Lovely resort. Immaculate grounds and gardens and lovely staff. We stayed at Nirwana for seven nights with a half board package. It is located on the Candidasa foreshore, which is currently being fortified by the government. There is no beach, however the views over the water are beautiful.
The Room and bathroom is spacious, modern interior with balinese touch, comfortable bed and overall The ambiance, we’ve enjoyed the vibe from morning till night was so priceless. The sun, the view, and ambiance on night was so romantic The staff also very kind Overall, i really enjoyed my staycation here
Wonderful stay at this idyllic resort. We chose it for the beautiful seaside architecture and the pool and loved everything about our stay. Very kind and helpful staff, gorgeous and very large rooms, good breakfast, wonderful gardens and completely quiet and peaceful. When construction of the beach path was nearby, we were upgraded to a lovely pool villa away from the noise. Fantastic value for such a lovely place. We can’t wait to return. Thank you to all the lovely staff at Nirwana.
