We invite you to come and be one of the lucky.
ECO DESIGN: SACRED MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY is in all senses of the word a true Eco-Retreat Lodge, from site plan, architecture and gardens to constructed wetlands wastewater purification. It is the largest bamboo* building project in Bali and perhaps all of Indonesia and South East Asia. Over 10,000 bamboo stalks, all from Balinese forests mostly in the area of the Sanctuary were used and tied together by local craftsmen in the traditional manner to create the villas., Over 3,000 trees were saved by using bamboo as the main building material. The effect is pure magic, transporting one back in time when this ancient practice began.
Tap water comes from a mountain spring and is purified by sand filters and ultra violet light. Salad greens, vegetables, herbs, papaya, jack fruit, rambutan, mango and other varieties of fruit trees and food are organically grown in the Sanctuary's gardens. Garbage is separated. and recycled whenever possible. Organic waste from the kitchen is composted, adding nutrients to the soil. Furnishings by local craftspeople are almost all made of bamboo. Wastewater Gardens designed by Dr. Mark Nelson of the Planetary Coral Reef Foundation treat the septic and grease trap waste water.
The site plan was designed utilizing the natural contours of the land to reduce earth moving. Buildings are almost all raised off the ground for minimal environmental impact. Almost all the building materials came from the Sidemen area. Bamboo was harvested from the surrounding mountain forests. Stone and sand were supplied by the river and nearby quarries; Alang-alang (special grass) for the roofs came from the high mountain meadows that ring the valley. Most all of the other materials came from the neighboring island of Java. Local carpenters and assistants worked creatively alongside craftsmen from other parts of Bali, Java and Lombok to build SACRED MOUNTAIN SANCTUARY. - River walks & swimming
