overview
Kelapa Retreat and Spa sits on the black sand coast at Pekutatan in Jembrana, on grounds shaded by around 500 coconut trees near a fishing village. Accommodation is a set of self-contained villas rather than hotel rooms, from 100 square metre Beach, Ocean and Garden Villas to 150 square metre pool villas, the Kelapa Beach House and the two bedroom Kelapa Residence.
Tides Restaurant and Bar sits a few steps from the beach, and wellness runs through Samudra Spa alongside yoga and meditation sessions. Guests can choose villas with or without a private pool. Medewi Beach, known for its long surf wave, is a short drive along the coast.

Base yourself at Kelapa Retreat and Spa in Jembrana
Start with Kelapa Retreat and Spa's live prices for your dates, since villa rates in Jembrana swing with the season. Then look at activity packages, since a surf session at Medewi and a visit to the Rambut Siwi temple are easy to add once your base is set. Finally, price a car, because the west coast road is long and taxis are hard to find out here. The three links below go straight to each.

our review
This is the far west of Bali, and Kelapa is built for people who make the drive on purpose. The villas are spacious and private, the beach is black sand under coconut palms, and the restaurant and spa mean there is little reason to leave. We would book it for couples who want quiet days with nothing on the schedule.
The 4.9 comes from about 600 Google reviews, which is a strong result for somewhere this remote. The catch is distance: Pekutatan is roughly two to three hours from the airport, and there is little nightlife, shopping or choice of restaurants nearby. Anyone who wants cafés on the doorstep, or who plans to tour the island from one base, should stay further south instead.
