Who fits where at Samabe Bali Suites & Villas
All 6 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.
| Suite | Occupancy | Size | Bedrooms | Aspect |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ocean Front Samabe Suite | Sleeps 3 | 1,453 ft²135 m² | 1 bedroom | Oceanfront |
| Ocean Front Samabe Pool Suite | Sleeps 3 | 1,938 ft²180 m² | 1 bedroom | Oceanfrontprivate pool |
| Garden Pool Villa | Sleeps 3 | Not published | 1 bedroom | Gardenprivate pool |

| Penthouse Ocean View Pool Villa | Sleeps 5 | Not published | 1 bedroom | Oceanprivate pool |
| Two Bedroom Ocean Pool Villa | Sleeps 5 | Not published | 2 bedrooms | Oceanprivate pool |
Occupancy is the maximum published occupancy including rollaways, not comfortable occupancy. Categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.

Before you book
Eight things the research turned up about Samabe Bali Suites & Villas that the brochure does not say, from 702 guest reviews read end to end.
Samabe should be classified as optional all-inclusive because the official site also offers hotel-only booking while promoting the Unlimited Privileges package.
This is one of Bali's stronger true luxury all-inclusive-style products, especially for travelers who want to stay on-property.
The resort is better for privacy, butler service, romance and villa space than for nightlife.
Hidden tips
Compare hotel-only versus Unlimited Privileges pricing if you plan to eat off-property in Nusa Dua or elsewhere in Bali.
Private-pool suites can offer a strong middle ground before paying for a full villa.
Things guests wish they had known
Samabe sells both hotel-only and all-inclusive-style packages, so the booked package matters.
The luxury all-inclusive model is unusually broad for Bali, but Bali has many off-property dining options.
Beach access is part of a clifftop resort setting rather than a flat beach-resort layout.

The rate, and where to check it
A checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. Here is the stay we price.
This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.
We can place the reservation through an accredited travel agency partner. There is no separate fee for using us, and the resort looks after your stay once it is booked. If you book this way the resort pays us a commission. You are not charged a separate fee. How we are paid.
