The Asa Maia - Adults Only Resort

This hotel has a unique family vibe, creating a community of guests. Hot and cold water tubes are an absolute must-visit. Wooden interior of suits is also amazing

On the surface The Asa Maia is a small relaxed-luxury boutique resort, with 10 beautiful rustic yet immaculate villas in converted antique timber houses from Java. There is a generous saltwater swimming pool, a large communal dining table where the chefs serve locally grown organic food and sustainably fished seafood and various spots with comfortable sofas for lazy lounging. Then there is the extraordinary attention to detail, like soft Belgian linen sheets and large windows with leafy views in what would otherwise be dark antique houses from Java. Add the thoughtful touches like fresh Jamu and ginger lemonade in your personal fridge every day and a truly wonderful team who remember everyone’s name and favorite breakfast/coffee/drink. With its twice daily yoga/movement classes, daily hot/cold contrast therapy and 1:1 breathwork sessions The Asa Maia crosses the threshold from boutique resort to wellness retreat. And yet, the experience of staying at The Asa Maia is somehow more than even all these good things. We didn’t meet Martha, the creator and owner of The Asa Maia as she was overseas. Daniela, the incredible human who was our physical guide through a week of movement and stillness, shared a little about Martha’s journey from disease to true health. The Asa Mair feels like Martha’s gift to the world in gratitude for her own healing. We found it to be a profound and extraordinary place of restoration and revitalization. With deep gratitude to: Martha, Daniela, Marylin, Axel, Tanti, Arja, Indra, Sandy, Nila, Priscilla, Agus, Lena, Giri, Ayu, Koji and the rest of the beautiful team at The Asa Maia. We will be back.
