Indiana Kenanga Boutique Hotel & Spa

I have to say I was slightly hesitant to book based on very mixed reviews of this hotel, but I'm pleased to say I needn't have worried! It was my absolute favourite property of the whole Bali trip - it's absolutely stunning, the beach front location for gorgeous sunset, lovely food, very attentive staff, gorgeous villas and perfectly positioned just off a high street with many other cafes, bars, restaurants to try whilst on your trip! Yes - the menu is on a pricier side, but it is to be expected from a high end property - and there is plenty of other options nearby if you don't want to spend every night at the hotel. I would highly recommend this hotel, and hoping I will be able to come back again! Loved it, and wouldn't have faulted anything!

Fantastic location, right on the beach, a number of beds reserved just for residents which was a nice touch. The rooms were clean, spacious had a private garden. Breakfast wasn’t included but we ate there once and it was decent. The only negative (which is personal preference) is that the room had a very strong scent. The hotel asked housekeeping not to use the spray again but it was still evident in the room.

Such a lovely hotel with your own private garden area Large room and great shower area. Clean and comfortable Location is great as it’s right next to a beach. The sea was really choppy but quietened down later in day Lots of rocks at beginning of sea so best to wear protective shoes The only let down was the breakfast It really was not good so I cancelled the breakfast and ate elsewhere You can hire bikes cheaply to get around the island or visit other areas and lembonkan is an idyllic location to stay

We took the Sekar Jaya Fast Boat from Kasumba to Jungut Batu beach. Indiana Kenagan Boutique Hotel is located in central Jungut Batu right on the beach. You will need transport from the ferry taxi (mini trucks are used) which will cost IDR100,000. The hotel reception is about 50m down a narrow path way and then onto the villas. This means no road noise from motor bikes.  The Spa area has a larger pool and then another 70m to the second pool, restaurant and beach.  The villas are air conditioned with high thatched roof and very tastefully done. Super king sized beds, a little firm for me, but still comfortable. Super sized bathroom and shower. We stayed 5 nights but only got hot water on the first day. Not a problem when in the tropics ☺️ We got a trundle bed in the room for our adult sized 12 year old.  It is a laid back atmosphere and music whilst relaxing by the pool or beach.  We arranged to go on a snorkeling tour through the reception. We had a private boat 'Safari' which left from the beach directly out the front of the hotel. IDR800,000 for 3-4 people. Our boat captain was Wayan who was lovely.  It only took about 15 minutes to get out to Mangrove Point. From the moment we jumped in to the crystal clear waters we were in a spectacular wonderland of colourful corals and abundant fish life. It had a current so we could drift along without effort. Then the tide changed and we could drift along in the other direction. We live in Cairns and snorkel on the Great Barrier Reef and have been doing some incredible diving here in Amed, Tulamben, Manta Point and Crystal Bay and were very impressed by this snorkelling experience.  We took a taxi over to Mushroom Bay where we stayed last July cost IDR150,000 each way. You can snorkel straight off the beach, but unfortunately the visibility was not good and there were cold currents so we didn't stay in the water for long. The staff at Indiana Kenanga are very sweet and accommodating.  There are lots of restaurants and warungs around the hotel, but be sure to grab a drink in a beanbag or bed on the beach at sunset. We loved our stay at this property and would definitely recommend it.

It is very nice located , beautiful restaurant and the food honestly was amazing . We had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and weren’t disappointed at all. We loved the food. Great location too. The rooms ,unfortunately was not good. Too old and worn out.need a completely refreshing,we had villa with the pool, didn’t even go once in the pool. Not very clean. But we had a great stay anyway because of the location and the good food.

The hotel is beautiful and the staff are friendly but the restaurant is a let down. We have been going to Nusa for 10 years and Indiana was out fave restaurant on the island back when it was managed by the french chef Clement. Now the food is very average, so much so, we actually ate mostly at Ohanas a few steps down from the hotel. At Indiana our beer was warm & they offered ice?! The accomodation was very nice though.
