Indonesian Paradise Found: Dua Bidadari Villas' Unbelievable Views!
Indonesian Paradise Found: Dua Bidadari Villas - My Brain's Still in Bali (And Yours Will Be Too!)
Okay, let's be real. I just got back from Dua Bidadari Villas, and my brain is still sun-drenched and sipping a Bintang. This place… it’s not just a hotel; it’s a vibe. Forget your usual cookie-cutter resort experience! Dua Bidadari is like stumbling upon your own personal Balinese paradise, and let me tell you, it’s addictive. Prepare to have your Instagram bombarded with envy-inducing shots.
The Views: Seriously, Unbelievable.
Let’s start with the obvious: the views. They’re not just "nice." They're whoa-moments that hit you right in the soul. We're talking lush green hills cascading down to the ocean, the infinity pool blurring with the sky, and sunsets that turn the entire world into a vibrant canvas. I swear I saw a rainbow inside the pool one afternoon. (Okay, maybe I'd had a few too many cocktails at the poolside bar, but still!) Every corner of the villa seemed designed to capitalize on the scenery, and even just the basic things such as the shower has a window to a nice view.
Accessibility: Navigating Paradise (and My Awkward Self)
Now, a confession: I’m not exactly the most graceful person. I trip over air. Therefore, facilities for disabled guests were a MAJOR plus. (And I’m not even disabled! Just… clumsy.) There’s an elevator, which is a LIFESAVER with the hills. While I didn't personally test the full extent of the accessible features, the thoughtful touches gave me confidence, and it made me feel like the resort would be great for all kinds of people.
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe Enough to Actually Relax
Listen, in these times, CLEANLINESS matters. A LOT. I saw professional-grade sanitizing services being used everywhere, and there was daily disinfection in common areas. The staff are clearly trained on safety protocols, the anti-viral cleaning products are used everywhere. The whole place felt impeccably clean, making it easy to kick back and actually enjoy the moment. They even have sanitized kitchen and tableware items in case you cook in your villa, which is a genius move. The hand sanitizer stations were plentiful. I was impressed.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Bali Belly? Not Here! (Thank God)
The food! Oh. My. God. Where do I even begin? The Asian breakfast, the Western cuisine in restaurant, the A la carte in restaurant, and the vegetarian restaurant. All amazing. The poolside bar… well, that became my second home. They had a happy hour that would make even the most jaded traveler crack a smile. (Seriously, two-for-one mojitos? Sign me up!) The bottle of water was perpetually refilled. Food. Glorious food. And the service? Impeccable. You can also get room service [24-hour], and for a lazy glutton like myself, it was a godsend.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: From Zen to Zany
This place is a relax-a-thon. They totally get that. The spa is a must-visit! The massage was pure heaven. I got a body scrub that left my skin feeling like silk, and the Foot bath was just what I needed after a day of exploring. The Spa/sauna and steamroom all also made for moments of pure relaxation, even though they weren't the typical spa.
They even have a fitness center, if you're into that kinda thing (I’m more of a "walk-to-the-bar" kind of fitness enthusiast, but hey, they got it!). You can have a pool with a view, and actually swim in it! Plus, I just love how the pool is open 24 hours, since I'm a night swim enthusiast.
Services and Conveniences: They Thought of EVERYTHING (Almost)
The Concierge was amazing, super helpful, and the dry cleaning came in handy after I splattered coconut curry all over my shirt (oops!). Daily housekeeping kept everything spotless, and the luggage storage was a lifesaver on check-out day. They have car park and car park [free of charge], so you don't have to worry about finding a place to park your car. And there's a convenience store if you run out of your favorite snacks (which, let's be honest, will happen).
The facilities for disabled guests have already been mentioned, but it's worth repeating: they really prioritize making the place feel inviting to everyone. They even offer airport transfer if you don't want to deal with the hassle.
Rooms: Your Private Sanctuary (With a View, Naturally)
The rooms… well, picture this: Air conditioning, Air conditioning in public area – essential in Bali, trust me - a super comfy bed, a seating area perfect for watching the sunset, and a killer view from your window. And the details? They make all the difference. Bathrobes, slippers, complimentary tea and coffee, free bottled water, plus a hair dryer. You’ll be ready to be in paradise in minutes. The Wi-Fi [free] worked perfectly (thank god!), but they also have Internet access – LAN if you're a digital nomad or need it for work. And I loved the additional toilet, so convenient when sharing a room! The mirror was also a plus, because a girl's gotta get ready!
