Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Double One Villas Amed, Bali
Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Double One Villas Amed - A Messy, Glorious Review
Okay, buckle up, because I'm about to spill the beans (and maybe some Bintang) on Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Double One Villas in Amed, Bali. Forget those sterile, predictable hotel reviews – this is the real deal, warts and all. And trust me, the warts are mostly charming.
First Impressions (and a Bit of a Panic Attack):
Getting to Amed is an adventure in itself. The drive from the airport is a loooong one. But hey, it's Bali! I was praying the villas would actually be as unreal as the name promised when I landed in Denpasar airport. Well, the name wasn't lying. Driving up the hill to the villas, and BAM, the view hits you. Jaw-dropping, genuinely breathtaking. The Unbelievable part of the name? Spot on.
Accessibility: (Because Let's Be Real, I Almost Tripped Over My Own Feet):
Right off the bat, I'm not a mobility expert, but I did notice a few things. The villas have a lot of stairs, and the terrain is not completely flat. So…not exactly ideal if you have serious mobility issues. But hey, if you can handle a few staircases, this place is worth it.
On-Site Bliss (and Possibly a Mild Sunburn):
The swimming pool is where I spent, oh, 80% of my time. That pool with a view? It's even better than the pictures. Seriously, I'd climb Kilimanjaro for a view like that. The infinity edge just melts into the ocean. Forget Instagram; I’m trying to find my zen.
There's also a little poolside bar, which, let's be honest, is a recipe for happiness. They serve a mean cocktail, especially during Happy Hour (yes, I took full advantage). I even heard them calling out to me during my spa treatments. The service? The waitstaff is incredibly attentive, and they're genuinely friendly (not the fake smiles; the real kind). A must try is the Nasi Goreng, and the happy hour and the sunset view.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: (My Stomach is Still Thanking Me):
The food? Oh, the food! The restaurants offer both Asian and Western cuisine, with everything from breakfast buffets to a la carte options. The Asian breakfast was a must for me. Honestly, I'm still having dreams about the nasi goreng and the fresh fruit. And of course, the Coffee/tea in restaurant selection was fabulous. The International cuisine in the restaurant was also a winner, so many goodies. I remember a really fantastic salad in the restaurant. I was also pleasantly surprised by the Vegetarian restaurant.
Relaxation Stations: (Massage, Saunas, Oh My!)
Now, let's talk about the spa. The Spa/sauna is what vacation is about, right? I indulged. Hard. I had a massage, a body scrub, and a body wrap. My skin felt like a baby's bottom afterward. The Sauna was pure bliss. I could have stayed in there forever. The Steamroom was also a great perk. And the Foot bath! Just thinking about it puts me in a trance. They even have a Gym/fitness center, but I’m pretty sure the only exercise I did was walking from my villa to the pool.
Cleanliness and Safety: (Feeling Safe is Important, Especially After All That Bintang):
Okay, let's get practical. This is a biggie for me. The cleanliness and safety protocols are top-notch. I felt incredibly safe. They use anti-viral cleaning products, have daily disinfection in common areas, and staff is trained in safety protocol. They also have a doctor/nurse on call and a first aid kit, which is reassuring. They also provide hand sanitizer for everyone. I appreciated the individually-wrapped food options.
In-Room Heaven (and Maybe a Few Late-Night Snacks):
The villas themselves are phenomenal. Available in all rooms are Air conditioning, thank god. The bathrobes, slippers, and complimentary tea are a lovely touch. Free Wi-Fi in the rooms is a lifesaver. I could even get work done (although, let's be honest, mostly I was just posting pictures of the pool). The extra long bed was a HUGE plus. The Blackout curtains meant sleeping in was a serious possibility. The daily housekeeping was impeccable. The in room safe box made me feel safer, especially after all the massage-induced naps. The refrigerator kept my Bintangs icy cold. It also had an alarm clock for those times I had to wake up.
