Wholesome jungle hideaway

Setting

Fruitful volcanic foothills

For Earth-kind cosseting, venture inland off Bali's tourist beat to Nadi Nature Resort. Four luxury tents make up this adults-only retreat, where mountain-view massages, local-led tours and Indonesian comfort food — homegrown on the permaculture farm — serve as your induction into the island’s natural rhythms. By the time the fireflies start to dance over the streams, you’ll feel as rooted in this Edenic patch of Tabanan as the clove and coconut trees that shade this hotel’s leafy grounds.

More details

Also

At the hotel

Permaculture farm, boutique, private waterfalls, paid laundry service and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: air-conditioning, ceiling fan, rechargeable torch, Singabera herbal tea-making kit, free filtered spring water, yoga mat, tote bag, bamboo toothbrushes and natural Sensatia Botanicals bath products.

Our favourite rooms

From Mountain View’s privileged spot, you can take in the jungle and rice fields rolling down to the distant peaks. Waterfall has a bath tub that opens out onto the private garden, so you’ll have a soothing natural soundscape as you soak.

Spa

Nadi’s spa tent has an open wall that looks out over the valley (and closes, should you prefer your privacy). Book in for a Balinese massage by a practitioner from a nearby village, using natural, locally sourced oils.

Packing tips

According to co-owner Punit, a stay at Nadi is a proven cure for writer’s block; so if you have a creative project that's been giving you grief, bring it with you and await your eureka moment as you gaze out towards the mountains.

Also

When Nadi inevitably inspires you to turn over a new, greener leaf, the shop is on hand to help, with local crafts, sustainably made homeware and deli items available.

Children

This is an adults-only retreat.

Sustainability efforts

In your tent, you’ll find Balinese-made bath products with reef-safe, plant-based formulas and packaged in refillable or biodegradable bottles. In-room tissues are made of bamboo pulp with compostable packaging; and the tent design itself also uses bamboo, reclaimed wood and handmade textiles to minimise environmental impact. The hotel only uses biodegradable cleaning products and plastic packaging is avoided wherever possible; any waste is recycled through a local scheme, which repurposes it into toys and other goods for local communities. Nadi Farm Café sources ingredients either from the hotel’s organic permaculture farm or from sustainable local producers, avoiding importing anything; the team also support a regenerative farming collective to promote sustainable rice-growing. All food waste is composted for use on the farm, and grey water is recycled.

Top Table

The restaurant is open-walled, so you’ll be in close touch with your leafy surroundings wherever you sit. On sun-dappled afternoons, take your strawberry lemonade out on the lawn.

Dress Code

Organic cotton and linen in loose, flowy cuts.

Hotel restaurant

Nadi Farm Café has its roots firmly in home soil. The menu of home-cooked comfort food encompasses Indonesian, European and Indian cuisine — the latter using recipes passed down by co-owner Punit’s mother. The menu might span the globe, but food miles are kept to an absolute minimum, with produce harvested from the hotel’s organic gardens and native forest. What can’t be grown on-site is sourced from a carefully cultivated network of sustainable, local farmers. On the menu you’ll find Balinese curries, fragranced with spices grown in the neighbouring mountains; as well as Mediterranean dishes, adapted to use what’s available in the region, like mung bean falafel with coconut tzatziki. Breakfast is similarly wholesome, with choices including smoothie bowls topped with freshly picked fruit, and spiced eggs with heirloom tomatoes from a family-run farm.

Hotel bar

There’s no separate bar, but Nadi Farm Café’s menu includes fresh juices, oat milk smoothies, teas (hot or iced) with infusions from the garden and, if you fancy something stronger, a Bali-made craft pilsner. Cosy nights call for hot cocoa from the nearby sustainable cacao farm as you watch the stars appear.

Last orders

Nadi Farm Café is open daily from 8am to 9pm, with last orders at 8pm. The breakfast menu is available from 8am to 4pm.

Room service

Nadi Farm Café’s full menu can be ordered to your room during its opening hours.

Automobiles

There’s free private parking at the hotel.

Worth getting out of bed for

Cultivate your green thumb with a guided tour of Nadi’s permaculture farm, befriending the chickens and sampling produce as you go. If that’s piqued your interest in native plants, try a foraging tour with an expert guide, capped off with a lunch that makes use of the goodies you found along the way. Local guides can also accompany you on a walk through Anseri village, past rice fields and hidden hot springs. And you can join specialists from the area in workshops from jungle survival skills to the art of crafting Canang Sari temple offerings; a purification ceremony at Nadi’s shrine, led by a Balinese priest, is an option, too.

The Tabanan region is scattered with waterfalls and rice terraces, temples and sacred sites. 15 minutes away in Bayan, you’ll find a sprawling, 700-year-old tree with deep-rooted spiritual meaning. Head to Desa Pinge for insight into the traditional culture of a Balinese village. The Jatiluwih Rice Terraces sweep down the volcanic mountainside in a lush green carpet, and of the many nearby waterfalls, Yeh Hoo Waterfall is a serene, lesser-known spot. Strike out further afield to Beratan Lake, where Ulun Danu Beratan Temple floats on the surface, framed by forest-swathed mountains.

Out here in the rural foothills, you’re unlikely to need to stray from Nadi Farm Café.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this earth-conscious hotel in Indonesia and unpacked their homemade sambal and hand-carved coconut bowl, a full account of their mountain-gazing break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Nadi Nature Resort in Bali… 

At Nadi Nature Resort, there’s a symbiotic relationship between luxury and looking after the earth. The lush organic gardens form the backdrop for restorative walks and fuel the restaurant’s wellness-boosting menu, just as they’re coaxing Bali’s native wildlife back to the land. Close relationships with local communities slash the hotel’s environmental impact, but also mean you’ll leave with new favourite artists and an insider’s perspective on Balinese culture.  

And if you’ve come here to find yourself, there’s no better place to start than starfishing on your four-poster bed, with birdsong and waterfall babble drifting in through the canvas walls; the fact that tents were chosen as the least eco-disruptive structure is a happy bonus. So whether or not these mountain views inspire lofty self-discoveries, one breakthrough is guaranteed: there’s a new possibility for travel, one that nourishes the earth as much as it nourishes you.
