Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape

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

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.

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 its beautiful seeing they tried to touch the least possible the environment and surroundings.

Nothing short of spectacular! One of the most unique places on earth to spend an evening. We had a fabulous time. The occasion was our 10th anniversary, thank you Susi and all the team for making it a special time. We travelled North and around the coast via Lovina to spend the evening here. We would recommend other visitors do this if you are centrally located as we found the drive a bit more comfortable and accessible. We have taken southern roads before and the travel time is longer in our opinion. There is a narrow private access road into Buhan which is charming and the facilities are very private and secluded. We loved this. On site the surroundings are stunning and this is a gross understatement. The vibe comes with a true Balinese cultural service experience we cannot praise all the staff enough. What we would typically expect from a hotel lobby, reception experience is something entirely different here. It redefines this experience for a guest. You have to go there to experience it first hand. There is no obvious defined lobby or reception as such the whole experience is tour in stages and makes for a very warm hospitable experience. The accommodation is nothing short of dream worthy. Photos do not it justice no matter how impressive the photography. Be prepparred for a complete outdoor experience in complete privacy. The Treetop construction is both fascinating and uplifting to experience. The private pool and adjacent resting cabano areas are perfect for chilling out and lazing around. In the evening we sat by the fire pit and the guest team prepparred all the bamboo screening and internal nets (for those scared of the local wildlife). In that respect, despite the obvious outdoor venue there is very little of this for anyone with any concerns. We were also extremely impressed with the level of overall material finish, like the sanitaryware, showers, bath etc. Whilst this is undoubtedly a luxury experience nothing has been short cut.
