overview
Cempaka Belimbing Villa sits deep in the Tabanan countryside, ringed by rice fields with the mountains behind, built as a small nature resort rather than a conventional hotel. Thatched-roof villas are decorated in traditional Balinese style, with satellite TV and a mini-bar, some villas have air conditioning, others only a fan, worth confirming at booking.
An outdoor pool, a heated jacuzzi, and a spa offering Balinese massage and flower baths round out the amenities. The restaurant serves Balinese, Indonesian, and European dishes with a daily American breakfast, and Batukaru Mountain is a scenic 30-minute drive, this is a base for exploring rural Tabanan rather than day-tripping to the coast.
Cempaka Belimbing
A hidden, rustic gem offering an authentic escape into the raw, unpolished beauty of nature.
Base yourself at Cempaka Belimbing in Tabanan
Start with Cempaka Belimbing's live prices for your dates, since room rates in Tabanan swing with the season. Then look at activity packages, since Tanah Lot at sunset and the Jatiluwih rice walk are easy to add once your base is set. Finally, price a car: the area is rural and the sights are far apart. The three links below go straight to each.

our review
Cempaka Belimbing Villa is for guests who want to genuinely disconnect, reviewers consistently describe waking up to rice-field and mountain views as the highlight of their stay, calling it one of the most authentically rural settings they've found in Bali. The thatched-roof villas' traditional Balinese style reinforces that sense of place.
The spa's flower baths and Balinese massage get particular praise for feeling rooted in local tradition rather than generic spa treatments, and the heated jacuzzi is a welcome extra after a day exploring the countryside. Reviewers are upfront that this is a deliberate choice for rural immersion, the roughly 90-minute drive to Kuta or Nusa Dua means it suits travellers building in a countryside leg, not a coastal base.
