Wonderfully landscaped property in relatively remote northwestern part of the island (Taman Nasional Bali Barat). Much less touristy than Lovina, and definitely not a place to party or surf like Kuta and no huge resort style complex like Nusa Dua or Jimbaran. If you like nature at its best, surrounded by tranquility, facing a calm bay, opportunities to row and... more

This was a very nice hotel with beautiful grounds. Very close to the dock to dive Menjangan Island. The food was very good. Nice pool overlooking the ocean. The only thing the hotel needed was a beach, but it is close to a lot of temples. They have the best staff. more

My wife booked this hotel, one of four we stayed in on our Bali trip. It's 4.5 hours from the airport - if you travel up in the evening, you miss the opportunity to visit some under-visited and interesting sites on the way. It's way up in the North West of Bali in the national park - great for wildlife,... more

In one word FABULOUS!!! This hotel is like a dream and to be honest I do not know how I'm going to make justice to it in words. The grounds, the rooms, the hotel, the staff, the activities, and the restaurant everything is just perfect!!! We asked for a transfer from Ubud to Gawana via e-mail and as promised we... more

A really quiet, romantic and beautifully situated resort. Very clean, luxureous and friendly and still with a nice Balinese touch. The diving is great at Menjangan island! We were the only visitors because it was low season but that was no problem at all. more

The resort sits right on Menjangan Bay with outstanding views of the bay and mountains from all points. The property features Suites of unique and traditional design offering fantastic views. We selected the Mangrove Suite which featured beautiful mangrove views with a huge outdoor bathroom with private soak tub. The Gawana Novus also prsents a large infinity pool, full-service restaurant,... more

Gawana Novus My husband and I stayed in a Lumbung Suite at Gawana in June. And we loved it! Prior to this, I was debating between Matahari Resort and Gawana and am so glad that I chose the former! A very strong selling point for this resort is the service. The staff seemed closely knit and were extremely accommodating, helpful... more
