The north-east coast of Buleleng is the side of Bali with almost no noise: an empty coastal road, fishing boats and volcanic black sand. In Dusun Tegal Sumaga, Tejakula, Gaia-Oasis Retreat-Resort runs two properties at once — one on the shore of the Bali Sea, one on a forested slope — along with a four-hectare organic garden and a foundation that works for the surrounding village.
Two Locations, One Resort
- Pantai Beach Resort — about one hectare right on the shoreline, with 11 bungalows of bamboo, timber and natural stone under alang-alang grass roofs, open-air bathrooms and the Lotus Pool for a swim under the night sky.
- Abasan Mountain Retreat — six bungalows scattered across four hectares, plus a guesthouse with six ensuite rooms, a salt-water pool and a dining terrace looking over a green valley beside the village forest.
- The two sit about 15 minutes apart by road and a free shuttle runs for guests who want both moods.
Two Spas, Yoga and a Garden Kitchen
- Pantai Wellness Centre and Abasan Rainforest Spa offer South East Asian, Indian and Western-inspired treatments — from a single hour to full-day packages.
- The octagonal Diamond Seminar House, 140 sqm with mats and meditation cushions, hosts yoga, meditation and group retreats.
- Three daily buffets are largely vegetarian and draw on the resort’s own organic garden; fresh ocean fish is served at Pantai and chicken can be ordered 24 hours ahead.
- Balinese coffee, tea and mineral water are available all day at no extra charge.
Access, Cost and Best Timing
- Roughly 2.5–3 hours from Ngurah Rai Airport, 1–1.5 hours from Lovina and 2–2.5 hours from Ubud. The resort can arrange pick-up through the village drivers’ cooperative.
- Published rates on the official site run about Rp600,000–1.5 million per room per night; the Abasan guest rooms are the most affordable, the Pantai bungalows the priciest.
- A full board meal plan costs around Rp400,000 per person per day. Children under 3 stay free, ages 3–14 pay half price.
- Come April to October, when the northern sea is calmest. Bring insect repellent, walking sandals and a small torch — the bungalows are deliberately air-conditioning free and the garden paths deliberately dim.

Gaia-Oasis suits anyone who wants Bali at half speed: waking to the surf, breakfasting on garden vegetables, then choosing between a massage by the sea or one at the forest edge. Plan at least three nights so the long drive north pays off — and compare prices and book your stay voucher on AccessiaPass before you go.
