About Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape

Perched on the edge of a dramatic river valley in Bali's untouched highlands, Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape is a radical reimagining of luxury—where walls dissolve into jungle and every villa floats above an ancient tropical canopy. This is Bali without boundaries: open-air living rooms, outdoor stone bathtubs overlooking misty ravines, and a philosophy the resort calls "no walls, no doors, no barriers." With just 16 elevated villas hidden among centuries-old trees, Buahan offers an intimacy and wildness that no beach resort can match. The signature infinity pool stretches toward the volcanic horizon, while the bamboo-cathedral restaurant serves hyper-local cuisine foraged from surrounding villages. It is a place where digital detox happens naturally, where the soundtrack is birdsong and rushing water, and where Bali reveals itself not as a tourist destination but as a living, breathing ecosystem.

Why We Selected Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape

Buahan broke every rule we thought we had about what a luxury hotel should be — and that's exactly why it earned its place here. There are no walls, no doors, no barriers between you and the Balinese jungle that surrounds you. This is not a resort that happens to be in nature; it is nature, with only 16 villas suspended above a volcanic valley. The foraged cuisine alone would justify a visit, but it's the radical stillness — the sound of nothing but birdsong and rushing water — that makes Buahan unforgettable. In a world of over-designed hotels, this is the rare place that trusts the landscape to do the work.
