Jali Resort

Jali Resort is a boutique hotel on Jl. Nautilus, a quiet side street in the northern part of the village, about three minutes' walk from the beach and close to the main strip without its noise. Rooms line a long pool, so you step straight out of your door into the water.

The rooms are spacious, clean and well air-conditioned, and many have distinctive open-roof bathrooms with outdoor showers. Breakfast is a highlight, with smoothie bowls and Indonesian options. The resort's restaurant, Jali Kitchen, is one of the highest-rated places to eat on the island, serving Indonesian, Thai, Malaysian and Indian dishes, and is popular with non-guests too.

Guests praise the service and practical extras such as free snorkelling masks, bike and e-bike hire arrangements and an affordable laundry service. It suits couples and friends who want a comfortable, central base at a sensible price. Book through the website or by email.
