Away from the bustle of Denpasar’s gridlocked streets, Saba Estate switches on the serenity from a secluded stretch of black-sand beach along Bali’s quieter southeastern coast. With just six suites, service is personal without being overbearing and refined interiors are carefully considered to ensure views are especially scenic. Saba’s slumberous state is tough to pull yourself from, so we’d recommend just falling into its welcoming hands and heading straight for the spa, where traditional treatments and meditative massages await; sipping and dipping by the palm-fringed pool; or simply standing on its shores watching Balian surfers cut and carve in the silhouetted distance.

All Saba’s suites are designed with coolly minimalist interiors, kept calm with neutral tones and wood accents.

There’s a small thatched balé alongside the pool, where traditional Indonesian dishes (spicy roasted duck, and grilled ayam taliwang chicken) are expertly concocted by head chef Ketut Darma. Light lunches and bites can also be ordered straight to your sunlounger during the day, breakfast is delivered to you every morning and the balé is set for afternoon tea daily.

Hotel bar

There’s no bar at the hotel, but drinks from the restaurant menu can be delivered straight to your sunloungers.

Room service

Just let your round-the-clock butler know when you’re hungry and they’ll be more than happy to whip something up in-room.

Saba Estate is along Bali’s southeastern coast, just under an hour's drive from Denpasar.

Planes

Bali’s international Ngurah Rai Airport is in Denpasar, a 45-minute drive from the hotel; private transfers can be arranged on request from US$60 each way.

Automobiles

If you do decide to drive, there are plenty of rental booths at the airport and the hotel has free valet parking.

Worth getting out of bed for

Bali’s verdant beauty surrounds Saba Estate, and you’re never far from its natural wonders. Visit Kemenuh Village on the Petanu River and swim under the famed cascades of the Tegenungan and Blangsinga waterfalls – adrenaline junkies may favour the latter for its 40-metre-high glass bridge that crosses the river. Head a little further south for the Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang, where local guides wait to take you on the trek up to the top of the falls. Wannabe surfers can learn to cut the waves at Gone Surfin’ School along Keramas Beach, or go horseback-riding along Saba Beach at sunset. If that all sounds a little too adventurous, spend the afternoon at the Sababay Winery for tours and tastings.

Local restaurants

Stop off at family-run Warong Legong, a 10-minute drive from Saba Estate, where homemade Balinese eats are dished out in a humble dining room built around rice paddies. If you’re willing to make the hour's drive, the island’s famed Atlas Beach Club is along the southwestern coast, in Canggu.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this hush-hush hotel in Indonesia and unpacked their Raksassa masks and handmade jewellery, a full account of their beachside break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Saba Estate in Bali…

Once you’ve scooted far from Balinese capital Denpasar’s blaring bikes, followed the off-road track to the southeastern coast and reached a set of almost-hidden gates, Saba Estate begins to reveal its placid pace and scenic shoreside spot bit by bit. Inside, just six spacious suites sit wrapped around the estate’s tropical gardens and beachside pool; interiors are modern with marbled accents, creatively crafted furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows that make for stellar sunset views. Beyond basking poolside and tension-busting in the spa, the island’s famed beaches sit on your doorstep, waterfalls await your wading, and sunrise horse rides make for Instagram-worthy shots. Things sure do get scenic in Saba…
