Alassari Plantation is in Central Bali on the southern slope of Mount Batukaru. Adjacent to protected forest land and rice terraces, Alassari is a tranquil, secluded retreat conceived to lose yourself in Shinrin-yoku, the Japanese art of forest bathing. Alassari’s southern outlook presents beautiful views of the rainforest, mountains, and Jimbaran Bay. Rather than being set apart from its surroundings, Alassari opens its arms to the neighboring village of Sarinbuana. Immerse yourself in the local culture and customs. This central Balinese location affords you and your guests a prime location for exploring all the island offers. Rainforest hikes, dreamy waterfalls, hidden swimming holes and hot springs, local art and food markets, spectacular temples, and sacred monkeys await you around every corner. Mount Batur looms large; a two-hour hike to the top rewards you with vistas shrouded in mist. Explore the coastal temple of Uluwatu and the surprisingly secluded beach of Nyang Nyang. Find excellent surfing conditions at Echo Beach. Visit the herds of Javan deer on Menjangan Island and enjoy some of the best snorkeling and diving in Bali.
