Bali: 5 Eco-Friendly Ways to Have Fun
When it comes to luxury travel, green is the new black, particularly in Bali where a burgeoning number of sustainable accommodations are raising the bar for environmentally concerned tourists who wish to leave a destination better than when they arrived—all without compromising on luxury. Participate in one of these distinctive, motivating activities provided by Bali hotels to ensure that your visit doesn’t negatively impact the island’s ecology while also contributing to the preservation of Bali’s breathtaking natural beauty.
Rice fields tour, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve
You can sense that Mandapa is going to be something exceptional as soon as you walk in. The rooms, villas, outlets, and décor are all magnificent, but the Mandapa experience immerses you far more deeply in Bali’s renowned cultural and spiritual center. The property features its own rice terraces that you can explore on foot or by bicycle, rafting down the Ayung River to witness the island’s most beautiful waterway, a Balinese healer who guides visitors on customary wellness excursions, tours of Ubud’s countryside and cultural treasures, and an amazing menu that highlights regional produce and flavors.
Forest bathing and foraging, Conrad Bali
A sustainable tourism itinerary in Bali may include shinrin-yoku, or the practice of forest bathing, which was first introduced in Japan in the 1980s as a means of encouraging tranquility and serenity in the natural world. You will be driven from Conrad Bali’s opulent Nusa Dua retreat to the beach of Lake Beratan at sunrise for this full-day experience. Before you have lunch close to a waterfall, local rangers will lead you in a traditional jukung kayak to the edge of the Bedugul jungle, where you may take in the beauty of towering Rasamala trees.
Sustainable cocktails at Four Seasons, Jimbaran Bay
At the Four Seasons Jimbaran Bay’s Sustainable Bar Workshop, designed by bar manager Jan Jurecka, a specialist in sustainable bartending, shake, rattle, and pour, then add a twist of something green. The 90-minute masterclass begins with a tour of the resort’s aromatic herb and cocktail garden and beehives. After that, you’ll learn about Bali’s ancient rice wine (arak) traditions and how to make your own zero-waste sustainable cocktails at the resort’s brand-new, sustainability-focused bar Telu.
Beach clean-ups at Lost Lindenberg
Nestled inside the forested area that parallels a black sand volcanic beach, Lost Lindenberg is a group of solar-powered treehouses that provide guests an intimate encounter with the natural world amidst avant-garde architectural settings. Given its isolation and distance from the supervised beaches of Seminyak, Lost is mindful of its surroundings and, in addition to yoga, volleyball, and beach runs, it hosts weekly beach clean-ups to maintain the area’s allure for those who cherish this hidden haven of peace.
Sustainability tour, Desa Potato Head
Desa Potato Head offers a sustainability tour that is not exclusive to guests staying there, but making reservations at one of the amazing Oceanfront Studios in the creative town and hotel helps contextualize owner Ronald Akili’s concept for sustainable hospitality. See how everything from cigarettes to shucked oyster shells are separated and processed, as well as how waste materials are transformed into chic home accents like chairs and soap dispensers. You’ll get a peek into the massive complex’s inner workings. You will take with you a holy Tridatu bracelet from Bali, crafted from recycled plastic beads that you yourself shape and file.
