In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- We like Villa Jublag, but each spacious bungalow is self-contained and all are largely identical, except for the larger two- and three-beds – ideal for Smiths travelling en masse. Each one is decorated in a contemporary fashion with hints of traditional Balinese style spread throughout, blending natural materials such as teak, Bangkirai hardwood, coconut timber and rattan.
- Packing tips
- Some shoes fit for cycling – you can borrow bikes for free.
- Also
- Transport to the Gangsa’s Beach Club on Sanur beach is free, and you can arrange a gourmet picnic to enjoy while sun-worshipping.
Current offers
- Smith card offer
- 10 per cent off all food and drink; members staying four nights in a one-bedroom villa will receive a bottle of sparkling wine and a two-hour spa treatment each

A resting place for weary travelers and romantic souls, the Gangsa is concealed in a leafy hamlet near Sanur beach.
