Located in Bali’s Tabanan region, near Kedungu and the breezy coastline, is a luxury retreat set in a virtually untouched part of nature.
Known as the green agricultural heart of Bali, you find yourself in a secluded jungle near rice fields and the rush of a river, far from the bustling busyness of the city. Nirjhara, meaning waterfall, evokes the idea that nature will be at the core of your luxury wellness escape. However, having nature at the core is not just an idea; at Nirjhara, this is a reality.
And with YOLO Travel you can experience this standard of wellness and luxury, curated to your liking and wellness goals.
With a variety of villas and suite types, you are spoiled for choice at Nirjhara. Select your jungle escape, whether it be the tree-house Canopy Suite, River Pavilion, or Jungle Pool Villa, nature envelopes you in its soundscapes and beauty. Then, immerse yourself further in a rooftop bathtub, or on the private decks over rice fields or the river, or float in the infinity pool overlooking the cascades.
Designed with locally sourced timber, stone, and decorated with artisan-crafted furniture, each suite and villa has been carefully curated to bring the outside in.

For the more active adventurer, hire a bicycle and join a guide to explore the surrounding neighbourhood, or book a private surfing lesson before heading out for a sunset horseback ride. Indoor relaxation at Nirjhara consists of retail therapy at the boutique, a quiet visit to the library, zesty Indonesian cooking classes, or zingy mixology classes. What more could one want?
