Ubud, IndonesiaApril 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bambu Indah has been recognized by BBC Culture for having some of the most spectacular tree houses in the world, placing it among a select group of globally acclaimed accommodations deeply integrated with nature. This recognition highlights the resort’s leadership in bamboo architecture and regenerative hospitality.
Perched above the jungle canopy, Bambu Indah’s iconic Tree House has been named one of the most spectacular tree houses in the world by BBC Travel, an immersive retreat where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony.
This five-star eco-luxury resort in Ubud’s Sayan Valley is renowned for its ever-expanding collection of bamboo structures, with tree houses designed as immersive living spaces in the jungle. Developed by the Ibuku design studio, these buildings push the boundaries of organic design and environmental integration.
Bambu Indah was founded in 2005 by John Hardy and Cynthia Hardy, the visionaries behind Green School Bali, Green Village Bali, and the globally renowned John Hardy brand. Initially featuring eleven restored Javanese bridal houses, the resort has since evolved into a regenerative estate. It has also been named one of the “World’s Greatest Places” by *Time* magazine and described as “one of a kind” by TripAdvisor.
Beyond architecture, Bambu Indah itself serves as a living laboratory for regenerative living. Guests can engage with nature through natural spring-fed pools, a forest wood-fired sauna, copper hot tubs, and cold plunge pools in the jungle. Daily activities include bathing water buffalo, harvesting rice, planting coconut trees, and guided litter-collection hikes, all designed to foster a connection to the land and enhance ecological awareness.
The dining philosophy reinforces this system. Tembaga focuses on farm-to-table cuisine oriented toward health and longevity, while River Warung presents traditional Balinese dishes through an Ibu-ibu cooking station using wood-fired methods. The sunset bar overlooks the Ayung River and surrounding rice fields, offering a naturally stunning sunset view.
Community initiatives include natural pest control using barn owls, reducing chemical use in nearby rice paddies while supporting local farmers. Future development plans include establishing Bali’s largest fermentation lab, a mushroom cave, and a tea room, aimed at enhancing food resilience, promoting biodiversity, and strengthening local collaboration.
As its tree houses gain global acclaim, Bambu Indah continues to evolve, demonstrating how architecture, nature, and daily life can merge to build a regenerative future.
Surrounded by sweeping rice fields and overlooking a gentle river, the New Moon House embodies the essence of bamboo living, open, organic, and intimately connected to Bali’s timeless landscape.
At Bambu Indah, adventure unfolds in its purest form, raw nature, untouched beauty, and immersive experiences that celebrate the spirit of the land.
Nestled within a lush forest setting, the Crystal Pool at Bambu Indah offers a serene wellness experience where natural spring water and tranquil surroundings invite deep restoration and connection with nature.
