An Adults-Only Bamboo Luxury Retreat Amid Rice Fields - Bambootel Sawah View
Bali is full of stunning accommodations, but the ones that make you want to stay put and never leave are truly special. Bambootel Sawah View is exactly that level. With all-bamboo architecture, rice field vistas, private pools, and top-tier ratings of 4.9 on Google, 4.9 on Tripadvisor, and 9.7 on Booking.com, this adults-only resort in the Tampaksiring highlands has become one of Bali’s standout stays that looks as good in photos as it feels in person.
📍 Location & Surroundings

Though often categorized as an ‘Ubud hotel’ on booking platforms, Bambootel Sawah View is actually located in Tampaksiring, about 11 kilometers (a 30-40 minute drive) from central Ubud. Tirta Empul Holy Water Temple and Gunung Kawi Rock Temple are both within a 10-minute drive, making it an ideal base for exploring the spiritual sites north of Ubud.
To be clear: this isn’t for travelers who plan to head into Ubud’s markets or downtown restaurants every morning and evening. It’s better suited for a ‘check in and unwind for two or three days’ rhythm, treating the resort itself as the destination rather than just a place to sleep.
🏨 Facilities Overview












The entire resort is built around bamboo architecture, set against rice paddies, valleys, and jungle landscapes, creating an atmosphere that feels warmer in person than in photos. The property features multiple pools, with some private pool villas offering direct front-row views of the rice fields.
For dining, both Nini Restaurant and Maniq Restaurant receive high praise from guests. Breakfast is not a standard buffet but rather a refined, plated meal with choices. Cocktails also frequently appear in positive reviews, with many guests who originally planned to dine out ending up staying at the hotel for several consecutive evenings. Note that dining prices are on the higher side, and dinner options are relatively limited, so you’ll need to budget a bit more.
The resort is Adults Only, offering a quiet and private environment with no Kids Club or family-friendly facilities.
🛏️ Room Types










Room options include villas with private heated pools, suites with Jacuzzis, one/two/three-bedroom villas, and suites with direct access to a shared pool. Cleanliness and comfort consistently receive top ratings across platforms.
A few things to note: The bamboo houses and some villas feature semi-open designs, with rice paddies and jungle right next door. The sounds of crickets, geckos, and the presence of insects are part of the natural environment. If you’re sensitive to bugs, it’s best to choose a more enclosed option like the Suite with Pool Access or Deluxe Suite with Jacuzzi. Additionally, views can vary significantly within the same room type depending on location, floor, and orientation—when booking, it’s advisable to specifically request confirmation of a front-row rice paddy view.
👥 Who It’s For
An ideal choice for honeymoons, couples, and anniversary trips, as well as travelers looking to completely unwind in Bali and capture unique accommodation content. Not suitable for families with children (adults only) or for those who prefer to use their accommodation as a base for daily outings and activities.

“The bamboo architecture and rice field views are even more stunning than the photos. Sitting by the private pool, zoning out—the whole day slipped by without me wanting to leave.” (Source: Tripadvisor)
“The only downside is that it’s quite far from central Ubud, but if your goal is relaxation, there’s hardly a flaw here.” (Source: Agoda)
