ESCAPE TO MENJANGAN DYNASTY RESORT, WEST BALI - Around August 2015 I went to West Bali to explore its nature and beauties supported by Unilever, the trip called Travel Smart with Pepsodent. I had made 5 Days Bali Itinerary, and explore almost all the part of Bali from West to East, Central and South, but unfortunately, I had no time to explore the Nothern Part.
Back then, the White Sandy Beach was only an ordinary beach, there were some bungalows and local warung, we can say it was a dive center, for people who wants enjoy the Menjangan water by diving or snorkeling. It was a beautiful beach, and I remember I said to myself that I want to spend some days here next time, even at that time I wasn't so sure about the bungalows. Who knows, in late April 2017, when I was planning my trip back to Bali, there's Menjangan Dynasty Resort, Beach Camp & Dive Centre in the exact location when the boat picked me up for snorkeling. I was like no way, I need to go here, period!
Not only it's quite sentimental for me, but their concept of Glamping a.k.a Glamorous Camping simply interests me. From the span years, no need question that the Menjangan Dynasty Resort is a new accommodation in the area. so there's not yet a maintenance problem because it's a new :). Why I said it was an escape, because from the airport to Menjangan Dynasty Resort it's 4 hours road trip, almost like Jakarta-Bandung, so I get used to it. But I hear from their staff, there will be an option of Helicopter and I believe, they already have a seaplane to accommodate you to reach the resort faster, so I think it's good, 2 experience at a time.
They have total 28 rooms (24 beach camp tents, 2 one bedroom cliff tent villas with private pool and bathtub, 2 two bedrooms cliff tent villa with private pool and bathtub that suitable for family)
This eco-friendly resort is much inspired by luxury African safari tent, you can get the ambience when the staff at the reception greeted you, with safari uniform and massive bamboo structure all over the resort; Lobby, restaurant, spa and its own dive centre, brought to you by Bali Hai Diving Academy with all the water fun and even adventure to Ijen Carter they have provided.
For me personally, it was a great destination to escape from bustling part of Bali, it wasn't really "Bali", it was completely different, but you don't have to pay for an extra airfare to feel the experience. I can't compare it with any other places because it's unique, you can explore the underwater by snorkeling or diving, having fun by canoeing or play with the paddle board if you got extra time you can explore our West Bali National Park and mangrove. But if you want to enjoy the resort, you can swim at their Infinity Pool with a view, enjoying the afternoon tea at the Pasir Putih beach club & bar while sunbathing, or even try their beachfront Pasir Putih Spa by Ambiente.

I want to share a bit of my room so you can have a better insight about the resort. My room is tent number #206, with garden and beach view, not directly beach view because there are some plants and trees. It's so quiet, but when the morning comes, what can I say is the sunshine lights the coast, birds were singing, and you can hear the sound of calm waves (calm because the resort is located at peninsular area, the waves comes from either from the wind or because there were boats crossed the water from the nearest jetty)
The rooms is facilitated with Flat Screen TV (nice signal in my room), DVD player, wifi (great), the box next to the table is actually a mini-bar, shower with both hot and cold water, toilet (expose, but you can adjust the partition), fan, air conditioning. and anything that usually hotels provide for their guest. Except the tent and the large deck where I enjoy my magazine reading, and morning breakfast (soon on the blog). If you have any question about the room and the resort, please let me know on the comment box down below :)
"The Menjangan Dynasty Resort, Beach Camp and Dive Resort offers a unique experience in an unspoiled area of North-West Bali providing an ultimate relaxing escape. The eco-friendly resort combines the high-quality bamboo structures with African safari tents to be a total harmony with the surroundings. Being located on a quite isolated peninsular on over 16 hectares of land, all tents are amply spaced to provide intimate privacy. The resort boasts a rare and pristine sandy beach with its signature Pasir Putih Beach Club and Bar offering all day dining. Breathtaking 360-degree views encompass the mountains that make up the Bali Barat National Park as well as East Java and views to the sacred Menjangan Island." - Menjangan Dynasty Resort, Beach Camp & Dive Resort
I can say that this resort is suitable for solo traveler who wants to enjoy the serenity of Bali's nature, the romantic couple who wants spend their honeymoon, even for big family and group. I also try Spa, I will write it down on the separated post. So see you soon.
