Guest Reviews
Nestled in the heart of Lombok, Blue Monkey Retreat Areguling offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of Kuta's commercial center. Surrounded by a beautiful, remote landscape, the retreat boasts a breathtaking view and a relaxing atmosphere. Situated atop a steep, unpaved mountain path, this secluded haven is a perfect spot for those looking to disconnect from the digital world and immerse themselves in nature.
Despite the road leading to the accommodation being in poor condition, the stunning location in a friendly village more than compensates for the journey. Being only a 5-10 minute walk or a short drive from the beach, it provides easy access to the coast while still maintaining its serene and isolated charm. The area is ideal for visitors who have their own scooter to navigate the rough terrain and explore the beautiful local beaches and the center of Kuta, which is about 15-20 minutes away by motorcycle.
Though somewhat isolated from restaurants and bars, the magnificent views and peaceful environment make it a great getaway for those seeking solitude amidst the picturesque surroundings of Lombok.
