Sanda Plantation Hideaway

It was an absolute joy to stay at Toine and Mega’s. The location is as it’s shown with peaceful, uninterrupted views of the plantation - add in spectacular songbird and the sound of the stream gushing below the property - so relaxing. The tent is beautifully fitted out with coffee/tea set-up and interesting details crafted in bamboo by Toine himself - check out the toilet roll holder in the open air bathroom! Walking through the rice fields and the village with Toine and Mega gave us the opportunity to witness daily life in Bali, not just as tourists but as visitors. Toine and Mega are received with smiles and open arms wherever they go and are doing some amazing work supporting their community. Be sure to book dinner - Mega’s cooking is delicious and all ingredients are local and super fresh! Thank you Toine and Mega!!

Magnificent stay! It felt like coming home from the moment we arrived. Mega and Toine give hospitality a whole new meaning; everything feels warm, sincere, and effortless. And the food… we couldn't imagine it being better. That's how special it was! We miss your beautiful little paradise already; we'll be back soon!

Sanda is a hidden paradise, and this place is an absolute gem. 4 nights flew by nestled in nature and with delicious home cooked meals. Camping without skipping the pampering. I'm so grateful to have found this place and spent time with all of the lovely people who make it happen-- they set the bar higher than any 5☆ resort I've stayed at when it comes to hospitality. I was completely blown away by the care and effort put in to shopping for and special preparing vegan meals because I casually mentioned the preference. Every breakfast and dinner was comprised of multiple courses of all different cuisines that were absolutely delicious, and the company from my hosts was even better. I was, at most, hoping for vegan milk to make delicious lattes with the best coffee I tried in Bali! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️. The waterfall nearby is also stunning and worth a visit.

Nothing!

So far one of the best stays I’ve ever experienced! The hosts were kind, helpful and friendly, location was amazing - very immersive into local lifestyle, the food Mega cooked was something exceptional! highly recommend!

The stay itself was magical. Surrounded by lush greenery, we fell asleep to the chorus of insects and awoke to birdsong and the gentle murmur of the river winding through the valley. Watching the mist rise at dawn and dusk felt like a quiet, sacred ritual. The food was a highlight—each meal lovingly prepared by our incredible hosts, Mega and Yusuf. “May I come in?” became the most anticipated phrase of the day, signaling another unforgettable feast made with heart. The tours they arranged were full of joy and discovery: we chased waterfalls, swam in peaceful pools untouched by crowds, picked fresh fruits and vibrant flowers, and played with goats in the barn. But beyond the activities, what stood out most was the warmth and sincerity of the people we met—hospitality so genuine it transcended language. One of the most meaningful parts of the trip came toward the end, when Mega and Yusuf brought us to visit elders and members of the local community to share food and spend time together. It was a deeply moving experience—one that reminded us that travel can be more than sightseeing. It can be a way to connect, to give back, and to share in the simple but powerful joy of human kindness. In that moment, all differences—of language, culture, and background—disappeared, and what remained was a true sense of shared humanity. And just when we thought the journey couldn’t get any more special, Mega and Yusuf surprised us on our final evening with a traditional ceremonial dance performed by two young girls in the tent. It was an incredibly touching and joyful moment—an expression of cultural pride and heartfelt appreciation that left us in awe. We felt not just welcomed, but honored to witness such a beautiful gesture, one that made the spirit of the place shine even more brightly. We are deeply grateful for this experience, and we know with certainty: we will return.

The location, the people, the intent by the owners to give back to the local community.

everything!!! its was even better then expected! the view, the house/tent and the hosts are the nicest! the best thing was that they got diner for us from the village. it was so good and nice to sit with them and talk. at night you hear the jungle. i never slept that well. oh and the breakfast was sooooo good! 1.000 stars for that bamboo house.

Our favorite stay is Bali! Not touristy at all! Yusuf and his wife will cook you breakfast and diner every day, and believe us, best food in Bali! :) the tent is amazing. Small but it has everything you need! And the views are just amazing! The hosts can give you good travel advices and helps you with everything! They have a little paradise on earth :)

On day when we went on a sunrise hike we tried to sleep during the day, and the tent gets a bit too hot during the day. Otherwise, everything is perfect :)
