Anne S., Melbourne (2024) "Jane has a fantastic ability to make people comfortable in a light-hearted way, but stay on track with their tasks. Would definitely recommend." Gay T, Perth. |

About Nalini
Far from the bustling tourist areas of southern Bali, the east coast township of Amed offers a more traditional and peaceful space in which to create. Your home away from home is the delightful Nalini Resort, where Balinese co-owners have created a stylish haven for those who value the community's strong connection to nature. Watch local fisherman take out their boats (there's always freshly caught fish on the menu at Nalini), or grab a snorkle and explore the clear, unspoilt waters just metres from your doorstep. |
