Kintamani is not just another stop in Bali, it’s the island’s elevated heart, where cool mountain air, volcanic grandeur, and cultural soul converge. For those seeking a Kintamani hotel and restaurant that offer more than just views, Desa Oculus and its signature dining destinations, Kaki Gunung Restaurant and Kedisan Lounge, present a soulful highland retreat like no other.
Stay at Desa Oculus: A Kintamani Hotel of Purpose and Panorama
Carved into the volcanic slopes of Mount Batur, Desa Oculus offers a stay that is deeply rooted in place and spirit. This isn’t just a hotel in Kintamani, it’s a pause from the noise, a sacred space to reconnect.
Blending the legacy of Bali Aga culture with sustainable, conscious design, Desa Oculus stands out among Kintamani hotels as a place where serenity and soul are part of the architecture.
What Sets Desa Oculus Apart:
- Unparalleled Views: Mount Batur and Lake Batur from your own private balcony
- Wellness Sanctuary: Restore at Danu Spa, inspired by the purifying energy of the lake
- Heated Infinity Pool: Float amidst the clouds with uninterrupted highland views
- Cultural Proximity: Near sacred sites like Pura Ulun Danu Batur, Trunyan Village, and local artisan communities
Room Options:
- Suite Mountain View (2 units) – Bold volcanic landscapes meet warm interiors
- Summit & Panorama Suites (8 units) – Wall-to-wall glass for sunrise and starlight immersion
- Deluxe Lake View Rooms (10 units) – Wake up with calm, shimmering lake energy
Dine at Kaki Gunung: A Kintamani Restaurant Rich in Taste and Culture
Nestled within the same serene grounds, Kaki Gunung Restaurant is not just about eating, it’s about remembering where flavor comes from.
Highlighting authentic Indonesian cuisine from across the archipelago, this restaurant in Kintamani delivers dishes full of heart, heat, and heritage. From fiery Sumatran rendang to earthy Javanese stews and aromatic Balinese herbs, every meal reconnects you with the land.
Why Kaki Gunung Stands Out:
- Archipelago-Inspired Cuisine: Taste the diversity of Indonesia in one place
- Farm-to-Table Ethos: Ingredients sourced locally from the fertile Kintamani highlands
- Dining with a View: Lake and volcano vistas from every seat
- Weekend Cultural Vibes: Artisan pop-ups, acoustic sessions, and special menus
- Opening Hours: Daily from 6 AM – 10 PM
