Sarinbuana Eco Lodge ***

The Sarinbuana Eco Lodge is one of Bali's best kept secrets. Located on the slopes of Mt Batukaru in central Bali, the lodge is only a short transfer from the accommodation hubs of Sanur, Seminyak and Ubud but a world away from the hustle and bustle. Here you can enjoy the pleasures of this peaceful jungle environment while staying in a choice of comfortable bungalows.

The lodge offers just 5 individual bungalows set amidst the organic gardens all with en-suite facilities. You can enjoy the healthy, traditional Balinese food produced from the gardens and served in the restaurant. There are a variety of activities you can partake in including trekking, massage, yoga, bird watching and you can even spend time with the resident rescued monkeys!

This is a very special eco-lodge which is doing everything in its power to minimise impact on the local pristine environment and supporting local social policies. This includes such small things as encouraging guests to only bring natural toiletries to avoid water pollution to making their own laundry soap and larger commitments like sponsoring a local child through university. The lodge is a real jungle treasure!
