The DNA: Surrounded by a meandering river forming part of the subak rice field irrigation system and neighbouring a local community that has preserved its authentic Balinese charm, Nirjhara draws inspiration from traditional local villages reminiscent of the landscapes that the owners first encountered when traveling to Bali in 1996. The resort was conceptualized as an extension of the local community and every effort has been made to minimize its impact on the environment. Besides the careful selection of materials used throughout the construction and furnishing of the property, such as upcycled wood cladding and locally sourced bamboo, Nirjhara has launched a variety of initiatives aimed at reducing its footprint on the ecosystem. Single use of plastic has been eliminated. 85% of the 25 suites face distinctive views of waterfalls, terraced rice paddies and a gentle river. The resort’s lush garden, planted with species endemic to Indonesia, immerses guests in nature while preserving a sense of intimacy. Its unique location, set amidst verdant landscapes evocative of Ubud, contrasts with its close proximity to Pantai Kedungu, a scenic beach known for its beginner and intermediate surf breaks.
