Ulaman Eco Luxury Resort Bali, Indonesia

Ulaman Eco Luxury Resort felt like a balanced mix between nature and comfort. While the property is known for its bamboo inspired architecture and organic design, it is not a fully open bamboo house experience. Instead, the bamboo villas here are built more like proper hotel rooms, with solid structure, privacy, and modern comforts such as air conditioning.

The overall experience felt calm and intentional, with a strong focus on wellness, sustainability, and design. It is a good option if you love the look and feeling of bamboo architecture but still want the comfort and ease of a traditional hotel stay.

Location

Region: Tabanan, near Canggu

Setting: Jungle and river surroundings

Distance from Canggu: Around 20 minutes by car

The retreat is surrounded by greenery and a flowing river, creating a peaceful environment. Even though it is relatively close to Canggu, once you arrive it feels quiet and removed from the busier areas.

The Accommodation Experience

Ulaman offers bamboo villas and suites that feel more like well designed hotel rooms rather than open air bamboo houses. The structures are enclosed, air conditioned, and designed to be comfortable at any time of day.

We stayed in the Sky Villa, which offered beautiful views while still feeling protected and calm. The combination of natural materials and modern amenities made the stay feel easy and relaxing, especially during warmer days.
