Just a short stroll from our property, this place is a must visit at any time of day but is particularly special for the sunset views. Delicious food, gorgeous pool, and spectacular views on top of the cliff, overlooking the magical Bingin Beach. You can go anytime and eat at the restaurant and use the pool (charge RP150k/pp) but from around 5:30-6:00 they fire up the seafood BBQ so make sure you get there in time to get a seat!

The famous Labuhan Sait Padang Padang beach is just a 4min scooter ride from Sampian Cottages. There's a small entry fee that helps cover the cost of maintaining the beach and keep the surrounds clean. To get to the beach you need to park up on the hill and then walk down through the cave - it's pretty cool. But watch out for monkeys on the way. They're usually pretty harmless and busy doing their own thing. We just say to just be alert and aware, be confident and keep moving, and don't try to get close to them.

Scooter Rental
Scooter rentals are a popular request and we can help you organise one. They start from Rp100,000/day for a Vario but the rate is subject to change based on season, demand, availability.
We just need to know the following information:
- Do you need a surfboard rack?
- What is the start and finish day/time? The rate is per day/24hr.
A note from us:
Please ensure you are comfortable on a motorbike/scooter before renting a bike.
We advise you to check the fine print on your insurance policy.
Always, ALWAYS wear a helmet.
Coutumes et culture
Respect the local culture
Bali, Island of the Gods, is a conservative culture. Please keep swimwear for the pool/beach and not while travelling around.
If you're visiting any temple, please wear appropriate clothing that covers your knees and shoulders. Menstruating women are not permitted to enter any temple (sorry).
Que faut-il apporter ?
Items to pack
A few items that we recommend for travel:
- compact umbrella, rain poncho (you never know when you'll need it!)
- ear plugs (to minimise the disturbance of any new noises - we all need our rest and being in a different environment can change things)
- paracetamol, vitamins, charcoal tablet in case of Bali belly
- flashlight (some streetlights are not effective, or in case of power outage)
- a smile :) and patience. Travelling can be one of life's greatest privileges and gifts but remember that you're in a new culture, where there are different customs and values. Respect is key.
Manières d'économiser
Gojek App (it's like Uber)
There is an app in Indonesia "Gojek" which we encourage you to download. It's a transport and food delivery service, similar to Uber.
Please note some areas in Bali (including inside Bingin) will not allow Gojek (or Grab which is similar) to pick up guests as each are has their own transport service (Bingin has 2). However, where we are located, its usually not an issue.
Using Gojek to drop you to our property, or deliver food (GoFood, GoShop), is not a problem and is a very affordable option.
