Glamping sites in Bali with jungle views
1. Nadi Nature Resort
Escape the bustle of South Bali and immerse in serenity at Nadi Nature Resort – a hidden gem in the lush landscapes of Tabanan, overlooking Bali’s three mountains. A picturesque sanctuary located at the foothills of Mount Batukaru, this adults-only glamping destination is an exclusive eco-resort, home to just four tented villas. Each air-conditioned abode is fully equipped with an en-suite bathroom and a sun-deck, with sweeping views over a pristine green horizon. And while we love day-tripping to the botanical gardens of Bedugul (just 25 minutes from the resort), you’ll want to experience the in-house adventures, like walking through the permaculture gardens, or discovering the resort’s very own private rivers and waterfalls. Best bit is, Nadi Nature Resort is also home to Nadi Farm Café, where homegrown produce is whipped up into nourishing, wholesome dishes, alongside jungle ravines and mountain vistas. Bliss!

Immerse fully into the jungle vibe with the Camp Rangers options; a series of low and high impact wellness-adventure activities ranging from yoga to jungle boot camps, Tae Bo, rice paddy tracking and village biking.
