Each of the resort's sixteen open-air bales embraces the "no walls, no doors" philosophy while maintaining complete privacy. Every villa features a private pool, generous living spaces, and a unique setting overlooking rainforest, river valleys, waterfalls, or Bali's sacred mountain peaks, creating an experience where nature is present at every moment.
Pool

A peaceful swim surrounded by the rainforest.

Nestled among lush tropical greenery, the pool overlooks the jungle and nearby mountains, creating a tranquil place to unwind. Whether enjoying an early morning swim beneath drifting mist or relaxing beside the rainforest canopy in the afternoon, the setting encourages guests to slow down and take in the surrounding landscape.
Spa

Balinese healing traditions in an open-air sanctuary.

Named after the Indonesian word for "water," Toja Spa combines flowing water, locally sourced botanicals, and time-honored Balinese healing traditions to create restorative wellness experiences deeply connected to the surrounding landscape.

Many ingredients come directly from the resort's gardens, creating drinks that reflect the seasons and the surrounding landscape.
