Sarinbuana Eco Lodge

There’s a quieter side of Bali, if you know where to look.

Set high in the forested mountains of rural Bali, this boutique, family-run eco lodge is for travellers seeking nature and a slower rhythm of life.

A pioneer of eco tourism in Bali, the lodge has long operated with conservation, regeneration and community at its core, offering a peaceful escape from Bali’s busier hotspots.

Whether you’re here for guided rainforest treks, birdwatching, cultural experiences or simply uninterrupted time in nature, this is a place to truly switch off.

Led by the community

Every stay directly benefits the surrounding village and environment, through ongoing support, donations and locally run programmes started by the lodge itself. All staff live within 20 minutes of the property, with many trained from scratch into confident tourism professionals, creating long-term opportunities close to home.

Rooted in local life

From sponsoring English and traditional dance classes to creating work for trekking guides, workshop leaders, builders and suppliers, the lodge plays an active role in the local economy. Building materials are sourced locally and monthly contributions support village utilities and development.

Designed with nature in mind

Inspired by permaculture principles, the lodge was designed to work with the landscape rather than reshape it. Buildings sit gently within the mountains, preserving green space and wildlife habitat, a philosophy that has turned the property into a birdwatching hotspot, with over 131 recorded species and counting!

Story behind Sarinbuana Eco Lodge
What started as a small mountain home for the family in 1990 slowly grew into the eco lodge it is today. The family still lives on site and remains deeply involved day to day, shaping an experience that feels personal, grounded and genuinely cared for.