For the Kids (And the Kid in You)
Although I don't have kids, the family/child friendly atmosphere was very apparent. They offer babysitting service, and there are tons of options for having your kids happy.
Internet & Connectivity: Staying Connected (But Mostly Disconnecting)
Let's face it: we all need to stay connected sometimes. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! This place gets it. I could easily upload my Instagram stories of the amazing sunsets, but I was too busy losing myself in the moment. They also have Internet Services, Internet [LAN], Wi-Fi in public areas if you need to work.
Getting Around: Making Life Easy
The car park [free of charge] is a massive convenience. They also have taxi service. Super helpful with the valet parking, too.
My (Slightly Rambling) Conclusion:
Dua Bidadari Villas isn’t just a place to stay; it's an experience. It's about that moment when you take your first deep breath of Balinese air, surrounded by beauty and tranquility. Okay, maybe a little tranquility. I mean, I did have a spontaneous dance party at the poolside bar one night… but the point is, it's a place where you can be yourself, unwind, and be totally pampered.
Oh, and the imperfections?
Honestly? I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Maybe the music at the bar was a little loud one night. And maybe, just maybe, I overindulged in the amazing food. But that’s it. This place is close to perfect.

Bali's Most Luxurious 5-Bedroom Villa: Your Dream Escape Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups! This isn't your glossy brochure itinerary. This is the REAL DEAL, the messy, glorious, sometimes-slightly-panicked, and hopefully hilarious account of my time at Dua Bidadari Villas & View in Kebonkacang, Indonesia. Prepare for some emotional whiplash. And apologies in advance for the potential typos – I'm running on Balinese coffee and pure adrenaline.
Dua Bidadari: My Chaotic Paradise - A Diary of Delights and Disasters
Day 1: Arrival of the Slightly-Unbalanced Tourist
- 1:00 PM: Arrival at Denpasar Airport (DPS). Oh. My. God. The heat. It hits you like a wall. I'm already sweating through my "I
Bali" t-shirt. Which, in retrospect, might have been a bold fashion statement. Airport chaos ensues – passport control, money exchange (where I inevitably get ripped off a little… it's a rite of passage, right?), and navigating the taxi mafia. Pray for me. - 2:30 PM: Taxi ride to Dua Bidadari. The driver, a charming if somewhat reckless man named Wayan (everyone’s Wayan in Bali, apparently), takes me on a tour of the local traffic. It's a symphony of honking, scooters weaving like drunken bees, and the constant threat of a rogue chicken crossing the road. I grip the seat with white knuckles and contemplate the meaning of life. And maybe getting travel insurance.
- 4:00 PM: FINALLY, Dua Bidadari! The photos lied – in the best possible way! This isn't just a villa, it's a jungle paradise. The air smells of frangipani and… well, generally, of bliss. My villa has a private pool. A PRIVATE POOL! I’m pretty sure I shed an actual tear. The view… oh, the view. Rolling hills, lush greenery, and that impossibly blue sky. I’m officially in love.
- 4:30 PM: The Great Pool Debacle. I leap (gracefully, of course… cough) into the pool. It's… glorious. Until I realize I forgot to put on any sunscreen. Cue the lobster impression. (Spoiler alert: still red)
- 5:00 PM: Attempt at a nap. Failed miserably. Jet lag is a cruel mistress. My brain is bouncing around my skull like a lonely pinball. Instead, I spent a lot of time staring at the ceiling fan and wondering how much wine I could reasonably drink without passing out.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner at the villa's restaurant. The food is amazing! I ordered the nasi goreng (of course) and a Bintang beer. Pure. Happiness. The waiter, an angel in disguise, patiently answers my endless questions about Balinese culture. Question: Why are there so many temples?? Answer: It's Bali, everything's a temple.
- 8:30 PM: Staring at the stars. I've never seen so many. And they actually look real. I'm not sure what kind of cosmic alignment happened, but I'm not complaining.
Day 2: Temples, Tuk-Tuks, and Terrible Decisions
- 8:00 AM: Breakfast. Mango smoothie and pancakes. I'm starting to think I could live here.