Services and Conveniences: (The Little Things That Make All the Difference):
They really think of everything. Cash withdrawal, concierge service, currency exchange, dry cleaning, laundry service, and even a convenience store (for those midnight snack cravings) . The daily housekeeping was fantastic. They even provide an invoice provided. Room service [24-hour]. So many options, so little time. I was thinking about this more recently and was super happy that they provided things like essential condiments.
Things to Do: (Beyond Just Blissing Out):
Well, apart from the pool, the spa, and eating my weight in delicious food? There's definitely a lot to do, but truthfully, I didn't do much outside of the villas. I did hear the area is great for diving and snorkeling, but honestly, I was too busy being a pool potato.
Getting Around: (Airport Transfer, Anyone?)
They offer airport transfer, which is essential. Getting there is a bit of a trek, and they made the journey smooth and easy. There's also car park [on-site] which is ideal.
For the Kids (if You, You Know, Have Kids…):
I didn’t travel with kids, but they do have babysitting service and kids facilities. The family/child friendly aspect seemed like a plus.
The Quirky Stuff (Because Life Isn't Always Perfect):
Okay, here's the deal. It's not perfect. There might be a gecko or two making an appearance on your balcony (consider it a Balinese welcoming committee). And the Wi-Fi, while free, can sometimes be a little… temperamental. But honestly? These minor imperfections just added to the charm. It's the kind of place where you feel like you can truly unplug, recharge, and embrace the messy, beautiful reality of life.
The Verdict: (My Heart Still Yearns for That Pool):
Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Double One Villas Amed? Absolutely freaking YES. It’s a place where you can truly escape the daily grind, immerse yourself in beauty, and (most importantly) relax. It's messy, it's beautiful, and I'm already dreaming of going back.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're about to dive headfirst into my ridiculously chaotic Bali adventure at Double One Villas in Amed. This isn't your polished travel blog, folks; this is the unvarnished truth, warts and all (and trust me, there were a few).
Double One Villas: Amed, Bali – An Itinerary (Maybe? More Like a Suggestion…)
Day 1: Arrival – Paradise Found (Then Slightly Misplaced a Sunglasses)
- Morning (or what felt like it after the red-eye): Landed in Denpasar, Bali. The air hit me like a warm, fragrant hug. Seriously, it's like someone bottled sunshine and frangipani. The airport? Utter chaos. A beautiful organised chaos. Navigating the visa process felt like a trial of my patience. The driver from Double One Villas was waiting, the car's AC a blessed relief.
- Afternoon: The drive to Amed? Long. Winding. Gorgeous. The rice paddies… breathtaking! I did so many photo, I could have set up a photography studio. I was completely mesmerized. We finally arrived at Double One around 3 pm. The villa? The pictures don't do it justice. Serene. Private. And that view! Volcano Agung looming majestically in the distance. Immediately, I did the classic move: unpacked, splashed in the pool, and officially declared myself "on holiday!"
- Evening: Sunset, Dinner, and Disaster! Sunset cocktails at the villa. Pure bliss. The golden light painting the sky… then, the first tiny crack of paradise. Tried to order a local specialty for dinner, but my Indonesian is non-existent. The waiter's face said it all. Ended up with something vaguely resembling chicken. And then… the disaster. Realizing in panic the sunglasses went missing. Back to square one, in a way. Frustration, slight, but manageable.
Day 2: Diving Deep (Literally) and Finding My Inner Fish (Or, Lack Thereof)
- Morning: So, Amed is famous for diving and snorkeling. Everyone kept raving about it. I thought, "yeah, I'll be all graceful and serene, gliding through the coral reefs like a mermaid princess". Wrong. Woke up, tried to find my sunglasses again, but was unsuccessful. Headed out to the beach for a morning of snorkeling. After the initial exhilaration, I got hit by the wave. I could feel the pressure as my ears popped. Then, I managed to get water in my mask and choked myself. Finally, after some time, I got used to it. The underwater world is amazing. Fish the size of my hand. The coral… like a kaleidoscope.
