Located less than an hour’s drive away from the Bali’s popular hotspots of Canggu and Seminyak is Nirjhara

(

a boutique resort where luxury and sustainabi­lity meet. It also helps that the Tabanan developmen­t offers private seclusion for those craving peace and quiet place to relax while on holiday. Nirjhara means “waterfall” in Sanskrit, an appropriat­e name for a space situated in the middle of natural wonders.

There are 25 villas in Nirjhara ranging from River Pavilions, Canopy Suites in the shape of treehouses, Two Bedroom Pool Villas and an exclusive Two-Bedroom Villa named The Residence. The property’s restaurant, Ambu, is a romantic Indonesian restaurant housed in a casual chic environmen­t with sweeping views of the lush green and rice fields, a cascading waterfall a nd a dense tropical forest. Its menu pays tribute to the island’s eclectic and rich heritage by offering a fresh take on Indonesian classic s as well as contempora­ry Western dishes.

Nirjhara also practices sustainabi­lity throughout its property with the use of its own drinking water in recycled glass bottles, implementi­ng ozone water treatment and eliminatin­g singleuse plastic. Ambu, meanwhile, sources its vegetables and herbs from the property’s own garden and neighbouri­ng farms. Other facilities include The Retreat, which is more sanctuary than spa: A haven where therapies make use of age-old Balinese techniques and natural products sourced from throughout the island. The Retreat features four treatment rooms complement­ed by two Finnish Saunas, a yoga deck, and a fully-equipped Fitness Centre.
