Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape

The 3 night experience in this property was nothing short of stunning and highly memorable. Only 16 villas hidden from each other in the hillside, a narrow stone winding path, open “villas” with no walls in the “jungle” overlooking the lush green hillside. Impossible to describe the experience of sitting in sheltered comfort with open walls while its raining outside or falling asleep listening to the insects in the forest around you or waking up at daylight to birds. Almost feels like glamping in the hillside forest in open wall wooden huts instead of tents. We went in the rainy season so I was a little worried since we had heavy downpours almost every day, but had no rain some into the open villa/room at all. Impeccable service. Great spa experience (try a 30 minute foot massage in your room). Multi-course dinner every night. I think it’s best to come here at the end of your trip in Bali after you have done all the sightseeing so that you can just relax and soak in the experience instead of driving around to complete your tourist checklist. Highly recommended for anyone looking for some quiet “away” time in nature (I believe no children are allowed). We stayed in Villa 3

Peaceful, luxurious and Stunning. This hotel offers everything you need to just switch off. The views are incredible. We had an amazing villa with a heated swimming pool. The food was outstanding and the service impeccable. The entire staff looked after us and remembered our names and choices with each interaction. We felt special. Thank you.

Brilliant stay. Have visited Ubud multiple times but never this hilly area where the Banyan tree is located. Beautiful entrance , wonderful reception by Bintan. The beautiful large villa with a heated pool was one of the finest i have ever stayed in. The valley bale is worth the upgrade. We did not draw the curtains at night and had the most glorious morning. The villa ameneties were pretty amazing too. The two butlers arda and buddi were amazing at their job. Super informative and polite. Olive who served us dinner was super pleasant too. The only downer was the incessant rain which did not let our bonfire light. Thank you ni putu dian purnama sari for seeing us off. Intend to come back for a longer stint.

I was lucky enough to stay at this hotel, and it truly is the most unusual hotel I've ever experienced. Firstly, the villa is very beautiful, with an incredible view. The staff is very polite, and I especially want to thank Arsan. The food was delicious, as was their local alcoholic drink, Baligroni. 10/10
