Where inspiration meets tranquillity. Each of our 12 studios features a dedicated, sunlit alcove—designed for those who demand high aesthetic standards alongside seamless productivity.
Inside the studios
Sink into supreme comfort. Our studios feature premium queen-sized beds draped in high-thread-count linens, designed to provide deeply restorative sleep after a day in the Bali sun.
Every element is chosen with intention. From the robes waiting in your studio to the carefully considered desk, experience a tactile richness that turns simple moments into rituals.
The essence of Balinese luxury. Our signature outdoor bathrooms harmonise complete privacy with the raw beauty of nature, allowing you to shower under the tropical sun or the evening stars, in complete privacy.
Guests, architects and photographers tell us the same thing: it is the small details. Hand-finished walls in warm, sun-washed tones. Curved, softly lit mirrors. Timber, rattan and linen. Bougainvillea climbing the facades, and a pool designed to be looked at as much as swum in.
Every inch of Nema was made with intention, which is why so many creators, photographers and stylish travellers come here to shoot. Bring your camera; the light does the rest.

A short walk down the local pathway to Thomas Beach for an early swim on a mid-to-high tide.
Brunch at Suka Espresso, three minutes on foot, then your sunlit work nook and 50 Mbps fibre Wi‑Fi.
Float on the beach ledge of the 16m pool, or ride three minutes to the waves at Padang Padang.
Live music at Single Fin, four minutes away, or the Kecak fire dance at Uluwatu Temple as the sun goes down.
Back through the gate, Uluwatu's bustle falls away. Blackout curtains, cool linen, deep sleep.
Some days you want to be completely alone. Most days you simply want to be around people. With just a handful of studios around one pool, Nema lives in that gentle middle: a nod over morning coffee, a quiet chat on the sunbeds, and a door that closes whenever you want it to.
It is the thing solo travellers tell us they value most. A standalone villa can be beautiful and strangely isolating, with no one to ask for directions, a dinner tip or a driver. Here, our team is on hand day and night, and familiar faces are never far away.
Since we opened, the comment we hear most often from women travelling alone is simple: “I felt safe here.” Discreet 24/7 security and a 24-hour front desk are part of it. Just as important, you never need a scooter. The beach, YUKI, Kynd and dozens of cafes and restaurants are a short walk away, so you never need a scooter at night.

The dry season, roughly April to October, brings the most sunshine, and July and August are the busiest months. April to June and September to October are quieter with excellent weather. November to March is the wet season: rain usually comes in short afternoon bursts, the pool stays warm, and rates are at their lowest apart from Christmas and New Year. Read our month-by-month guide.

Yes. Nema is design-led, and guests, architects and photographers often remark on the small details: hand-finished walls, curved mirrors, warm timber and bougainvillea climbing the facades. Every corner of the property works as a backdrop, which is why so many creators come to shoot. For commercial or brand shoots, contact us first.
Nema. Uluwatu is a small boutique hotel, not a private villa or an apartment block: 12 private studios set around one shared 16m pool and garden, with a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping and on-site security. Each studio has its own queen bed, work nook and outdoor bathroom. Some booking sites list it as an aparthotel or serviced apartment because there is no restaurant on site.
