This unique feng shui
boutique hotel was designed by international
best-selling author, Karen Kingston, entirely according to Balinese and
universal Feng Shui principles. It
is the first hotel of its kind to be built in Bali, and
is in a class of its own in the East Bali area.
LOCATION
Situated on Amed Beach, the hotel is in a peaceful, rural location, commanding
magnificent ocean views. It is
at the opposite end of the island to where bomb blasts
have
occurred.
Amed is one of Bali's newest and most sought after tourist destinations,
known for its superb snorkelling and diving, and also as a honeymooners'
paradise and romantic getaway. It's also near Mount Agung, the tallest,
most sacred and most majestic of Bali's mountains.
The
natural ambiance of Dancing Dragon Cottages
allows you to totally unwind and revitalize
at the deepest levels of your being
FENG SHUI DESIGN
Feng Shui is the art of balancing, harmonizing and enhancing the flow of
natural energies in our surroundings. You'll find here an example of
feng shui it its best, purposely designed to nurture your spirit, delight
your senses, and gladden your heart. Many of our guests come simply
to experience this effect.
The structure of the buildings, the layout of the gardens, the shape of
the pool, the placement of furniture - all combine to create a unique appeal.

The
inspiring architecture features elegant use
of local building materials to blend in with
the environment, beautiful hand-carved wooden
features, sweeping contours, and curved corners
in all rooms
Our
oceanside restaurant and bar has earned popular reviews for
its artful cuisine, offering a wide choice of Indonesian
and international recipes, prepared to a high standard
with fresh local ingredients
DANCING DRAGON RESTAURANT has a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and great food. The international and Balinese menu, created by a top Australian chef, caters for all tastes. The restaurant is open to hotel guests and to outside guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Unlike most other restaurants in Bali, no MSG is added to the sauces at Dancing Dragon Restaurant and no food is heated by 'nuking' it in microwave ovens. Flavours are created using culinary skills and fresh organic herbs grown on the premises.
For group events, a large restaurant can be opened on the lower floor of the hotel's Bali Mandala conference center, which has panoramic ocean views.
We have:
illy coffee
hot chocolate
organic salads
daily fresh baked bread
and more...

GUEST COMMENTS "I
absolutely loved your property. It is the most relaxing place that I have ever stayed at. I had just finished escorting 12 ladies around Bali so was in need of a few days to re-energize myself...and that's exactly what happened.
My room was so peaceful and I especially liked sitting on the terrace, enjoying the tropical vegetation and the ocean beyond. The restaurant was also a pleasant surprise - very refreshing and such great food."
~ Cathy G., Canada (travel agent)
SNORKELLING & DIVING
IN AMED Indonesia has the most biodiverse coral reefs on earth with more than 2500
fish species, 3200 molluscs and 500 species of coral. Ideal for new
and experienced snorkellers and divers alike.
You can enjoy wonderful coral reef snorkelling in shallow
waters just 10 meters from our beach (we have snorkelling
equipment available to hire) or we can arrange for
you to take shipwreck diving trips with experienced
PADI instructors.
Guest comments Having dived all over the world the pristine nature of the coral in the Japanese Gardens is delightful. The waters around Amed are in near perfect condition. The range of delicate corals and the abundance of fish life is unparalleled and I hope that any divers or snorkelers are careful to preserve this haven (if not heaven) for coral.
- Anthony M., USA
The snorkelling at the hotel was wonderful. Never having snorkelled before, I was amazed at how beautiful it is. - Janice P., USA

Having lunch and watching dolphins go by is magical. The pool is excellent and the staff are so wonderful.
Totally memorable time. Every bit as good as we hoped. Staying only one day was too short. Hope to be back. – Juliet & Anthony
We just stayed one day but it was wonderful. The room was excellent, just like the service. We will recommend this hotel to everybody. Dinner was also very good, especially the chicken with cashew nuts. Nice and spicy. – Greetings from Holland
I enjoyed the atmosphere – quiet, relaxed, harmonious and the more than friendly welcoming staff. I cannot image another place where we could so easily be on familiar terms with the staff. The place is really nicely taken care of. Great food – delicious and good quality ingredients. Very trustworthy and good drivers. And a lot more. A heart-opening place. – Clara (Austria)
I had a wonderful stay. Dancing Dragon has excellent food and service. I swam and snorkeled every day, enjoying the variety of fish on the reef right in front of the hotel.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Dancing Dragon Cottages because the room is clean and space cleared and the staff are kind and friendly. I was amazed they remembered all the guests by their first names. Thank you very much for your great hospitality. – Misato (Hong Kong)
We had a wonderful time with the staff here. We snorkeled off a jukung boat and had a good look around. Great food, great view and great sleep.
Peaceful and charming. We will be back. – S.S. (Australia)
