With its pristine volcanic beach, this beachfront Bali resort offers two swimming pools, three dining options, two yoga studios, and a gym.
Their Beach Club was voted in the top 5 in Asia and the executive chef brings his worldwide cuisine experience to the dishes. The body deserves a reward after a hard day in the surf, and their Joglo Spa understands how to pamper the body – from head to toe.
At Komune Resort you’ll have everything you need for an incredible and unforgettable week.

the food
FROM FARM TO PLATE AT HOTEL KOMUNE
As part of their dedication to providing fresh and local food to our guests, Komune Resort has upgraded their organic farm with the help of Mara Wolford, an organic agriculture expert.
They are striving to be self-sufficient and, guided by Mara, they are now growing a range of fruits and vegetables on site to stock their restaurants. They also have our own chickens for eggs and goats for milk, all fed only organic produce.
Fruits and veggies grown on-site at Komune:
Bananas
Pineapples
Papaya
Herbs
Chilis
Beetroot
Garden greens
Beans
Zucchinis
Broad leaves
What Komune can’t grow on site, they source from local, organic farms who use only sustainable practices.
