Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape

Amazing and beautiful location, incredibly attentive and super friendly staff. Nothing was too much or too small.

It was a life time experience for us, we loved every minute of it, and hope to be back one day. The architecture of the whole resort is perfectly blended with the jungle. Every corner is elegantly decorated and spotless clean. Rooms are like floating on the jungle, very special experience. We stayed half board for a week and each meal was carefully orchestrated by the kitchen and served at perfection. European techniques are carefully executed with local ingredients and every member of the team is kind, presentable, and serves each plate and drink with a huge smile on their face. We want to mention their name and thank them personally for this outstanding experience; Chef Sheandy Satria, Chef Surya, Purnayasa ‘Big John’, Olive, Riska, Rica, Sriasih, Rudi, Diva, Arsana, Nanda, Barli, Ani, Armadi ‘Dollar’ and Sutianto, thank you guys. Our butler was Riadi, he is focused, understands your taste and creates an itinerary according to your expectations. Patient, kind and with a big smile. His search for perfection never ends, he always tries to think a possible - better option. He is a gem. During our stay we did a few complimentary tours and a few private ones. Uya was always by our side and he did not only drive the car or hiked with us, he also explained every detail with passion, kindness, intellectuality and respect to tradition. Thanks to him we had the chance to explored the Balinese culture from a local perspective.

One of the most unforgettable experiences I’ve ever had. The food is incredibly delicious — made with fresh, local ingredients that truly capture the spirit of the region. The place is so peaceful and relaxing, and the service is beyond exceptional. Everyone was kind, professional, and made me feel genuinely welcomed. And the view? Absolutely stunning. I’ve been to many places around the world, but nothing compares to this. Buhan Banyan Tree Bali is on another level

Nice vibe with cool concept!

The resort is located deep inside the forest, about 2 hours car ride away from Denpasar airport. The isolated location makes the surrounding very quiet and immersive in nature. The no doors no walls experience was exceptional, and the view from the room and the dining area was simply stunning! On a good weather, you get a chance to see the beautiful mountains beyond the clouds of mist. The staff at Buahan knew their guests' name and would greet us so, and they catered our experience according to our preferences. Ingredients they used for cooking were sourced locally, and mostly plant-based. Depending on the day of your stay, they provide different tours/activities. We got to participate in their private waterfall tour and cocktail making session. Would love to be back in the future.

Although it is highly emphasized that your Bale will have full seclusion and privacy, unfortunately it wasn't really the case for us. In the morning, there were some staff really close to the bottom of our Bale and were cleaning there or passing by. Some of the staff even looked up into our Bale, and it felt really uncomfortable as we were using the bath at that time. So be aware of your own privacy, especially for females.

It’s hard to fully capture in words the essence of this experience—it’s truly immersive and unique from the moment you arrive until, unfortunately, it's time to leave. This is the kind of "quiet luxury" that resonates deeply with me. The location, views, and design are nothing short of breathtaking. Our villa, perched a little higher up, offered stunning panoramic views. The interior is not only aesthetically pleasing but also designed with comfort in mind, making it a perfect place to unwind. Every detail, from the food and drinks to the smallest touches, is crafted with the utmost care. They use fresh produce from their own garden and local farmers, which adds a personal, authentic touch to each meal. The service is exceptional—rarely do you encounter a team so attuned to your needs. Before you can even ask, they anticipate what you might need. The staff is warm, professional, and never overbearing, creating a perfectly balanced atmosphere of attentiveness without pretense. A special thank you to our host, Degus, and the entire team for making our stay so memorable!
