On the Indonesian island of Bali, the eco resort town of Ubud is an arts and cultural center.
John and Cynthia Hardy have created there a sweet and simple getaway with all the artistic charm and history of Indonesia.
They located eleven antique bridal houses from Java and transported each to Bali to create a unique eco resort, the Bambu Indah.
Each of the Javanese teak wood houses on the property originally served as a bridal house for a Javanese nobleman.
Some of them have the luxurious comfort of a boutique hotel.
The Udang House offers a unique view of fish beneath the ‘floor.’
Bambu Indah combines traditional Balinese architecture with an eco flair.
Some are quite polished and sophisticated, with fine Indonesian antiques.
In one, a rustic outdoor shower over a scattering of stone encourages communing with nature.
In another, an outdoor wash room leads to a small bamboo ladder up to sleeping quarters.
Each bridal house puts the visitor in close contact with nature.
But all pay homage to a distinctive rustic Javanese style.
