\u00a0The Best Sustainable Resorts In Bali<\/h2>\n
1. The Seed Bali \u2013 Candidasa<\/h3>\n
Off-grid beachfront estate with permaculture gardens, rainwater harvesting and fully villas.<\/strong><\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\")
The Seed is a beachfront estate in Candidasa that feels totally off-grid<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n If the world was ending and you had to hole up somewhere amazing, you\u2019d want it to be The Seed Bali<\/strong><\/a>. You see, when we were lucky enough to stay at this beachfront estate, we chatted to the owner, Logan, who told us how The Seed was first conceptualised during the pandemic. It was built as an off-grid commune for his friends and family to escape to while the world went mad. But today, this wildly creative, eco-friendly property in Candidasa can be rented exclusively for you and your crew.<\/p>\n
Throughout the tropical grounds, there are four individually-designed villas, all crafted from reclaimed wood and sustainable, local materials. But that’s not all. As part of The Seed’s closed-loop ecosystem, they harvest rainwater, compost food scraps, filter greywater through banana trees, and operate as low-impact as possible. The permaculture gardens supply the onsite restaurant, and everything is built with minimal concrete and maximum care for the land. It really felt like an off-grid hideaway, and we didn’t want to leave.<\/p>\n
What’s so impressive is, they’ve matched sustainability with serious fun. We woke up with yoga in the sea-view yoga shala, before hauling margaritas into the treetop bar. There’s also an underground sauna and ice bath, an all-natural outdoor gym, a soundproof karaoke den, treehouse maze, and a dive plank. Even our villa merged with a waterfall! Eco-friendly, yes. But never boring…<\/p>\n
Best for:<\/strong> Total privacy on the beach, with the feel of a barefoot eco-playground.
\nGood to know:<\/strong> The Seed is totally private, so you have to book the entire estate for your stay (you can’t rent rooms individually).
\nLocal tip:<\/strong> The Seed can sleep up to 21 people, but some of the beds are best suited for kids (e.g bunkbeds). So I would say, 16 adults could sleep here comfortably.

2. Bambu Indah \u2013 Ubud<\/h3>\n

They even provide a waste recycling system and all-natural, organic bath products. Take your pick from the uniquely designed bamboo houses, like the crescent moon-shaped house, or the Tree House perched between the branches of two sturdy Banyan trees. You can even score a day pass to explore the stunning grounds and dine at the riverside Warung restaurant.<\/p>\n
