Welcome to Great Mountain Views
Great Mountain Views (GMV) is a one-of-a-kind nature resort near Sidemen, Bali.
Established in 2008, our resort offers spectacular views of Mount Agung, Bali’s most important mountain and home to the island’s main temple complex, Besakih.
GMV is a unique resort and the perfect base for exploring Bali’s beautiful natural environment and culture. The tranquillity and charm of GMV’s location, immersed in the Balinese countryside, is the perfect accompaniment to the spectacular views of Mount Agung.
GMV is surrounded by traditional rice fields, yet our 8 villas (housing 12 rooms) – all with private verandas or balconies facing the mountain – offer all the comfort and facilities the modern holidaymaker expects.
Whether you’re seeking peace and quiet or an adventure-packed holiday, GMV is your perfect base for exploring East Bali in all its natural beauty.
A big thank you to all our wonderful customers
EXCELLENT Based on 142 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor SCM1975Verified Leuke overnachting in mooie omgeving Hartelijke ontvangst bij de receptie, goed om hier de excursies te boeken. Nadeel het ligt echt buiten Sidemen dus kan je gebruik maken van taxi service (20 euro retour). Personeel horeca ook lief maar het blijft een ding om het bestelde eten tegelijkertijd op tafel te krijgen en warm. Bar gedeelte wat vies zoals de koelkast maar huisjes weer top!Posted on Tripadvisor Susan HVerified Getting there is an Adventure Great Mountain Views Villa Resort Getting There Is an Adventure If you truly want to experience the real, untouched Bali, you must include a stay at Great Mountain Views Villa Resort in Sidemen. Getting there is an adventure in itself — winding mountain roads, lush jungle, and glimpses of village life along the way — but every turn brings you closer to something extraordinary. And then you arrive… and it is absolutely heaven on earth. Perched on the edge of endless rice terraces, this resort takes relaxation and breathtaking views to the next level. The scenery feels almost unreal — layers upon layers of vibrant green fields stretching toward the horizon, with the majestic Mount Agung rising in the distance. Watching the light shift across the mountain throughout the day is an experience in itself. The villas are peaceful and beautifully positioned to take full advantage of the landscape. It is the kind of place where time slows down, where you sip your morning coffee in silence except for birds and distant farm sounds, and where the world feels wonderfully far away. The staff are warm, friendly, and genuinely courteous. Their kindness enhances the entire experience and makes you feel not just like a guest, but like someone truly welcomed. Great Mountain Views Villa Resort is a true hidden gem — a place for those who want authenticity, tranquility, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t need a filter. Getting there is an adventure… but staying there is pure magic. 🌿Posted on Tripadvisor Paul BVerified Serenity Now If you want, Bali serenity and amazing staff, this is the place for you, never felt more relaxed in Bali than here. I suggest that you check in turn your phone off and unwind, no offensively loud scooters or traffic. I so love this place, ohh and the views are mesmerising. Do your self a favour and get the premium rooms as the are stunning.Posted on Tripadvisor clarinetto mVerified Wohnen in der Natur: Bambusvilla mit traumhaftem Blick Man wohnt inmitten der Natur: Abseits vom touristischen Rummel liegt dieses Resort inmitten von herrlichen Reisfeldern mit freiem Blick auf den Mt. Agung - morgens meist wolkenlos. Das freundliche Personal serviert das leckere indonesische Frühstück auf der Terrasse der Villa ebenso Lunch oder Dinner: kleine Auswahl, aber wohlschmeckend. Dort in Karangasem ist es kühler, die Bambusvilla ist gut durchlüftet, Bad und WC sind getrennt. Ein bequemes Bett mit Moskitonetz schützt auch vor Geckos, mit denen man sich abends angeregt unterhalten kann. