Some info has been automatically translated.
Hidden Well is more than just a place to stay. It's a carefully curated cottage designed to nourish, restore and revive; an idyllic escape for anyone who appreciates Bali’s authentic, uncrowded beauty. The pet-friendly cottage, tucked in a coconut grove, is 175m from an unspoiled beach. It has fast wifi, aircon, a well-equipped kitchen, outdoor bath (perfect for star-gazing) and gardens with more than 20 varieties of orchids. Walk to a beach in 3mins or drive to Medewi’s surf spot in 10mins.

The space
Hidden Well feels wonderfully private (with just one family living next-door). There is no frantic tourist vibe here – instead you’ll find a quiet connection with authentic Bali; a place where life is lived to the rhythm of nature. This is ’old Bali’, and it’s absolutely magical!

We’ll arm you with info on things to do with local guides and small family-run businesses. Book for 3 nights or more and we’ll offer you a free pink-buffalo and paddy experience – a brilliant opportunity to learn more about Balinese traditions and rural island life.

Other things to note
PET FRIENDLY
The garden is enclosed but as there are free-range chickens in the area, your dogs must please be chicken-friendly. Please bring your dog's bed and bowls.

NATURAL VIBES
We work consistently to keep the cottage well maintained but, because of the natural setting, it's inevitable that from time to time you may share the space with geckos or insects.

DO YOU HAVE A BEE ALLERGY?
There are some beehives nearby.

GETTING AROUND
We recommend you have a scooter, as it's a bit far to walk comfortably from Hidden Well to nearby restaurants and shops. We can help to arrange this if you don’t have one already.
