amazing treehouses in bali you can actually stay in

While the island is often regarded as a beach paradise with a variety of boat tours and diving options, many foreigners are looking for the quintessential jungle experience when they get on a plane bound for Bali. If you are keen to stay somewhere that is surrounded by nature, here are our picks for the top five treetop stays in Bali.

Magical Tree House

One of the fun things about this treetop accommodation on the edge of the jungle is that you literally get to live with a tree. Your little two-level, two-bedroom house has a tree growing inside. Showering upstairs is another delight, as you can gaze out at the spacious gardens and rice fields.

In the evening, the tree house becomes fairly romantic and soft mood lighting surrounds you. Perhaps the most unique feature of this stay is the downstairs bathroom that opens into a waterfall curtain. Walk directly through the veil of water to plunge into your private pool. The accommodation is only 1.6 kilometres from the city’s central district, so you have both seclusion in nature and the close by buzz and action of Ubud.

Sunrise House

This luxury four-level bamboo house has an on-site restaurant that delivers beautifully presented meals to your door. This means you can have more time (and privacy) in your bamboo haven surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

Sunrise House is somewhat of an architectural bamboo masterpiece, matched with high-end service. Guests are sure to feel treetop-high with towering bamboo rafters and a swirling staircase that takes you on a journey through four levels of the three-bedroom stay.

Bali Eco Stay 

This secluded mountain retreat in Central Bali is located at the foot of Mount Batukaru.

Your eco-bungalow, The Waterfall Bungalow, is positioned at treetop level. To get to Mount Batukaru, you’ll need to travel two hours from the airport, taking a scenic route through a greenbelt known as the ‘Rice Bowl of Bali’.

Villa Pererepan

The opulent Awang Awang Resort is made up of five villas, and the treetop pick is Villa Pererepan.

The room is for couples and swimming in your own plunge pool is a relaxing experience with the jungle surrounding you. If you’re a fan of wildlife, the Petanu River courses through the jungle valley below and from your balcony you can watch the antics of a troupe of monkeys that hang out in the valley. Living in the wild with plenty of forest fruits and food, they have no inclination to enter the resort area, but their lively exchanges can keep you enthralled for hours.
