Our Selection
Each stay is reviewed across nine areas: energy, wildlife, community, and more. Every one does something concrete.
Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape
$$$$A resort above the Ayung River gorge with no walls and no doors, and a serious commitment to the jungle it sits in.
Fivelements Retreat Bali
$$A plant-forward wellness retreat above the Ayung river, built from bamboo and reclaimed timber, laid out following Balinese sacred geometry.
Jeeva Beloam Beach Camp
$Eleven open-air lodges on a remote peninsula. Built from recycled timber, powered by the sun, fed by the sea.
Jetwing Jungle Lodge
$$Ten wooden dwellings on a 15-hectare coastal estate beside Yala National Park, sharing a 300 kWp solar grid and a closed-loop water system with its Travelife-certified sister hotel Jetwing Yala.
Samanvaya
$$Villas built inside century-old Javanese wooden homes, in a rice field valley that most visitors to Bali never see.
