Arma Museum & Resort

The setting at Arma is simply stunning. Huge tropical gardens and the added bonus of a river and an art gallery. We stayed in the ‘family’ villa which is actually two adjoining 1 bedroom villas with a private pool, and the rooms were phenomenally luxurious and beautiful. It was like a private slice of jungle paradise, but just within walking distance of great restaurants and the monkey forest

the breakfast had a very good varity to choose from the area was nice inside but to go outside close by the sidewalk was very dangerous and uneven and traffic was very bad to try to cross street there was a very nice supermarket across the road if you can cross was the problem the nature beauty around was like a paradise the museum has beautiful art by balinese painters and many culitural programs to participate and workshops to learn about balinese culture seeing the ducks in the morning in the rice fields and the lotus ponds

From the moment we checked in we loved everything about Arma Resort and Museum. The staff are extremely friendly, even the owner who you may inconspicuously bump into somewhere on the grounds, he was SO FRIENDLY! The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Even just engaging in conversations with them was awesome. Our room was an oasis, we got exactly what we wanted with our stay. We never really heard any other visitors unless they happen to be loud, which no one was. I loved that we could walk around the grounds and open-air museum. I took advantage of a massage at the spa and it was wonderful. The masseuse was accommodating and incredibly sweet, I just feel bad I never went back to get some aloe vera from her as we were busy that last day ( I had a bad sunburn) The pool was conveniently located next to the spa so you could just lounge in that area. I loved that artists were on-site at the museum portion. You can stop and have a chat with a few of them. The hotel can set up wood carving, dancing classes, and small tours upon request. You'll have a sheet with all that information in the hotel room. We were able to catch two dances while there, Legong and Kecak dances. It felt like we were immersed in another world! The breakfast was great, it was a little bit of Indonesian food and then western food but they catered to everyone. All in all, I would come back here, and I would refer our friends to this destination. It's a great learning environment, I love that we were assisting the Arma Foundation with our stay and assisting in keeping Balinese culture alive. It made the stay that much better!

Lovely traditional hotel, living the culture of Bali, mixed with modern design but keeping the Balinese style. The rooms are facilitated with love to details. My room supplied more than shower gel, like tooth brush and tooth past, racer, cotton pads and the like. There is a bottle opener built in to the wall. The shower in my room was separate to the WC. The set up and decoration of the room was made with love for arts. There was lots of space for storage, even a place for the kettle and cups inside the draw. The balcony overlooks the very nice pool and the lovely garden that is right next to the rice field and paths for walking through the resorts wider areal. I just loved it. Who loves culture, music and nature will most likely be at the right place here. The museum is enclosed. The resort was holding a Charity Live Music Concert at their open stage which was well organised and received. I also tried the hotels cuisine, excellent. I felt a professional handling and customer service of old school which I very much appreciated.

Stunning grounds with lush greenery and peaceful nooks and crannies. Lovely staff who were very helpful. Our private villa was delightful, with plenty of space and a wonderful pool.
