Samabe Bali Suites & Villas

Samabe sits on the clifftop at Sawangan, at the southern end of the Nusa Dua coast, with an infinity pool that looks straight out over the Indian Ocean. A path leads down to the resort's own stretch of white-sand beach, where there are loungers and a beach bar. Accommodation is in ocean-view suites in the main building and in private pool villas set in the gardens.

Samabe is known for its all-inclusive packages, which cover meals, drinks and a set of activities, so you can stay on site without watching the bill. Dining options include a restaurant overlooking the sea and private dinners in a lit cave on the beach. There is also a spa, and the resort is popular for honeymoons.

Prices are high, but the inclusive rate makes them easier to compare. The Nusa Dua enclave and its shops are 10 minutes away by car, and the airport around 30 minutes. Check the website for the latest package inclusions before booking.
