AC Collection / Bali / Sidemen
Sidemen is the Bali people describe from twenty years ago. A green valley of terraced rice fields under Mount Agung, weaving villages, and nights so quiet you hear the river.
Couples, honeymooners, writers and families who want to disconnect for a few days. It pairs perfectly with a stay on the coast: a few nights of silence, then the beach.
Pools facing the volcano, open pavilions and staff who cook with produce from the valley. Days are for trekking through the rice terraces, visiting temples and doing very little.
Every house is chosen by Anthony Campana, a Superhost for ten years with more than 1,000 reviews across booking platforms and a 4.9 average rating.
Around two hours by car. From Ubud it is about an hour.
Two to four nights is ideal to enjoy the valley and Mount Agung views before or after the coast.
