Elevate Bali by Hanging Gardens, Munduk

Veer off Bali’s tourist trail and discover the less-visited highlands of Munduk. Between volcanic mountains and deep green jungle, you’ll find Elevate Bali by Hanging Gardens. This is a wonderful option for couples or families looking to combine adventure and relaxation in an idyllic setting. Slow down. Breathe in the mountain air, take in the incredible views - on a clear day you might even spot the volcanic peaks of Java.  

The resort has 26 comfortable private villas. Wooden floors invite some shoeless relaxation. Local fabrics and hand-crafted furniture mix with contemporary luxuries like a Jacuzzi and rain shower. We recommend upgrading to a deluxe room or larger as they have private heated pools great for families or couples looking for privacy. Wind down, enjoy a book or just bathe in the sounds of the jungle. For further relaxation head to the award-winning spa.  

Fancy something more adventurous? There are some terrific walking trails in the area, passing villages and waterfalls along the way. A canoe trip across Tamblingan Sacred Lake is a great way to connect to the culture of the area. Share a dug-out boat with local villagers who will paddle you across the sacred water to view hidden temples on the jungle’s edge. 

This place is great for honeymooners looking for some tranquil chill. Or families with kids who like to explore but also want a wholesome getaway in nature. Those looking for a buzzing atmosphere beyond jungle noises would probably prefer to stay elsewhere.
