Banyan Tree Ubud

Banyan Tree will open a very special property in an off-the-beaten-track, untouched part of northern Ubud later this year.

Pioneering a 'no walls, no doors' concept throughout the property and in each of its 16 balés (villas), Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape, is scheduled to open in September 2021.

Situated in a quiet enclave surrounded by rice paddies and jungle, the site's unique topography is next to the Ayung River and waterfall, including a sweeping view of the seven majestic peaks.

The resort has 16 balés, designed to blend spacious indoor-outdoor living areas with 180-degree panoramic views and sounds of nature through a bold taste of 'The Naked Experience' where only a thin veil separates guests from nature.

Scattered on and off the property, secret Hideaway Spots draw on the element of being at one with nature, providing guests with a garden sanctuary for meditation, reading, or simply taking a moment to pause and unwind.

At the resort's heart are the Open Kitchen and Living Room, both open dining and lounge spaces created to evoke a sense of community where guests can learn how the resort's zero-waste farm-to-table concept, local sourcing philosophy and heritage techniques. Seventy percent of the menu concept is plant-based, sourced locally within an hour's drive from the property.

The Botanist Bar is centred around the use of local-grown natural ingredients and botanicals infused into its beverages, while Toja Spa celebrates the wellbeing traditions from Buahan village and its surrounding areas, with a unique "open" garden experience - certified by the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa Academy.
