The Palms Ceningan Hotel  

Perched on Ceningan Island’s cliff face, a family-friendly cliffside retreat minutes from the Yellow Bridge. About a mile from Mushroom Bay and a short drive to Gala-Gala Underground House and Mangrove Point. Big sea views and quick island access make it perfect for surf seekers and sunset chasers.

Rooms are simple and breezy with air conditioning, refrigerators, LCD TVs, minibars and private showers. The property boasts dramatic sea views and an infinity pool overlooking prime surf. An eco-conscious vibe runs through the place — single-use items are banned and recycling is encouraged.

Two outdoor pools including an infinity option, a poolside bar, and a diving club set the pace. Rent bikes, book island tours at the desk, or fire up the barbecue area. There’s a massage room and on-call doctor, a kids’ playroom, laundry and car-rental services, plus free self-parking. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and catch cliff-top sunsets.

Conference hall and meeting space for board meetings. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and shuttle options (area and airport shuttles available for a surcharge).

On-site restaurant and bar/lounge with a poolside option. Cooked-to-order breakfasts are served daily (7:30–10:30, for a fee), and limited-hour room service is available. Expect cocktails at sunset and a menu that leans into seafood — signature dishes include blackened mahi-mahi, seafood pizza and a Mexican selection, plus many vegetarian choices.
