    This villa is located in a little slice of heaven just north of Tulamben village. It met every expectation. The design of the grounds was great with various spots to sit back and relax and enjoy the view. The bedrooms were spacious and the kitchen...

    Probably the best Villa that you will find in Bali. If you want to escape from routine and city noises, this place is the best one

    Lali Jiwa is beautiful. Everything you need and more. Location is fantastic, you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Only a 10 minute walk into Tulamben though. We saw a turtle while we snorkelled out the front as well as at Coral Gardens....

Lali Jiwa is a private, absolute beachfront villa on 1200m2 of tropical land in Tulamben, East Bali. Large, open living spaces and three bedrooms accommodates six people comfortably.   When you first enter the property, you’ll see a large, honey mango tree. The Balinese consider it special and call it “Lali Jiwa", which translates literally as "don't forget your heart/soul”.  That’s how the villa got its name. Located on the spectacular East coral coast, away from the hectic side of Bali, Lali Jiwa is the only independent, absolute beachfront villa in Tulamben.  It has a traditional Balinese feel being built  from teak and slate. Its elevated position allows for stunning views. Renovated and upgraded in 2021, with over 200 square metres of light-filled spacious accommodation surrounded by lush tropical gardens, plus an 8m x 4m infinity pool, the villa is all about embracing Bali’s laid back way of life.  It has uninterrupted ocean views from all over the property, extensive grassed areas, alfresco dining, large gazebo and many pockets to sit, relax and watch the glorious sunrises. It’s nestled away from busy roads, but close to everything you’ll need during your stay.
When you stay at Lali Jiwa, I will be your dedicated Manager, my name is Oka. I am responsible for the day-to-day running, and will be your go-to person for anything you want during your stay. I grew up in and around Tulamben and are passionate about the region - I know it and all of Bali very well. My team are on hand to help in any way to make your experience in the villa and Bali a great one. I can also drive you from the airport or, if you want to make your own way there, I will meet you on arrival. I'll provide you with the most relaxing, unforgettable stay where friendly smiles and courteous service is my priority. All staff are on call to tend to your every need.​ Feel free to ask questions or for suggestions. I have some good ideas about things to do and places to go as well as a few things to avoid. Particularly if you are first time visitor to Bali.
Tulamben is a quiet fishing village, but what lies beneath its sea makes it a destination for many people from around the world. Coral reefs are right in front of the villa and strung along the coastline, but it's main attraction sunk over 60 years ago. The USAT Liberty was torpedoed during WWII while crossing the Lombok Strait, making its way to Bali but breached off Tulamben and sank. It's among the best and most popular snorkeling and dive sites in Bali, even for beginners. It's lies just 30m off shore and starts at 5m deep. Much of the huge 125m long wreck can be seen from the surface. Travelling to Lali Jiwa from the airport, you will pass extensive rice paddies, monkeys in the wild, beautiful scenery, many attractions and see traditional Balinese life. A sign on the road, just north of the centre of Tulamben, clearly marks Lali Jiwa's location. Within a short walk, there are all the main services you'll need during your stay and nearby is an ATM, medical services, money exchange, many restaurants and a nearby morning market. Being away from the main tourist area, there are no hawkers. Tulamben is a wonderful place to base your holiday.
