Giri Sea Cliff Penida Resort & Spa is the kind of place that’s worth making the trip. The journey, which entails a speedboat ride across the ocean from Bali’s mainland and a 20-minute scenic drive, is rewarded by a sight for sore eyes. The picturesque scenery is painted by unobstructed views of dazzling blue oceans and the majestic Mount Agung that rises into the misty sky, free of manmade clutter for a true escape from the busyness of urban life.
Thatched-roof structures house 17 accommodations comprising One- and Two-Bedroom Villa options, some arriving with private pools that stretch out toward the glittering oceans. Interiors are beautifully laid out: bedrooms are spacious, porches provide plenty of areas to while away the days outdoors, and bathrooms are well equipped with large tubs and ample vanity space for one to prepare themselves for the resort’s offers beyond the rooms’ four walls.
The infinity pool, with all its curvatures, creates the illusion of floating above the cliffs, with a bar just steps away with tropical libations to complete the experience. Blissful relaxation is almost guaranteed at the spa, where Balinese healing tradition pairs with holistic therapies for restoration. Not to be missed is Solara Restaurant, a charming dining room where one can savour panoramic views alongside a lineup of Pan-Asian dishes.
