Kampung Sampireun - for my money, it is simply one of the best resorts in Indonesia – it is all about relaxation and indulgence of a gentler, more spiritual variety. Featuring charming thatched cottages hugging the banks of a delightful, small lake, Kampung Sampireun is the place to go if you're in need of some serious R&R.
With a deliciously cool climate - in fact, downright cold at night - none of the cottages have air-conditioning and none is needed as a gentle breeze continuously wafts off the lake, billowing out the flowing white drapes surrounding your bed and keeping the air fragrant with the scent of the myriad blossoms that provide such an unforgettable riot of color.
At night, the entire complex is illuminated softly by flickering kerosene torches and candles, making this undoubtedly one of the most romantic places.
It's the lake and the adjoining forest that makes it such a unique experience. With each cottage having its own private wooden jetty and rowing boat, the easiest way to travel around is by water, even room service is by canoe, although wandering along the paths through lush gardens, shaded by a forest of mature palms and grooves of mighty bamboos, is perhaps even more pleasurable.
All of the attached cottages are built in traditional Sundanese style, and are spacious, tastefully decorated and beautifully appointed. The smaller cottages, consisting of a large bed-sitting room and terraced veranda, are also known aptly as ""honeymoon lofts"". Couples can stay in all day and all night, having their meals and snacks delivered by discreet house-boys. Activities are limited as no radio or television sets are provided in the room.
They've also got a Taman Sari Royal Heritage Spa, capable of restoring even the most depleted of batteries, and set the muscles and skin tingling. If all that were not enough, there are superb walks through the surrounding paddyfields, stimulating hikes up into the forested hills, rafting on the Cimanuk river, batik-painting courses, and a host of other activities, both strenuous and not so strenuous, to keep young and old alike entertained.
What is special about the resort is the unique blend of local traditional Sudanese culture and the beautiful idyllic setting.

Enjoy the rest of the afternoon on your own and there will be an array of traditional afternoon snacks served at the restaurant. Room service is by canoe.
In the evening, you may arrange to have your first candlelight dinner in a floating bamboo raft, which sits out in the middle of the lake. You can order your dinner in advance, so when you are rowed out into the middle of the lake, your food awaits you. You are then served discreetly and left alone floating on your candlelit raft for what can only be described as an unforgettable dining experience.