- Afternoon: Decided to have a little bit of massage in the villa. Pure relaxation in the most idyllic setting.
- Evening: Dinner at a beachfront warung. Fresh seafood. The crashing waves… idyllic. A beer or two. Then? Headed back to the villa, feeling like a proper local.
Day 3: Volcano Views, Motorbike Mishaps, and Mango Madness
- Morning: Decided to get a motorbike and explore. Big mistake. The traffic in Bali is a force of nature. It took me an hour to drive to a local store (and almost crashed a dozen times). But the scenery was worth it. The view of Mount Agung was unreal.
- Afternoon: Mango juice. So much mango juice. I swear I consumed my weight in mangoes. They're like liquid sunshine.
- Evening: Sat on my balcony, watching the sunset. The sky exploded with color, and a deep sense of peace settled over me.
Day 4: The Temples, the Tears, and the Tummy Troubles
- Morning: Visited Tirta Gangga. This place is like a fairy tale. The water gardens, the intricate sculptures… magical. Spent a ridiculous amount of time taking photos. Got "blessed" by a Balinese priest. Felt strangely moved. Had a moment of pure, unadulterated joy, the kind that makes you want to hug a stranger (I refrained).
- Afternoon: Ate something that didn't agree with my stomach. Spent the afternoon… well, let's just say close to the villa's bathroom and avoiding the sun. So much for beautiful tanned skin!
- Evening: Feeling better. Ordered some plain rice and tea. Watched the stars. A perfect ending to a slightly imperfect day.
Day 5: The Longing to Stay, and Flight Departure
- Morning: After a full breakfast served in my villa, I have a nice and chill morning doing nothing. Packing and the sad ritual of packing up all my belongings.
- Afternoon: Last dip in the pool. Tears welling up, I don't want to leave.
- Evening: Goodbye. A sad farewell to the team. The drive back to the airport… the final moments of bliss. Boarding the plane with a heart full of memories, a longing for the life in Bali.
Final Thoughts (AKA Rambling Afterthoughts):
Bali, and especially Amed, is a place that gets under your skin. It's not perfect. The traffic is insane. The food can be… adventurous. But the beauty, the kindness of the people, the sheer vibe… it's intoxicating. I wouldn't trade that trip for the world. Especially the part of the beach, I am going back. I am already planning my return.
And yes, I still never found those sunglasses. Consider them a small price to pay for an unforgettable adventure. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to book my flight again…

Escape to Paradise: Unbelievable Double One Villas Amed - Your Questions Answered (Maybe!)
Alright, spill. Is Amed actually paradise, or is it just Instagram-filtered hype?
Okay, deep breath. Amed... it's… got layers, you know? The Instagrammers definitely have their fill. Picture this: I arrive, jetlagged and crumpled, expecting some perfectly manicured beach. Nope. It’s beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it's real beauty. Think jagged volcanic landscapes meeting impossibly blue water, a slightly dusty road, and the constant, gentle hum of scooters. Paradise? Kinda. Perfect? Absolutely not. And that's what makes it actually great. It’s got character, it's got the grit of a place still figuring things out, and it's all the better for it. I found myself instantly charmed.
Real talk: One afternoon, trying to find a particular sunset spot, I got hopelessly lost on this tiny dirt track. Ended up at a local's house, communicating with hand gestures and smiles (because my Indonesian is appalling). They gave me some of their coconut water, and I probably looked like a sweaty, confused mess. But it was pure gold. Paradise often smells a little like coconut water and the faint scent of incense, wouldn't you say?
What's the deal with those "Unbelievable Double One Villas"? Are they REALLY unbelievable? Like, unicorn-level unbelievable?
