It’s located within the small village of Bondalem and is completely surrounded by coastline and jungle. Some of their conservation initiatives include ending aquarium poaching and village bird shooting. If you want to see the work they’ve done for the coral reefs, you can join their scuba diving class!
With its waterfalls, hot springs, forest and ocean, the Villa Selina Eco Resort is bursting with all forms of life. Here, the exotic energy of Bali is truly intoxicating and will leave you aching for a another visit the moment you check out.

No trip to Bali is really complete without attempting to surf the incredible beach waves. Pondok Pitaya, uniquely located on the edge of a natural volcanic black sand beach and cliff, offers the ideal atmosphere for anyone looking to get their adrenaline pumping and catch some waves.
Each bungalow is reconstructed from teak wood and boat wood from indigenous houses imported from Java that date back all the way from the 1930s. No two bungalows look the same. Apart from the usual rooms, Pondok Pitaya Hotel also includes Surfer Suites and large houses that can sleep up to 8 people—perfect for you and the whole gang!
