Home/Bali/Hideout Bali — Eco Bamboo Stay (The Original)
The place

The one that started Bali's bamboo-house boom. A two-storey house built almost entirely of bamboo, sitting beside a small river in Selat, East Bali, at the foot of Mount Agung — about 90 minutes' drive from Ubud. Downstairs is an open-air living space with a hammock, bean bags and a simple cooking corner; upstairs a king bed under a mosquito net, with a triangular window framing the stream. The shower is outdoors, facing the trees, and the river is loud enough to sleep to — pack earplugs if that worries you. Most openings have no glass, so geckos and the odd insect are part of the deal. You will want a scooter or a driver: the nearest warungs are a ride away, and day trips run to Sidemen's rice terraces and the Agung water temples. It books out months ahead, and it earned that.

Reaching Selat and what the house has


Hideout sits in Selat in East Bali, beside the stream it was built over. The host lists the drive times: about two hours from the airport, 90 minutes from Ubud and 35 minutes from Padang Bai, the harbour for boats to the Gili Islands. A restaurant is five minutes away and the nearest shops and warungs about ten. Arrange a driver or a scooter before you land; nothing here is a walk to dinner.

Airbnb lists it as a treehouse for two: one bedroom, one bed and one bathroom with a bathtub. Breakfast is offered, the host meets guests on arrival, and pets are allowed. Cooking is light: the amenity list has cooking basics and a mini fridge rather than a full kitchen. Check-in runs from 3 to 7 pm, so time the drive from the airport around it.
