Buahan, a Banyan Tree Escape in Bali, has been named the Asia Pacific Glamping Experience of the Month for August 2026 by the Asia Pacific Outdoor Lodging Association. This adults-only retreat, located in the highlands of Payangan, offers an open-air sanctuary with no walls or doors, allowing guests to fully connect with the surrounding rainforest and mountain peaks.

Situated just north of Ubud, Buahan is approximately 90 minutes by car from Ngurah Rai International Airport. The retreat is designed for travellers seeking a deeper connection with nature, themselves, and each other. Guests can engage in activities such as the Soul Freedom Journey, Jungle Cooking at Dukuh Asri Regenerative Centre, and the Moon Meditation and Fire Ritual.

Dining at Buahan includes the signature Timbungan lunch, featuring slow-cooked fish, pork skewers, and crispy duck, all prepared in the traditional Balinese megibung style. The retreat emphasises sustainability through its architecture, regenerative farming, and conservation efforts, ensuring that luxury and environmental responsibility coexist.

Buahan works closely with local farmers and artisans, ensuring that tourism supports the community whilst preserving Balinese traditions. The Banyan Tree Connections package offers accommodation combined with wellbeing experiences and dining, available throughout the year.
