 Its dramatic, sweeping curves instantly command your attention. You step a little closer and notice that these unique structures have been crafted entirely from bamboo.

Indeed, a sense of wonderment suffuses Ulaman Eco Luxury Resort at Kaba-Kaba, Bali, Indonesia. Here, bamboo roofs curve organically into shapes resembling blooming lotuses and cocoons. Some of the villas are perched directly above a lake, perfect for a refreshing morning dip or to be lulled to sleep by the sound of gently trickling water. Peeking out amidst a lush, tropical jungle, the property's awe-inspiring structures envelop guests in an experience dotted with discreet touches of luxury.

Being one with its natural environment has always been the anchoring ethos of Ulaman. The property was originally conceived as a residential project (before 2020), with the owner wanting to create a home that fit right into its natural surroundings.
