Why go

Sidemen is like Ubud before Eat Pray Love. This sleepy town is the true essence of Bali - everything moves slowly and with respect to nature. Sidemen is also home to some truly epic villas with incredible volcano and rice terrace views.

What to do or see here

Hike rice paddies with a local guide, craft with local artisans, try farm-to-table cooking, visit Gembleng Waterfall, stay in a treehouse + explore Sidemen market (go before 9AM).

Best Time to Go

April to October is the dry season, ideal for visits. If you want to photograph/see the greenest rice terrace views, aim for rice harvest seasons: March-April or Sept-Oct.

Who is it for?

Sidemen offers a true Bali experience. See working rice fields, meet traditional craftspeople, and find iconic treehouse stays. It's perfect if you crave a chill village atmosphere.
