Eco-Retreat & Guesthouse — Central Bali

Held by themountain.

Nestled high on the eastern slopes of Mount Batukaru — refreshing mountain air, clean spring-fed water, and panoramic views that stretch all the way to the coast of Bali.

A welcome — from Richard Kaal

More than a place to stay a window into the traditional heart of Bali.

Being situated in this traditional area, our guests are given a unique experience with the local Balinese people and their culture. Walk through terraced rice fields to a sacred Hindu temple, stroll past the cacao and coffee plantations, or simply relax and take in the natural beauty of the landscape.

Your accommodation is a blend of traditional Balinese and contemporary Asian styles — from well-appointed rooms in a handcrafted teak house to comfortable bungalows and traditional rice houses.

We woke to birdsong and mist rolling off the mountain. Everything here moves at the pace of the forest — it's the most rested we've felt in years.
