Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, Bali

For travellers searching for a luxury glamping experience in Bali that combines wellness, sustainability and authentic cultural immersion, Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape offers something truly extraordinary. Nestled high in the lush rainforest of central Bali, this adults-only sanctuary invites guests to leave behind the distractions of everyday life and reconnect with nature in one of Indonesia's most breathtaking settings.

Recognised by the Asia Pacific Outdoor Lodging Association as the Asia Pacific Glamping Experience of the Month for August 2026, Buahan redefines luxury by removing traditional barriers between guests and the natural environment. Here, there are no walls, no doors and no unnecessary interruptions—just panoramic rainforest views, mountain landscapes and exceptional Balinese hospitality.

Why Buahan is One of Bali's Most Unique Glamping Destinations

Located in the peaceful highlands of Payangan, just north of Ubud, Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape is surrounded by tropical rainforest and offers spectacular views of seven mountain peaks. Every villa has been thoughtfully designed with open-air architecture that allows guests to fully embrace the sights, sounds and gentle breezes of Bali's untouched wilderness.

Rather than simply providing luxury accommodation, Buahan delivers an immersive experience where wellness, local culture and environmental stewardship are woven into every aspect of a stay.

The peaceful atmosphere makes it an ideal destination for couples, honeymooners and travellers seeking relaxation, mindfulness and meaningful travel experiences.

A Hidden Paradise Near Ubud

Although Buahan feels wonderfully remote, it is surprisingly easy to reach. The retreat is approximately 90 minutes by road from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, with private airport transfers available for guests.

Its location provides convenient access to Bali's cultural heart while allowing visitors to escape the crowds and enjoy complete tranquillity surrounded by nature.

Experience the Soul of Bali

One of the highlights of staying at Buahan is the opportunity to participate in experiences inspired by traditional Balinese philosophy and local customs.

Guests are encouraged to begin their journey with the Soul Freedom Journey, a deeply personal ritual designed to promote reflection, balance and inner wellbeing.

Food lovers can then join the Jungle Cooking experience at the Dukuh Asri Regenerative Centre. Guests harvest seasonal produce directly from the gardens before preparing an authentic farm-to-table meal alongside members of the local community. This hands-on activity provides valuable insight into traditional Balinese farming, cooking techniques and sustainable living.

As evening falls, the Moon Meditation and Fire Ritual offers a peaceful conclusion to the day. Surrounded by the sounds of the rainforest and illuminated by the night sky, this calming ceremony allows guests to reconnect with themselves and nature in a truly memorable setting.

A Culinary Journey Through Authentic Balinese Flavours

Guests can enjoy freshly caught fish slow-cooked inside bamboo over charcoal, succulent pork skewers served with sambal plecing, crispy free-range duck, seasonal garden vegetables and a selection of traditional Balinese accompaniments.

To finish, the refreshing coconut dessert Es Kuud Bali provides the perfect tropical finale.

Every meal reflects the property's commitment to supporting local farmers while showcasing the authentic flavours of Bali.

Sustainable Luxury That Protects Nature

Buahan demonstrates that luxury tourism and environmental responsibility can successfully coexist.
