Buahan A Banyan Tree Escape is an adults-only property in Buahan village, northern Ubud, built on a 'no walls, no doors' concept that immerses guests directly in the Balinese jungle. Each of the 16 bales (villas) is roughly 180 sqm, features a 180-degree view of jungle and mountain peaks, a private pool, and naturally sourced materials reflecting Balinese architecture. The resort sits above the Ayung River with uninterrupted panoramas of Bali's mountain ranges. As a Banyan Tree-managed property bookable through ALL Accor, standard programme benefits apply.
