My time at Great Mountain Views and Sidemen was absolutely magical and incredible. Being a solo traveller, I will admit that, at first, travelling out to the resort was quite intimidating and overwhelming with the closeness of Mt Agung and the remote area. However, within half an hour of being there, the ambience hit, and I knew I was in for the once-in-a-lifetime experience I had hoped for. The resort is genuinely beautiful. You can tell a lot of detail, thought, care, and respect has gone into making it. The staff are so friendly and kind, and I felt so cared for, especially by Nyoman and Wayan, who made me feel like I was being welcomed into a luxurious home. I booked in for two experiences at the resort through Clare in reservations, who was incredibly accommodating, attentive and kind through the whole organising and booking experience, which added to such a wonderful experience. One was Wayan's Canang Sari class, which was truly special. Wayan was so patient and had a brilliant way of teaching. Learning the process and being taken to the temple was one of my favourite parts. I also did a Ricefield walk, which incorporated much more than I expected. My guide, Made was terrific, and his knowledge of culture, traditions, history, and customs was outstanding. I had a wonderful time talking, walking and learning from him. Clare also helped organise a visit and activities at Samsara Living Museum, which I highly recommend. The tranquillity of GMV, makes it a must-visit for those wanting to connect and learn about the natural and authentic Bali. Thank you to Clare, Nyoman, Wayan, Made and all the staff who made it an exceptional stay. I can't wait to return soon and bring my family back.
