Hello.🖐️🖐️If you’re planning a honeymoon to Bali, you’re probably wondering which resort to choose, as it’s a resort paradise with thousands of small and large resorts. When you think of Bali, you probably think of the rainforest in Ubud, and today I ‘m going to introduceyou to Nandini Jungle by Hanging Gardens, where you canenjoy the rainforest in allitsglory. With only 34 rooms in total, all of which are suites and villas, it’s a luxurious and private place to truly rest and relax.
About Nandini Jungle by Hanging Gardens
Nandini Jungle by Hanging Gardens is about 15 kilometers from Ubud city and about a 30-minute drive, so you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of the real Ubud rainforest, away from the city 👍 There’s a shuttle to the city about twice a day, so it’s not too much of a hassle, and I’d recommend this resort for honeymooners who are exhausted after their wedding or anyone who just needs to relax.
The view from each room is amazing, but the view from the main pool is truly magnificent👍👍 You can take some great photos and memories with such a stunning backdrop. You also have freeaccess to the restaurants and pool at Hanging Gardens Bali, whichis right next door , and there is a shuttle service, so you can enjoy two resorts at once.
It looks quite luxurious, doesn’t it? It was completely renovated in 2019 and is well maintained, so you’ll feel clean and sophisticated👍 Hanging Gardens isvery popular among Koreans as a luxury honeymoon resort, so you know you’re in good hands. I’m already booked to visit in March, so I’m looking forward to it : )
Nandiniis said to have a special feel right from the entrance and reception when you enter the resort, with attentive and friendly hospitality and customer service that is relatively hard to find at larger resorts. Most of the staff also speak good English, so communication shouldn’t be a problem 😊.
