(Bali, Indonesia) Buyan Lakeside Villas, a new luxury highland retreat in North Bali, has officially opened on the shores of Sacred Lake Buyan, offering travelers an intimate sanctuary of serenity, cool mountain air, and panoramic lake views. Located just 2.5 hours from Bali’s international airport, this exclusive collection of five private villas introduces a quieter, nature‑immersive way to experience Bali far from the crowded southern beaches.

Nestled at 1,300 metres above sea level in the village of Pancasari, the resort is surrounded by mist‑covered mountains, tropical rainforest, and one of Bali’s most pristine natural environments. Designed for couples, families, and wellness‑focused travelers, Buyan Lakeside Villas blends modern comfort with the raw beauty of Bali’s northern highlands.

Each villa is positioned to maximize views of Lake Buyan and the surrounding cloud forest. Four one‑bedroom villas—Sumba, Ulun Danu, Minang, and Waerebo—offer 80sqm of elegant living space, while the two‑bedroom Toraja Villa spans 160sqm with a private living and dining area. Interiors combine traditional Asian design with contemporary luxury, featuring premium amenities, private balconies, outdoor daybeds, and sunrise‑facing viewpoints. Every villa includes a stocked pantry, daily housekeeping, and high‑speed fibre‑optic WiFi. In‑villa Balinese massage treatments can also be arranged.

Guests can enjoy the 15‑metre heated swimming pool overlooking the lake, or dine at Pepper Lane Café, which serves Western and Asian favourites, premium coffee, handcrafted desserts, and fresh produce sourced from nearby farms.

“Buyan Lakeside Villas was created for travellers seeking a quieter and more contemplative experience of Bali,” said Mrs Cheryl Kwok, Director. “We want guests to slow down, reconnect with nature, and discover the beauty and culture of Bali’s northern highlands without compromising on modern luxury and comfort.”

As one of Bali’s four sacred lakes, Lake Buyan sits within an ancient volcanic caldera and remains free of motorised boats, preserving a rare sense of peace. Guests can explore the region through guided fishing trips or the Twin Lake Rainforest Track, a two‑ to three‑hour jungle trail linking Lake Buyan and Lake Tamblingan, passing secluded temples and cultural sites.

Nearby attractions include Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, the iconic Handara Gate, Handara Golf Club, and Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, all within easy reach. With temperatures ranging from 11.5°C to 24°C year‑round, the area offers a refreshing climate ideal for travellers seeking a cooler, nature‑rich alternative to Bali’s coastal regions.

To celebrate its opening, Buyan Lakeside Villas is offering special introductory rates starting from IDR 3,200,000 per night, inclusive of breakfast.
