All the must-dos for a weekend getaway in Sideman, Bali. Where the rice fields meet the jungle, and a lively river flowing throughout. An untouched, beautiful part of Bali that shows you the essence of the real Bali, beyond the parties and beach clubs.
Natya River Sidemen
An awesome day to spend the day! They have a public pool + restaurant, with the most insane view of the river! Wide selections of wine. The beef rendang is absolutely incredible!!! Another great option to stay - “glamping” structures right on the river.

So quaint, so cute and secluded. The sweetest family owns it & makes you feel so welcomed. Hot water and strong AC! You can take a cooking class here to learn how to cook a traditional Balinese dish. (500k - around $35 USD for meat option,450k $31 for vegetarian option.) We absolutely loved the cooking class and learned how to make several Balinese dishes.

So much fun, we could not stop laughing. We got picked up around 9am from our accommodation, spent 2.5 hours rafting down the river. Saw several waterfalls & had an adrenaline filled day. Included a free buffet lunch afterwards + transportation back to our accommodation. Ask for Gun, he was the best most knowledgeable guide!

Great strong massages with an incredible view. 150k ($10 USD) for 1 hour. Ask for Dayu for one of the best massages of your life! We loved it so much we came back 2 days in a row.

Super adorable coffee shop + a small food menu. Slightly higher prices but worth it. The passionfruit cheesecake is out of this world. Super cozy couches outside to sit and enjoy your coffee + time with loved ones. Can’t wait to come back to this spot!

10/10 recommend this spot. Food was incredible - get the prawn tacos for an app, beef Mongolia and chicken teriyaki skewers for dinner! The atmosphere is absolutely amazing - best view in all of sidemen. There are so many little 2 person pools you can get in to cool off. The staff was so helpful and sweet the entire time. Truly a unique spot!

Hands down one of the nicest, well-thought out places I’ve ever stayed in Bali. The attention to detail is absolutely insane. The staff is incredible and the food is all incredibly delicious.The atmosphere curated at Samanvaya is so peaceful, I never wanted to leave. You’ll see beautiful views of the rice fields from every angle of the property. We stayed at their new villa with wellness pools and would 100% recommend to everyone! This place is truly magic.

Cannot recommend this spa more! I got a 60 minute Balinese couples massage for my boyfriend and I and it was SO relaxing yet strong, too. The atmosphere is so peaceful and calming. I loved the different massage oil options too! 10/10

Incredible waterfall, but definitely expect a lot of people. You will have to wait in a line to go into the cave and get a pic at the waterfall. Not too challenging, although the stairs can be steep so be cautious if you have a knee injury!

Cannot rave about this place enough - absolutely incredible food and great prices. Possibly the best beef rendang I’ve ever had. The lumpia was amazing too! Even my Indonesian boyfriend said this is one of his favorite restaurants in Bali. We went x2 on our trip!
