Review
Suarga Padang Padang is the invention of Frederik Wittesaele and his wife Karolien Verschelden, who vacationed in Bali regularly for years. They fell in love with the island’s tranquility and laid-back lifestyle and decided to move there permanently. The couple made it a goal to protect the surrounding environment, so they began building a hotel out of purely sustainable materials. Frederik and his team traveled throughout Bali to collect bamboo and wood from forests and abandoned structures, always asking permission from the local villages and making sure to obtain the necessary allowances from authorities. Today, the Suarga Padang Padang creates a new standard in hospitality with luxury lodgings and an eco-friendly ethos.
The boutique resort features 36 breathtaking rooms, pavilions and villas, each made with natural materials like recycled hardwoods, bamboo, thatched roofing and hand-picked stones from the island of Sumba. Each accommodation boasts a modern and minimalist aesthetic with panoramic views of the ocean or gardens.
On property, there is a large infinity-edge pool, a spa and fitness center and the Dugong restaurant that serves traditional Balinese cuisine. Off property, guests can surf at the nearby Padang Padang surf break, trek to one of Bali’s most sacred mountains, dive to coral reefs and shipwrecks, visit temples, boat to nearly islands and enjoy wildlife experiences.
Who Should Stay
Active travelers who love the beach, are passionate about the environment and crave a little adventure along with serenity.
