is NO nightlife in the locality.

The safe...I couldn't figure out how to get it to work...though to be fair, we didn't ever bother locking the door

From the first moment we felt welcome. Beautiful quiet and relaxing environment without crowds of tourists is exactly what we were looking for. Nice and polite staff. It will fulfill everything you need. The food was very good at a high level and fresh fish. If we couldn't find something on the menu, all we had to do was write on whats up and the wish was fulfilled. They also offer fantastic massages. We have had several of them and Ayurveda is among the top. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back.
