Buahan, A Banyan Tree Escape

Food was out of this world. The area, the hotel, everything was amazing!

From the moment we arrived at Buhuan, we were swept into a world of pure magic. The staff provided impeccable service, anticipating our every need with warmth and attention to detail that made us feel like treasured guests in a hidden paradise. One of the absolute highlights of our stay was Rudy, the botanist and cocktail mastermind. His passion for natural ingredients and innovative mixology turned every drink into a work of art. Whether infusing fresh botanicals, hand-crafting syrups, or customizing flavors to suit our preferences, Rudy didn’t just make cocktails—he created experiences in a glass. Each sip was a testament to his creativity and deep knowledge of nature’s finest flavors, making our cocktail dreams come true in the most extraordinary way. And then there was our casita—out of this world. The design seamlessly blended luxury and nature, with breathtaking views, elegant details, and an atmosphere of total tranquility. It felt like our own private sanctuary, where every sunrise and sunset was more magical than the last. Buhuan is not just a place to stay—it’s an experience, a masterpiece, and a memory that lingers long after you leave. If you have the chance to visit, don’t hesitate—you’ll be enchanted in ways you never imagined.

Buahan is by far my favorite resort. Every single person there is extremely friendly and passionate about their job! I feel so joyful when I see them enjoying their job and life - Ogi, Asana, Legi, Monica, and others (sorry I forgot your names…). And the view is the best! To me, it’s a very spiritual place that allows you to fully connect with the nature. I look forward to coming back😊

Simply stunning. And all the little extra/attention to details was so amazing. Even with the rain, this spot is unreal. We will be back.

The staff are great, the villa is wonderful and the food is good, but when I woke up at dawn to take a shower, I found a rat in the bathroom. I contacted them and they sent someone to deal with it. My experience was great, but what ruined it was the presence of the rat, unfortunately.

We’re a couple of foodies who love quality cocktails and this place just blew our minds. Pretty much everything is locally sourced, which is bonkers considering the huge amount of creations coming from the kitchen and bar. Thanks to chef Sheandy, Arsana (bar) and Budi (butler) for making this an unforgettable experience. Would definitely come back in a heartbeat 10/10
