15. Bambu Indah
You’ll love it because… Bambu Indah honours sustainability and nature, making it the perfect eco-friendly destination for earth-conscious adventurers. Meaning “beautiful bamboo” in Indonesian, Bambu Indah is an upscale bamboo wonderland of restored antique Javanese bridal homes.

Nearly every room has breathtaking views over the Sayan Ridge and the scatter of rice fields all around, and you won’t find TVs in the rooms either, because who needs television when nature’s 24/7 soundtrack provides all the entertainment necessary?