- 9:00 AM: Temple Run! I hired a driver (another Wayan, naturally) and we're off to explore the Pura Ulun Danu Beratan temple. Pictures? Majestic. Reality? Even MORE breathtaking. The temple floats on the lake, surrounded by mountains. I think I'm officially going to post every single photo here. The beauty just knocks you down.
- 11:00 AM: A terrible decision: I hire a "local" for a "massage." Let me be clear: my muscles are still sore.
- 12:30 PM: Lunch at a local warung (small restaurant). Best. Gado-gado. Ever. I’m already planning my escape, I'm never leaving.
- 2:00 PM: Another temple. This one is even more ornate. I stumble through the crowds, muttering prayers under my breath (I'm not even religious).
- 3:00 PM: A TUK-TUK adventure! One of those little three-wheeled contraptions. The driver, a teenager with a mischievous grin, takes me on the bumpiest, craziest ride of my life. I scream, I laugh, I cling for dear life. It's terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. I'm pretty sure my internal organs are now rearranged, but it was worth it.
- 5:00 PM: Return to the villa. Pool time, this time with SPF. But the memory of the massage still lingers.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. I try to be adventurous and order something called "lawar." Let's just say, it involved a lot of local spices and a texture I'm still trying to decipher. I made a quick retreat back to the nasi goreng.
Day 3: The Day I Fell in Love with a Volcano
- 6:00 AM: Sunrise! This is what I came for. Forget sleep, forget everything else. I climbed out of my bed to watch the sun rise.
- 8:00 AM: Mount Batur Hike. This was by far the hardest thing I've ever done. I'd heard it was "moderate." Whoever said that has never hiked with my level of fitness (or lack thereof). The climb up was brutal. The volcanic ash, the heat, the sheer vertical incline… I considered turning back about a thousand times. But the views… oh, the views!
- 10:00 AM: At the top! The reward. The view from the summit is… indescribable. The volcano, majestic and looming, the vast expanse of the caldera below, the clouds dancing in the sky… I was speechless. I could have stayed there all day. Honestly, seeing that view made me fall in love with a volcano.
- 11:00 AM: "Breakfast" – They serve you breakfast at the top. Eggs and bananas cooked by the volcano. It was incredible.
- 12:00 PM: The descent. Even harder on the knees than the ascent. I’m pretty sure I’m going to need a wheelchair.
- 2:00 PM: Back at the villa. Exhausted. Grateful. And still slightly red.
- 3:00 PM: Massages.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. I'm too tired to even decide what to eat. I eat everything.
Day 4: Goodbye, Paradise (Sniff!)
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast. Tears. I'm not ready to leave.
- 10:00 AM: Swimming in the pool while I still can. Staring at the view one last time. Trying to burn the memories into my brain.
- 12:00 PM: Check out. Sniff. Saying goodbye to Wayan and Dua Bidadari. The whole thing felt like saying goodbye to a friend.
- 1:00 PM: The drive back to the airport. I'm filled with the bittersweet ache of leaving paradise.
- 3:00 PM: Airport. I feel I can't breathe. Security lines, the overwhelming energy, and being away from the villa make me sick to my stomach. I miss the volcano. I miss the pool. I miss the heat. I miss the chaos.
- 4:00 PM: Airplane. All feels well.
- 5:00 PM: Leaving.
Final Thoughts:
Dua Bidadari was more than just a villa. It was an experience. It was a journey. It was a delicious, chaotic blend of beauty, adventure, and the occasional near-death experience. I'm already planning my return. Bali, you've stolen my heart (and my sanity). Thank you.
This itinerary is just a snapshot. My trip was filled with moments of pure joy, utter frustration, and everything in between. Embrace the mess. That’s where the magic truly lies.

Dua Bidadari Villas: FAQ - Because Asking Questions is Easier Than Actually Packing (Trust Me!)
Okay, Seriously, How Good Are These Views *Really*? I've Seen Pics…
Ugh, don't even get me started. The pictures? They lie. They absolutely, positively lie. They're stunning, sure. But they can't convey the feeling, the sheer, breath-snatching, "did I just win the lottery?" feeling of actually being there.
I remember the first day. My jaw literally dropped open. I stood there, like, mouth-breathing at the view for a solid ten minutes. My husband was probably thinking, "Right, she's broken," because I just kept muttering "Oh. My. God." and pointing. It’s the kind of view that makes you want to become one of those overly-spiritual yoga instructors, you know? You just… *become* the tranquility. (Until the mosquitos attack. More on *that* later…)
Mosquitos? Are these guys going to eat me alive?
