Outdoor Shower- sort of. There were walls and a ceiling of sorts, and privacy screens so the other houses couldn’t see, but it was still open air, and it was great.

Here is the bed. Each evening, they put the mosquito curtains down. There is a small air conditioner in the ceiling area of the bed. Because the mosquito curtain is more tightly woven than a traditional net, you can keep cool without necessarily cooling the whole room.

Here is the path to get to our house which is in the background

Here is the pool, with a few of the house villas around it.

The view from our porch

View of the rice fields from the bluff of Bambu Indah.

The first structure you see upon arrival is the giant lobby and restaurant building – all open air, all built of bamboo using traditional building methods. It is breathtaking.

Upon entering the lobby, there is a woven structure within the larger structure that is the main office. the restaurant extends behind it.

This bamboo structure is the centerpiece of the grounds. It is 2-story open air with a grand view of the rice fields below the bluff edge. It serves as a lounge and they start the day there with yoga each morning.

This is the view from the first floor of the lounge/yoga building. You can barely make out the rice fields in the distance.

Each “room” is actually it’s own house…authentic Java homes deconstructed and then rebuilt on this site. Our house has a glass floor above water – for real! You can see shrimp and fish swimming in it and it is subtly lit at night.