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten des Ostens der Insel sind gut erreichbar, der Hotelier ist hilfsbereit und aufmerksam. Ich habe den Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen!Posted on Tripadvisor Frédéric HVerified 5 jours donc un de trop car pas grand chose à faire à sidemen Hôtel sur le déclin et restaurant sans goût sans originalité. Tout cela est heureusement compensé par une vue à couper le souffle sur le volcan, la forêt et une rizière magnifique. Très belles promenades à proximité. personnel aimable et joyeux. Ouf !Posted on Tripadvisor Lonneke FVerified Droomplek in het echte Bali Wij sliepen in de melati villa. Een prachtige bamboo villa met zicht op de vulkaan. Heerlijke buitendouche, goed bed met klamboe. Genoten van de prachtige rijstvelden. Mooie wandelpaden. Klein dorpje met supermarkt om de hoek. Scooters werden vlot geregeld. Fijn restaurant met een eenvoudige maar lekkere kaart. Zouden hier zeker weer heen gaan!Posted on Tripadvisor Christophe TVerified Déçu malgré la vue Superbe vue mais hôtel;un peu vétuste loin de tout, restaurant cher et idem pour activités proposées. Rapport qualité prix pas intéressant. Vue sur les rizières et mont agung a tomber. A part cela c’est une déception. Si vs voulez faire un break pourquoi pas mais c’est toutPosted on Tripadvisor Julien MVerified Not 5 stars due to service Great and quiet environment, far from the excessively crowded other areas of Bali. But not deserving 5 stars because of the limited staff service quality. - Not willing to help us find a taxi (except their own over-expensive driver service) - Scooters location expensive and with unfair conditions - hôtel restaurant service Veeeery long....Posted on Tripadvisor Chris RVerified Best Mountain View Resort A very nice view! With a cheap restaurant that is tasty! You don't have a large room, but you do have wonderful sleeping beds! The bathroom is a bit outdated, but the water from the shower is wonderfully warm! But the view is what it's all about. And that is phenomenal!Posted on Tripadvisor AnnMelbVerified A room with a view What a lovely find this place is! Amazing views of Mt Agung - make sure you get up early for sunrise - comfy villa-style rooms in a stunning setting surrounded by rice fields; friendly staff. Plenty of activities nearby including white water rafting, trekking Mt Agung or Batur or even visiting the local spiritual man. Or you can just chill by the pool and wonder at the scenery. We visited the stunning Bali Asli for lunch, which is pretty close by. Incredible food Ave decor. Our rooms were $60 and $70 each including breakfast. Great value.
What Is GMV?
Great Mountain Views Villa Resort (GMV) features 12 rooms, all of them provided with en-suite bathrooms and private verandas facing the mountain. We offer four types of villas – Melati, Frangipani, Jasmine, and Lotus – and several room types (twin, double, triple, and family).
Our Melati and Frangipani Villas boast spectacular panoramic views of Mt Agung, while our Jasmine and Lotus Villas offer beautiful vistas of our luscious Balinese garden.
The resort also features an attractive, Balinese-style restaurant and two pagodas for private dining. Guests are welcome to enjoy their breakfast (included in the price of the room) on their own, private veranda, or in the restaurant.
Being at GMV means living close to nature. Our garden is laid out with many types of flowers and trees, and the resort borders on traditional rice fields and a fruit plantation.
We were very fortunate in that GMV was built on land bordering the rice fields. This enables us to enjoy the stunning views of these rice fields (which form part of a UNESCO world heritage site) without being detrimental to them.

Dining at Great Mountain Views
We believe our restaurant is home to some of the finest views of Mount Agung in Bali – but please judge for yourself.
Our spacious, child-friendly, half-open onsite restaurant serves a delightful selection of Indonesian and local Balinese cuisine, as well as some Western dishes. We also offer a variety of tasty vegetarian and vegan dishes and can cater to most dietary needs. Where possible, we source our ingredients locally – many of them are either hand-picked from our own garden or bought at the local market.
Enjoy memorable mealtimes and stunning vista as you savour some delicious dishes at Paon Gunung Agung (Great Mountain’s Kitchen). Diners can also appreciate the sight of the rice fields adjacent to the resort, where farmers may be working the land. On a clear day, our dining guests may even be treated to truly awe-inspiring views of Mt Agung.
