Arriving to Batukaru Coffee Estate you are faced with mind-blowing views. I could literally sleep on a bench with this view.

Batukaru Coffee Estate I didn't need to sleep on a bench. This is the kitchen, dining room and check in spot suspended in the clouds surrounded by Estates 10 acres.

Batukaru Coffee Estate Seriously comfortable bed with seriously deep sleep. Every room is different. From glamping to romantic with a private pool.

Batukaru Coffee Estate The best thing to do in the morning is wake up just as the sun is rising, have a stretch at the yoga shala whilst listening to morning birds. Food for soul.

Batukaru Coffee Estate This is the glamping room. An amazing room to take if you are travelling with a big family or a friend group. Built from reclaimed materials.

Batukaru Coffee Estate It's refreshingly cool at night in this region, so a fireplace is very suiting. And definitely romantic.

Batukaru Coffee Estate Pointing around out of sheer excitement. I will say this is the best cafe I've ever been to.

Batukaru Coffee Estate The surrounding region is the Unesco Herritage sight of Jatiluwih rice terraces. There are countless trails to take for a walk, a hike or a trek.

Batukaru Coffee Estate A deeply moving experience to stay here. 100% sustainable. If the world went under, (see pandemic) this place would be still thriving.

Highs & Lows

  • The food! Pure, organic, grown and foraged on sight, cooked with love. If you thought the views are hard to beat, the food is the highlight of the stay! All vegan. We have many friends that will make the 3 hour drive from Canggu just to have lunch here.

  • Sustainability. Batukaru Coffee Estate doesn't take living one with nature lightly. Even making their own manure for the farm. The Estate is on the best water reserve in Bali and the water is full of nutrients, I felt revived.

  • The nature! If you need to disconnect or recharge and be present for a moment, Batukaru Coffee Estate is the right spot. After here I went to New York City. This trip made the arrival in a crazy city more peaceful.

  • Absolutely nothing to complain about, it's heaven on Earth!
