Sometimes, true luxury means getting away from it all. Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, is set in the unspoiled highlands of northern Ubud. The immersive retreat has a “no walls, no doors” concept, featuring 16 open-air bales (villas) with 180-degree views of the jungle and mountain peaks, each with a private pool.
At the heart of the resort is a two-story pavilion and a dreamy infinity pool that juts into the valley. Buahan's design resulted from a five-year research project by Banyan Tree, studying its impact on the local community. As a result, guests are offered a rare immersion into the Balinese way of life by exploring local rituals and connecting with the natural environment.
The hotel’s on-site restaurant, The Open Kitchen, sources nearly all ingredients from within an hour’s drive, further enhancing the authenticity of your stay at Buahan.
