Rambutan Boutique Hotel

Rambutan Boutique Hotel is set in a tropical paradise, surrounded by trees and nature. What started off as a simple family-run backpackers' hotel in 1989 has grown into a full-on boutique hotel with both guest rooms and larger villas. Decorated in a traditional Balinese theme, the hotel features local handcrafted decor throughout, made by local artists. Expect to see handcrafted stone and wooden features in the furniture. The restaurant and bar area is located outside and has a super casual atmosphere. There are two large swimming pools and a handful of surrounding sun lounges and parasols. The spa and health center are a bit cluttered, with not enough open space to create a truly relaxing atmosphere. Children are catered to with the two playgrounds and a tree house. The quiet location in Lovina attracts couples, solo travelers, and families with young children.
