Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, is an exclusive retreat in the heart of Bali that combines comfort, tradition, and respect for the environment
Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, embodies an exclusive retreat nestled in the Balinese jungle, founded on three key principles: connection with nature, discovery experience, and integration with the community. This resort is not just a place to stay but a true immersion into the local culture, where guests can engage with traditions and local people, participating in festivals and meetings with shamans. Through the innovative concept of “no doors, no walls,” the resort promotes a direct connection with the surrounding environment, offering an experience that blends relaxation, culture, and unique activities.
Architecture and sustainable luxury
Buahan has created a luxurious experience focused on environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Prior to construction, the team conducted a four-month study to explore the local culture and environment. In collaboration with architect Gede Kresna from Rumah Intaran, the resort harmoniously blends into the natural landscape, encouraging guests to tune into the rhythms of nature. With 16 luxurious villas, an open-air spa, and communal spaces that promote social interaction, Buahan offers an unforgettable experience, with each villa featuring a private pool and relaxation areas nestled in greenery.
An Enchanting location
Nestled in the secluded jungle of Bali’s central highlands, near Ubud, Buahan offers breathtaking views of Bali’s seven peaks and easy access to jungle trails and waterfalls. With a complimentary shuttle service, guests can reach Ubud in just 40 minutes. Each villa, or “bale,” is designed to reflect traditional Indonesian design combined with functional and innovative elements, ensuring the perfect blend of comfort and guaranteed luxury.
Staying in Community
The social hub of the resort is the Living Room, a gathering space that promotes connection between guests and the community. Next to this area, the Open Kitchen offers a unique culinary journey, where guests can learn traditional recipes and savor dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients, thanks to the restaurant’s “farm-to-table” approach.
Commitment to wellness and sustainability
The Toja Spa offers treatments inspired by nature and the surrounding environment, using natural and local products. Buahan is also committed to reducing its environmental impact through zero-waste policies and initiatives to protect biodiversity, such as the conservation of fireflies.
A connection with the local culture
Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, not only offers a luxurious stay but also dedicates itself to fostering a deeper connection with the local community and environment by reinvesting profits into initiatives that support farmers and promote the island’s cultural heritage. Guests are invited to actively participate in experiences that highlight Balinese tradition, creating a positive impact on the local community.
Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, thus exemplifies how luxury can coexist with sustainability, offering an enchanting retreat for those seeking an authentic and immersive experience in Bali.