Unicorn-level? Hmm, that's a high bar. Let's say… surprisingly delightful. Double One Villas are a total vibe. The villas themselves are gorgeous, open-plan, with private pools that I shamelessly spent the entire time in (don't judge my life choices). The decor is minimal, Balinese, with a touch of modern, and the beds are so comfy, you'll literally melt into them after a day of diving, yoga, or just... existing. Okay, maybe they aren't unicorn-level, but they’re darn close. I found myself thinking how well built it was overall. They were obviously built with care and good materials. Nice.
My imperfection: The first evening, I misplaced my phone (stress!), and I was convinced I'd lost it forever. Turns out, it slipped behind the bed. Embarrassing, yes. But also, the staff were incredibly helpful and didn't even judge my minor meltdown.
So, what's the food situation? Am I gonna starve, or am I gonna be drooling all day?
Drooling. Guaranteed. Your stomach is going to be happy in Amed. The Double One Villas have a great restaurant and the breakfast is top tier and the quality of food is just superb. It's fresh, flavourful, and not crazy expensive. And the local warungs (small, family-run restaurants) are pure gold. The nasi goreng (fried rice) is a must-try, and the grilled fish…oh, the grilled fish. I could have eaten that every single day. Seriously. I think I might have.
Quirky observation: I swear, the coffee in Bali is magic. It’s so damn good that I thought I might actually become a coffee convert, a thought previously terrifying.
Is there anything to actually DO in Amed besides lie on the beach? (Because, let's be real, I *will* be lying on the beach.)
Okay, so, lying on the beach is a perfectly valid activity. Like, *highly* recommended. But yes, there's more! Amed is a diver's paradise, the coral reef is stunning! Snorkelling and scuba diving are massive. Plenty of day trips up for grabs. You can hike, do yoga (obvs), and explore traditional villages.
**Rambling time:** Okay, so I tried to learn to scuba dive. Emphasis on "tried." I'm not gonna lie; the first dive was terrifying. My mask kept fogging, and the instructor had to keep yanking me back from the deep end. But you know what? The feeling of being underwater, seeing those fish... it's magical! I felt silly, and a bit clumsy, but it was an experience I'll never forget. It's okay to feel a little scared, it's even okay to fail sometimes. It's all part of the story. When you get past the fear, it's a truly beautiful experience.
What's the WiFi like? Can I Instagram my Bali life in peace, or am I doomed to digital darkness?
It’s… Bali. Expect it to be a bit patchy. The WiFi at the villas was pretty good, solid enough for emails, and the occasional Instagram story. But don't expect lightning-fast speeds. Embrace the digital detox a bit! Seriously, put your phone down and just… look. I promise, the real world is way more beautiful than your Instagram feed.
Emotionally Honest: Okay, so there was one day, I was trying to upload a photo and it was taking *forever*. And I was getting so frustrated. I realised how ridiculous I was being. Take a deep breath, admire the view, and forget about the internet for a hot minute. It's the perfect place to unwind.
Are the staff at the Double One Villas nice? I need to know I'm not going to be stuck dealing with grumpy people all week!
The staff? Outstanding. Seriously, they’re so friendly, helpful, and genuinely kind. They’re super present. They remember your coffee order, your favourite spot by the pool, and they're always smiling. I felt like they were genuinely happy to have us there. And THAT makes all the difference. It's the little things, right? It makes your time more enjoyable.
Opinionated language: I HATE unfriendly hotel staff. Seriously, it can ruin a whole vacation. The Double One Villas staff were the complete opposite – they made me feel like part of their little paradise.
Anything I should pack that I wouldn't think of?
Okay, this depends. But mosquito repellent is KEY! The little buggers are relentless. Bring a good book, and a sense of adventure. And maybe some earplugs. You're going to want to get deep sleep and sometimes, the local roosters are super enthusiastic about their morning call. They're part of the charm, but they do wake you up! Also, maybe a small flashlight/torch would be useful in case of a power cut because its dark at night.
More Rambling: Now, about that book… I got through three. One trashy novel, one travel guide, and one philosophical treatise on the meaning of life (don'tHoneymoon Havenst
