Green Village Bali - Giant Bamboo Houses

Set along the Ayung River in Bali, Green Village is a community of fifteen unique bamboo houses designed and hand-constructed by the Ibuku team.

Elora Hardy, the founder of Ibuku, spent decades working with bamboo, a beautiful, strong, versatile, and flexible material. Over the years, she and her team constructed more than 100 structures in Bali.

Built from bamboo, these natural homes are an incredible option for travelers looking for an adventure in nature. The Sharma Springs House is particularly beautiful.

Once highlighted on the front page of New York magazine, this home is six stories tall and is described by its owners as "a showcase of how black and white bamboo can be combined to create a stunning collection of luxurious floors, walls, ceiling, stairs, and railings."

With four double bedrooms, a kitchen, lounge, media room, dining area, and more, Sharma Springs offers incredible views and a one-of-a-kind experience. This particular house even includes a butler during your stay.

Aside from the insane housing options, Green Village Bali offers many tours and workshops for you to enjoy.

Half-day tours begin at Green School, a guided walk around the school environment where students are immersed in hands-on, nature-based learning activities, followed by a Bamboo Factory tour to observe how bamboo is processed and crafted.

In a four-hour workshop, travelers can also discover how the Balinese have utilized coconut trees for centuries.

Are you interested in building a bamboo house of your own? Participate in a three-day workshop to discover the basics of how Ibuku's design-build team turns a scaled bamboo model into a real building.

Green Village even has its own warung (cafe) that serves delicious Balinese and international fare made fresh from the produce from the on-site gardens.

Sharma Springs Bamboo House has these unique teardrop-shaped revolving doors. If you are after a fairytale accommodation in Bali, this is it!

And it's not just the doors. The bed is rounded, and it's suspended from the ceiling.

The bathrooms are gorgeous. With hand-carved bathtubs and showers partially open to nature, you will have some bathings to remember.

Naturally, the balconies are complete with oversized hammocks that are too comfy to leave.
