Cili Emas is pretty much as advertised. Their website is honest and presents the place as it really is, no surprises: black rock beach, communal dining and all. The place is quite isolated on the northern shore of Bali, very far from the tourist hell of Kuta. Well, that's a double edged sword. You're trading the mass of restaurants within... More

I travelled here with my friend a couple of months ago. We never thought this was going to be a little paradise. Cili Emas offers a unique Balinese experience. The owners of the hotel, Jochan and Nicole had created a magical place where you can truly come and relax and feel comfortable. The staff is incredible, not only are they... More

We booked 4 nights at this breathtakingly beautiful resort. We pre-arranged for a driver to collect us from Sanur (450,000 rupiah) and take us for the 2.5 hour drive through Bali to Tejakula. The drive in itself was amazing! Having been to Bali 3 times before, we wanted to stay somewhere away from Legian and see somewhere new. When we... More

Escaping the rush and noise of Ubud here we found a place which was peaceful and gentle .... the energy here is soft ... Very caring and attentive hosts with a great team. The home cooked meals are excellent.

If you are looking for a place away from all the hustle and bustle, then this is the place for you. This is a toally isolated area and will appeal to most. I enjoyed my stay thoroughly - the place clean and well maintained. The only thing I can complain is that there is no aircon or fan. Not being... More

Located in beautiful northern Bali, this heavenly little seaside resort is the perfect location for a relaxing vacation. Tastefully furnished and decorated, the resort is spotless, the rooms very comfortable, the surroundings magnificent, and the food is absolutely scrumptious. The owners, Nicole and Jochen, are thoughtful and gracious, their staff professional, friendly and efficient. I soon had the feeling that... More

Cili Emas is a delightful resort on the quiet north coast of Bali at Tejakula. I found it friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and very clean. Everything there speaks of quality: the rooms, the furnishings, the great food, the gardens, the pool, spa – all have a warm, personal touch. It is the feeling of being part of a family that impressed... More

Location: Hidden underneath palmtrees at the black beaches of northern bali, behind the colorful boots of the fishermen, two hardly visibly doors in a stone wall lead to the little resort in the middle of a tropical paradise. No signpost to show you the way. It´s a place to live in harmony with nature and community, no place for the... More

After the hustle and bustle of Ubud we drove ourselves out to this hidden gem on the coast, hidden it was too as we had to have the help of some local teenagers on their motor bike to lead us there, but what a find! This is the real Bali, serene, gracious and very welcoming. Our room was delightful, complete... More
