From the moment of arrival, we felt instantly relaxed and excited to begin our holiday. It was lovely chatting to the Resort Manager Puspa and hearing stories about the Buahan journey thus far from an insider's point of view. Buahan's commitment to sustainability, fostering community and encouraging guests to be at one with nature are highly commendable. For us it's the amazing people, exceptional food and unique experiences that made our stay truly wonderful and unforgettable. A special mention goes to De Gus, our host who was professional, friendly, engaging and always anticipated our needs. On numerous occasions he went out his way to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Special thanks to Chef Eka and Chef Agus for the mouth watering meals they prepared for us. We love the concept of 70% plant based, and also the opportunity to go foraging for ingredients, we have learnt so much! A few tips and must do's to share based on our experience: - Tjampuhan Waterfall Trek --> Descend down gravel pathways and you'll be rewarded with Buahan's own private waterfall, beautiful and mesmerising. - Pop-up lunch at Tegal Dukuh, Taro Village --> The perfect blend of culture, adventure, education and of course, delicious food. - Yoga @ the Pavilion --> Best way to start your day, breathe in the peace and tranquility, practising yoga amongst the lush forest and greenery. - Cocktail hour @ Botanist Bar --> Enjoy the 'Salak' Cocktail (whiskey sour with a Buahan twist!) during sunset - Subak Buahan Trek --> A delightful trek exploring local plants and flora, finishing with a stroll through paddy rice fields. Last but not least, if you're reading this review and researching a resort to stay at in Bali, look no further and book Buahan - it is truly one of a kind, an experience like no other!

Wish we could have stayed longer!

The property location was incredible! True story- we had booked only one night and was moving to another location , after we arrived at Buahan Banyan Tree my wife and I looked at each other and at the same time said "we aren't leaving this place!" We cancelled the other hotel! The Buahan villas were incredible! Only 16 villas, so very private. The staff greets you by name! Our private concierge, De Gus was always available to answer any questions, help with tours, and make our stay as comfortable as possible. There is a private waterfall on the property, so beautiful! All the food is sourced from the resort gardens or local suppliers. Villas are open air but the curtains close around the rooms and the bed giving you privacy. The bed has its own a/c system for you if you're concerned about the jungle temps!

Nothing! Literally liked everything about the resort. You must be patient with the 2+ hour drive from the Bali airport, but so worth the effort. Ok... Buahan, Banyan Tree is a splurge but you will not regret spending your hard earned money at this resort!

The great welcoming service, and the nice atmosphere of the place

Season change causes many insects to escape the jungle and come into in the room. However, they provide you with shades to cover your bedroom and also you get an Insect spray if you request

This hotel was one of my favorite stays throughout my travels! The Hotel is nestled into an expansive lush jungle with nothing as far as the eyes can see. It is secluded and far away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist hotspots in Bali, and I could not be happier with my selection. The staff were absolutely fantastic too! They were friendly, attentive and a joy to deal with. The villas are stunningly beautiful and seamlessly blend into the surrounding greenery.

The only thing that I would change is the bedding. It needed a refresh.

A dog came to my room at dawn and its barking disturbed us they didn’t, but brush teeth

This property was absolutely amazing. Being in the heart of the jungle was such a unique experience and Banyan Tree Escape made our first trip to Bali so memorable. The staff was what made this experience so dear to our heart. Our host, De Gus, went above and beyond to make us feel at home and even assisted with setting up our proposal. It was perfect!! The staff at the spa were exceptional and even management took a moment to introduce themselves to us and congratulate us on our engagement. We simply cannot recommend this property enough!

You have to be ok with bugs in the surrounding area. After all, you are in the jungle :)

Buahan by Banyan Tree is a wonderful escape into nature whilst allowing us to feel right at home. The resort rooms and premise are spectacular, as it made us feel to be at one with the nature surrounding it. What made this experience even more outstanding was the attentive staff which were prompt to help with any query or doubts we may have had at any time. Upon making special requests or last minute arrangements, Widi would always provide detailed and personalised help, which made the stay magical as we felt we had a close friend always helping us throughout our stay.

Buahan gives a completely new perspective in a hotel stay (a modern take on a traditional Balinese house) while giving you a true experience of the culture and appreciation of nature and wilderness. You won't leave without learning something about yourself. It is an escape with an open, breathtaking view of the world like no other, an elegantly designed room using natural materials for construction and furnishing, with hospitality that is genuine and warm, and cultivated foods to detoxify your body and soul. I could only dream of a place like this away from a polluted, busy civilization. If you don't like this place for any reason, you are missing the point.

I didn't like that I had to leave.

It is truly a hidden sanctuary with intense positive aura and purpose. A very unique place in the world and a brave idea implemented by the makers of Banyan Tree with no walls, no doors opening up to infinite green amidst, and a safe and tranquil jungle Buahan has a very unique and intense sense in the surroundings that passes on,uplifting your mood to an easy state of relaxation straight away. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back again. We truly enjoyed our time with the staff at Buahan. Everything felt so personalised and genuinely caring. Had the best experience with Arda, Ikan, Olive, Yana, and Weidi. We will simply come back for the experience, love, and care we received from the staff here. The chef was amazing too, and the food here is fabulous, with mostly plant based is a treat. Half board is totally worth the experience. Arda, thank you for following every query of mine to a tee with a smile always. Ikan, you make the best cocktails in the world, and thanks for the special negroni. Love you all much🥰

Everything was beautiful. The rooms are spacious and very private, the pool is just great size with beautiful views (definitely go for the valley views instead of the river). The bed is extra comfortable and cozy, as beautiful when they close the curtains at night. Plenty of activities also free of charge like hiking, waterfall, farm… staff is unreal, everyone is very attentive and smiling all the time. Arpa was available at any time during the whole stay doing everything and beyond to make us feel like home. We were shocked with R, he makes the most beautiful cocktails with all farmed ingredients and even prepare their own alcohol. Food menus are very curated and delicious. Definitely worth the expense to stay in this marvelous property, they have done a great job with sustainability and it’s beautiful seeing they tried to touch the least possible the environment and surroundings.

Everything was more than perfect, it was a true pleasure to stay
