The idea behind Bambu Indah was to design an area that upholds sustainability ideals while paying tribute to the natural world's beauty. John and Cynthia Hardy, the resort's creators, are ardent proponents of eco-friendly living, and Bambu Indah reflects their dedication in every detail. The resort uses sustainable and repurposed materials to create opulent yet environmentally friendly places that mix in perfectly with the surrounding landscape. Bambu Indah is a tribute to the power of sustainable architecture, from the bamboo structures that give the resort its name to the organic gardens that supply fresh vegetables.

At Bambu Indah, the lodging options are just as distinctive as the resort. The eleven historic Javanese bridal residences at the resort, referred to as "houses," have all been painstakingly renovated and redesigned to provide a unique fusion of contemporary comfort and traditional charm. Relocated from Java to Bali, these traditional teakwood homes—some dating back more than a century—were painstakingly restored to create cozy havens steeped in culture and heritage. With elaborate carvings, vintage furnishings, and a link to the surrounding landscape that encourages contemplation and relaxation, each house tells its tale.
