A new luxury tented resort camp in the cool mountains of Jutiluwih in central Bali is taking rainforest luxury to a whole new level. Surrounding the resort are the vivid green rice fields, contoured rice terraces, high mountains and forests that make up the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jutiluwih. This is a remote area far from the tourist crowds where you can come together with nature in this spectacular environment.

The resort consists of only eight permanent deluxe tents set on raised wooden platforms with terraces that face the incredible sunrise, definitely worth waking up for. The modern rustic ensuite bathrooms feature a hot and cold water rain-shower that uses mountain spring water, and no air-conditioning is necessary as the fresh mountain air naturally cools the tents.

Getting close to nature is reflected in the resort’s cuisine as dishes are created using edible wild grown vegetables, leaves and roots collected from the rainforest and the resort’s organic garden. Cooking classes are also available so you can learn how to create authentic Balinese cuisine using the same fresh produce.

Activities revolve around the stunning scenery and include night treks up Mt Batukaru with mountain porters, nature walks in the rainforest and rice fields to spot birds and wildlife, mountain biking through traditional villages and visits to spiritual temples, natural hot springs and cascading waterfalls.
