Munduk Moding Plantation Nature Resort

Travelers looking to veer off Bali’s well-trodden tourist towns should look to Muduk, a serene highland in the north. Far from the tropical beaches and dense jungle—and their crowds—the air here is crisp, mist wends through valleys, and coffee plantations blanket undulating hills. Using Munduk Moding Plantation as your forested base camp, explore this hidden gem on active adventures. Explore waterfalls, go canyoning, canoe across glassy lakes, walk among lush rice terraces, and rise at daybreak to catch sunrise on Mount Batur.  

Enveloped by 15 acres of coffee trees, thick jungle canopy, and rice fields, Munduk Moding Plantation’s elevated setting boasts breathtaking views of the landscapes, which are best imbibed from the glassy infinity pool.  

Blanketed with native foliage living roofs, 37 suites and villas blend right into the wilderness. The interiors are warm and richly appointed with glowing wood, comfy couches, and canopy beds, with a full wall of windows framing views of forests, mountains, and, on clear days, the distant coast. The roomier villas boast compact outdoor terraces, complete with plunge pools and Jacuzzis. 

As dawn breaks over the jungle, start the day with coffee grown and harvested right on the property. Further traces of the region’s abundance can be found at mealtimes, with garden-to-table feasts showcasing the flavors and dishes of Bali and broader Indonesia.  

After satiating, stretch out a yoga session, set off to explore the jungle on bike rides, hikes, and horseback rides. A well-earned massage and sauna break await at the spa when you return, followed by craft cocktails at the bar and a stunner of a sunset before dinner. At night, soak in your Jacuzzi as the sounds of the jungle echo around you and stars shimmer overhead.
