The Nest — a jungle treehouse with sea views above Lovina

A jungle treehouse with a sea view on Bali’s quiet north coast — the Nest is a treehouse in North Bali, an architect-designed cabin on stilts, perched high above Lovina’s gardens and the Bali Sea, with a rooftop terrace, modern comfort, and a light, quiet footprint.

Why guests love it

An architect's cabin in the trees, with the sea below.

Above it all

Lifted on stilts, with sea on one side and Bali's lush agricultural gardens on the other.

Private pool

A private pool tucked into the garden below the cabin — for slow mornings, long swims, and floating breakfasts.

Rooftop terrace

A 360° rooftop for sunrise yoga, sunset cocktails, a bathtub under the stars, and the best sunset spot on the north coast.

Romantic by design

Built for one or a couple — the kind of place you don't want to leave.

The house

An architect's cabin in the trees, with the sea below.

As a tree house in North Bali, the Nest is a small, perfectly considered cabin lifted on stilts above Lovina’s gardens. Designed by an architect, it makes the most of every square metre — a calm bedroom, an ensuite bathroom, a deep balcony, and a rooftop terrace that opens to the sky.

From the balcony you watch fishing boats track across the bay. From the rooftop you see the volcano line of Java in the distance. Inside, natural materials, soft light and just enough furniture to feel uncluttered.

Most guests come for two nights and stay a week. It’s that kind of house.

The experience

A day, the Samastiti way.

The boat is waiting on the beach before sunrise — a short walk from the villa, a private cruise, no one else’s itinerary but yours. Dolphins surface alongside within the first half hour, and by the time you’re back on shore, breakfast is already cooked and waiting at the villa.

The afternoon is yours to spend further afield: a hot spring to soak in, a waterfall worth the short hike, a temple or two along the way. But come back in good time — the Nest’s terrace holds, by far, the best sunset view in all of Bali. Three hundred and sixty degrees of sea, rice fields and mountains, and on a clear day, the volcanoes of Java rising on the horizon.

The location

Lovina — above the village, beside the sea.

Set just above Temukus village beachfront, surrounded by lush agricultural gardens. Walk to the beach, drive to the town centre in minutes — and disappear into the canopy whenever you want to.

—— Short 1 minute walk to Temukus beach

The rooftop
A 360° rooftop terrace, just for you.
The rooftop is the heart of the Nest. Sunrise yoga, breakfast above the palms, sunset cocktails, the volcanoes of Java on the horizon. There’s a bathtub up here too — taking a bath perched high above the gardens, watching the stars come out, is something special. At night, the stars are extraordinary — the north coast has very little light pollution.

“The pictures of the Treehouse can’t come close to showing how beautiful, tranquil and unique it is. Kadek and team were extremely attentive — arranged a private dolphin tour and a driver for waterfalls and the Banjar Hot Springs. The floating breakfast was 10/10. A must stay if you’re visiting north Bali.”

Frequently asked

Planning your stay.

Is the Nest suitable for two?

Yes — it's designed as a romantic retreat for one or a couple. There is one bedroom and one bathroom.

What's the view like?

Panoramic — sea on one side, rice fields and gardens on the other. The rooftop terrace is the magic of the house.

Are there stairs to access it?

Yes — the Nest is on stilts, so you'll climb a flight of stairs to reach the main floor and another to the rooftop. It's part of the charm but not ideal for guests with mobility concerns.

Is the internet good enough to work?

Yes — there's reliable Wi-Fi suitable for video calls. The rooftop with a laptop is a popular morning office.

How does it compare to the Joglo by the Sea?

The Nest sits high above the sea with sweeping views and a rooftop terrace. The Joglo by the Sea is a single-storey antique joglo on the beachfront. Both sleep two — pick the one that matches your mood.

Do you share local tips?

Absolutely — every guest receives our personal guide with the best activities, hidden spots and restaurants in the area. Travel like a local.

Can children stay in the Nest

No, The Nest is adult only. Children are not allowed in the Nest for their own safety. Due to its design, children could fall. If you are travelling with children, check our other properties in North Bali

Can we combine the Nest with the beach house?

Yes. The Nest sits beside our Lovina beachfront estate, so you can combine it with Samastiti by the Beach and the Joglo by the Sea — together the three houses sleep up to 16, ideal for larger groups.

How far is the treehouse from Lovina beach?

Very close — it's a short one-minute walk down to Temukus beach in front of the Nest, and about a ten-minute drive to Lovina town centre.

Can I do a Dolphin trip in Lovina

Absolutely — you don't need to drive to Lovina. A local fisherman can pick up straight from the beach in front of the Nest
