Most bamboo houses are far away from Ubud or Canggu but Stone House has a great location so you don’t have to travel far to experience a unique place to stay in Bali.

My favorite private villa at Stone House is the Tree House, a villa on stilts complete made out of bamboo. The Tree house is a brand-new open-air room high above the jungle surrounded by coconut trees and a small creek below with a beautiful view on the rice fields. Honestly when it come to the best Bali bamboo houses, this is among the top recommendations.

Bambu Indah – Sustainable Bamboo Eco Hotel in Ubud

My stay at Bambu Indah Resort was simply amazing! I stayed in the Moon House and it was very comfortable. The staff was friendly, and the food was delicious.

The only thing to keep in mind is that there are many stairs and narrow walkways, so it might not be suitable for those with mobility issues. But if you're seeking a truly unique and peaceful place to stay in Ubud in a bamboo house, I highly recommend Bambu Indah.

Where are the best bamboo houses in Bali located?

Most of the best bamboo houses in Bali are located around Sidemen, Selat, Ubud and the river valleys of Central and East Bali. These areas offer the natural surroundings that make bamboo architecture so special: rice fields, jungle views, rivers, palm trees and volcano backdrops.

• Sidemen and East Bali: best for peaceful bamboo houses, volcano views and romantic off-the-beaten-path stays.
• Ubud: best for bamboo villas closer to restaurants, temples, waterfalls and Bali’s cultural heart.
• Tampaksiring: best for newer bamboo-style luxury villas near Ubud, including Bambootel Sawah View.
• Near Canggu or the beach: not ideal, as most real bamboo houses in Bali are inland rather than on the coast.

Frequently asked questions about bamboo houses in Bali

Are bamboo houses in Bali safe to stay in?

Yes. Well-designed bamboo houses in Bali are structurally safe and built by experienced architects who specialize in bamboo construction. Many use treated bamboo, reinforced joints, and solid foundations. The properties listed in this article are established stays that meet international hospitality standards.

Safe in terms of security?

Yes, Bali is a very safe place to travel and common theft is very rare. All bamboo houses have a safe deposit box or a reception where you can leave your belongings if that feels safer to you.

Are bamboo houses comfortable?

Yes, but in a different way than a classic luxury hotel. Bamboo houses are often designed to be open, airy, and connected to nature. That also means you may hear jungle sounds at night and feel more “outside” than you would in a sealed room.

Do bamboo houses in Bali have bugs and mosquitoes?

Often, yes. Many bamboo houses are partially open-air, so insects can fly in, especially in jungle or river settings. Most stays provide mosquito nets and other protections, but if you are very afraid of bugs or want a fully sealed, air-conditioned room, then a bamboo house might simply not be the best match for you.

Are bamboo houses suitable for luxury travelers?

Yes, as long as you understand what “luxury” means here. The luxury of bamboo houses in Bali is privacy, unique design, and exceptional natural locations: jungle views, river valleys, rice fields, and total atmosphere. It is not always the same kind of luxury as a Four Seasons-style hotel room with fully enclosed spaces and traditional resort features everywhere.

Where are most bamboo houses in Bali located?

Most bamboo houses are found in Ubud and the surrounding jungle, Sidemen in East Bali, and river valleys or rice field areas away from the coast. These locations provide the space and natural setting that bamboo architecture is built for.

So no, the bamboo houses in Bali are not near the beach.

Are bamboo houses worth it?

If you want a unique stay that connects you with nature, local craftsmanship, and sustainable design, then yes—bamboo houses in Bali are absolutely worth it. For many travelers, the natural surroundings are the luxury, and staying in a bamboo house becomes a highlight of the entire Bali trip.

What should I know before booking a bamboo house?

• Expect nature: open spaces, jungle sounds, and sometimes insects.
• Check details like mosquito nets, screens, and whether the room is fully or partially open-air.
• Read recent reviews carefully to match your comfort level.
• Some bamboo stays are remote, adults-only, or involve steps and uneven paths.

Bamboo houses in Bali are not about ticking off a luxury checklist, they are about feeling a place. Falling asleep to jungle sounds, waking up with mist rising from the valley, and staying somewhere that feels genuinely connected to its surroundings is what makes these places special. If you are looking for something different from standard hotels and resorts, a bamboo house might just become one of the most memorable stays of your Bali journey.
