A Different Stay in East Bali
Located in Selat, in the Karangasem region of eastern Bali, Hideout Eco Bamboo House Bali offers a collection of individually designed bamboo houses surrounded by rice fields, tropical vegetation and rivers.
The project began in 2014 with a small A-frame bamboo house built beside a river. It has since developed into a collection of distinctive accommodations, each with its own architecture, layout and facilities.
Built using locally sourced bamboo and the skills of Balinese craftspeople, the houses combine traditional construction techniques with contemporary design. Curved structures, open living areas and individually designed bathrooms are central to the experience.
Unlike a conventional hotel, Hideout offers private houses in a rural setting, making the accommodation itself an important part of the visit.
Your Hideout
The original Hideout Bali is a two-storey bamboo house designed for two guests. Its upstairs bedroom overlooks the river through a triangular window, while the lower level includes a kitchen, hammock and bathroom with an outdoor shower.
For couples, Hideout Falcon offers a more enclosed setting with a heated outdoor stone bathtub and private garden.
Hideout Cocoon combines contemporary bamboo architecture with a heated jacuzzi overlooking the river. The larger Hideout Leaf offers three bedrooms, a private swimming pool and more generous living spaces.
Each property has different levels of privacy, openness and facilities. Checking the individual accommodation before booking is important, particularly for travellers who prefer enclosed bedrooms or air-conditioned spaces.
Karangasem
Hideout's location provides an opportunity to explore a less developed part of Bali, away from the busier southern coastal resorts.
The nearby Tirta Gangga Water Palace is known for its ornamental ponds, fountains and stepping stones. Taman Ujung, another former royal water palace, combines landscaped gardens with historic Balinese architecture.
Travellers interested in outdoor activities can arrange guided walks through surrounding villages and rice fields or visit Jagasatru Waterfall.
Hideout also offers private yoga sessions, Balinese massages and creative workshops, including batik and silver jewellery making.
Meals can be ordered through Hideout Bistro and delivered to the accommodation, an especially useful service given the property's remote location.

Staying Above Bingin Beach
On Bali's Bukit Peninsula, Bingin is known for its surf breaks, limestone cliffs and coastal accommodation overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Mu Bungalow Boutique Resort, located on Jalan Pantai Bingin in Pecatu, offers individually designed bungalows and private villas in a tropical setting.
Traditional thatched roofs, timber, bamboo and natural stone give the property its distinctive character. A swimming pool and terrace overlooking the ocean provide a central gathering place, while Abracadabra Restaurant & Bar serves Indonesian and international dishes in a cliffside setting.
Choosing a Bungalow
The resort offers several accommodation styles, each with a different layout and atmosphere.
The Matahari Bungalow stands out for its circular architecture, centrally positioned bed and bathroom incorporating natural stone and bamboo.
The Cliff Bungalow features a private deck with a sunbed overlooking the Indian Ocean, while the Pura Bungalow offers an outdoor shower within a private garden.
Larger villas are available for families or groups. Choosing between the different options depends on whether guests prefer ocean views, additional privacy or more space.
Exploring the Bukit Peninsula
Bingin is a popular destination for experienced surfers, but the surrounding coastline also offers opportunities for beach visits and exploring southern Bali.
Nearby Padang Padang Beach is known for its sheltered sandy cove, while Dreamland Beach offers a wider stretch of coastline.
A visit to Uluwatu Temple, situated on a cliff above the Indian Ocean, can be combined with an evening Kecak dance performance.
For a quieter day, guests can remain at the resort and enjoy its yoga sessions, spa treatments and swimming facilities.