Alright, brace yourself. The beauty comes with a price. Those pesky little buggers ARE a thing. I swear, they're ninja mosquitos; you can't even hear them. One minute you're admiring the sunset over the volcano, the next you're scratching some infernal itch.
Bring ALL the repellent. The strongest stuff, the kind that smells like a chemical plant. And apply it religiously. Consider those lemongrass coils the new, chic décor. I learned this the hard way. My legs looked like I'd lost a fight with a swarm of angry lawnmowers for a week. And the worst part? It wasn't completely their fault; I forgot my repellent in the villa, during an afternoon dip, which caused the whole war!
The Villas Themselves – Luxe or Lacking?
Oh, they're luxe, alright. Think: private plunge pools that are ridiculously Instagrammable, four-poster beds that scream "romance" (or, in my case, "nap"), and bathrooms so big you could hold a small rave in them. The first time I saw the shower - outdoors! - I nearly lost it again. I’m not usually one for the fancy life, but honestly, it was hard *not* to feel ridiculously spoiled.
The service is impeccable too. They anticipate your needs. Like, I swear, I'd think, "I could really go for a Bintang," and BAM! Someone'd be at the door with a frosty bottle. It's almost… too good. I started to wonder if I should tip them *more* just to keep them on my good side.
Is that pool as good as it looks in photos?
The pool is EVERYTHING. Seriously, it's the lifeblood. Okay, maybe that's dramatic, but it's a *huge* part of the experience. It's the perfect temperature, always. And the way it seemingly blends into the view? Mind-blowing.
I spent approximately 70% of my time in that pool. Sipping cocktails, reading books, just staring at the scenery. I even tried a little "synchronized swimming" (key word: *tried*. Let's just say my performance was more "drowning otter" than "Olympic athlete.") The only downside? Getting out. It was pure, unadulterated bliss.
Oh, and one time, I swear, I spotted a sneaky monkey near the pool. I almost screamed when I realized I had left the door open and the little rascal was probably getting ready for some tropical vacation. He looked at me, I looked at him, He was very sure about invading a villa, and I just closed doors ASAP, and then, spent a full hour talking about that monkey in a full-blown panic attack...
What's The Food Like? Will I be stuck eating bland hotel food?
Oh, the food! Absolutely not bland hotel food! Breakfast every single day that would make you question all the life choices you've made so far. The Indonesian dishes are INCREDIBLE, and they make them just for you!
The restaurants nearby are actually fantastic. You will definitely find something to eat and you will also find yourself with a great experience every time.
Is there anything to do besides just… stare at the view? Is there any adventure?
Okay, so… yes and no. Staring at the view is a perfectly acceptable activity. Honestly, it's highly recommended. But yes, there are things to *do*! Think: hiking (strenuous, but worth it), exploring local villages, and water sports. The hotel can organize everything.
I attempted a hike one day. "Attempted" is the operative word. I severely underestimated the humidity and the incline. Let's just say, I spent more time apologizing to my lungs than actually appreciating the scenery. But the view from the top… yeah, it was worth nearly passing out. Then, I did, another time, and finally I ended up just staying on the villa, watching the volcano with a cocktail in my hand...
It’s a choose-your-own-adventure situation. Do what feels right. And maybe bring a good hat.
What's the biggest downside? Real Talk.
The biggest downside? Leaving. Seriously. Packing up and saying goodbye was physically painful. I felt like I was abandoning a part of myself. Also, the mosquitos, obviously. And the credit card bill when you get home. But mostly, the leaving part. I still dream about that view. You will too.
Anything I should pack that isn't "obvious"?
Okay, besides the standard stuff (sunscreen, swimsuit, bug spray – obviously!), here’s my insider advice:
- A really good book: Something you can truly get lost in. You’ll have the time.
- A waterproof phone case: For those poolside selfies. Because, let’s be honest, you’re going to take a lot of photos.
- A small, refillable water bottle: Stay hydrated! It's hot and you'll be walking - hopefully!
- Earplugs: While there is not a single thing to dislike, some people may have trouble sleeping; since it is near nature, sometimes sounds will be heard! Roam And Rests
