About Sleeping Gajah Kitchen & Lounge

Perched above the Unda River in Sidemen, this open-air pavilion frames terraced green valleys with thoughtful Balinese cooking. Diners linger over fragrant arak cocktails during the sunset happy hour, while the kitchen modifies recipes with ease for severe nut allergies and gluten-free plates. Daytime visitors pair pool passes with loungers by the infinity deck, ordering beef rendang and crisp duck alongside warm sambal.

  • Sunset Happy Hour: 2-for-1 valley cocktail pours run from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM as the sun dips below the terraces.
  • Allergy-Aware Kitchen: Staff cross-check allergy cards and tailor dishes for severe nut and gluten restrictions.
  • Day Pass Pool Access: Non-hotel guests can grab swimming pool sunbeds paired with poolside lunch service.
