My husband and I stayed in Villa #7 to celebrate my 50th birthday, from 12th to 16th June, and it was truly a special and memorable experience. This was our first visit to Cempedak, and from the moment we arrived, everything was thoughtfully set up. The villa was beautiful, private, and perfectly designed for a relaxing island escape. A special thank you to Island Manager Jimmy and his wonderful team for their warm hospitality and exceptional service. Every meal that was served was absolutely delicious, and the attention to detail throughout our stay did not go unnoticed. One feature we particularly appreciated was the communication system via the iPad using iMessage. It was efficient, effective, and incredibly prompt, making every request effortless. During our stay, we enjoyed a nature walk, archery, snorkelling, kayaking and two rejuvenating massage sessions, all of which made our holiday even more memorable.

A perfect stay from start to finish. The food and hospitality were 10/10—no notes. I’m already adding the maple & raisin ice cream and the focaccia to my list of cravings! Most importantly, thank you for being part of our love story. This beautiful island will always hold a special place in our hearts as the place where we got engaged. We can’t wait to come back. A little disclaimer for future guests: because you’re truly immersed in nature, you might occasionally have a little visitor—a lizard, a bat, or a bird. That might not be for everyone, but we absolutely didn’t mind having a few wild friends around. If you’re a fellow nature lover, this is the perfect romantic getaway to disconnect, enjoy the child-free atmosphere, and truly be one with nature.

Our stay at Cempedak Island Resort was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely transported into a world of understated luxury, nature, and genuine warmth. The island itself is breathtaking—pristine beaches, beautifully designed villas, and an atmosphere that makes it effortless to slow down and truly unwind. What truly sets Cempedak apart, however, is its people. The level of care and attentiveness from the staff was exceptional and deeply personal. A special thank you to Ocha, Jaslan, Kem, Endang and Semuel, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Their kindness, professionalism, and intuitive understanding of what guests needed made us feel not just welcomed, but truly cared for. Every interaction felt sincere, never forced, and always thoughtful. Meals were outstanding, experiences were seamlessly arranged, and every detail—big or small—was handled with grace and precision. It’s rare to find a place that balances luxury with such authenticity and heart, and Cempedak does this effortlessly.Do take the cooking class if you have the opportunity to do so as the recipes are great! This is more than just a resort; it’s a place that stays with you long after you leave. We cannot wait to return and would wholeheartedly recommend Cempedak Island Resort to anyone seeking a truly special escape.
