$800-1,200 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You want to live inside an Architectural Digest spread where the jungle literally grows over your roof.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Radical 'camouflage' architecture that disappears into the forest
- 20-meter infinity pool overlooking a raw, green river valley
- Complete privacy in the quiet village of Buwit, away from Canggu chaos
Tóm tắt nhanh: It is a stunning architectural masterpiece, but you are sleeping in the jungle—expect humidity, bugs, and the loud hum of nature.
Được đánh giá bởi @CharlotteA: I stayed here for a week and it was unlike anywhere else. The way the villa disappears into the jungle is wild. My favorite part was the pool at sunset—pure magic. Just be ready for some stairs!

FAQ & Những mẹo ẩn
Mọi thứ bạn thực sự muốn biết trước khi đặt phòng.
Is it really full of bugs?
Yes and no. It's clean, but it's open-air. You will see geckos on walls and ants if you leave food out. It's part of the experience.
How far is the beach?
Kedungu Beach is about a 15-minute drive. Canggu (Batu Bolong) is 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
Can we walk to restaurants?
No. You are in a local village (Buwit). You need a scooter or car to get to cafes.
Is there a chef?
Yes, you can hire a private chef for meals (usually cost of groceries + fee), and breakfast is typically included.
Is the pool heated?
No, but in Bali's heat, the 20m infinity pool is refreshing.
Is it safe for kids?
It's great for older kids, but the infinity edges, stairs, and open river access might be stressful for toddlers.
Mẹo Nội Tại
- ✨
Ask the staff to set up the outdoor cinema night—it's magical.
- ✨
Order the 'suckling pig' (Babi Guling) feast to be made at the villa; it's better than restaurants.
- ✨
Use the 'office' pavilion for yoga if you aren't working; the view is insane.
5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The 'green roof' actually helps cool the villa naturally, reducing AC needs.
💡The river below can turn brown and rush aggressively after heavy rains.
💡You might find a frog in your outdoor shower.
💡The humidity can make clothes feel permanently damp—air them out in the sun.
💡The village of Buwit is traditional; dress modestly when walking outside the villa gates.
