Book NowAbout The Botanist by Desa Eko
Perched high above Munduk’s mist-draped jungle valley, The Botanist delivers unhurried mountain respite with cliffside daybeds and secluded dining nests. Escape the coastal heat and settle in over gluten-free pesto pasta, botanical bowls, or fragrant mie goreng. Travelers heading north make a ritual of lingering here for hours—stretching out on cushions, dipping into stacks of board games, and sipping house-spiced hot cacao by the hearth as rain sweeps across the ridge.
- Cliffside daybeds and jungle nests: Secluded wooden nests, open-air daybeds, and private hillside cabins look directly over the forest canopy.
- Dietary-inclusive mountain fare: A broad menu spans gluten-free pesto pastas, vegan bowls, and comforting plates of mie goreng or curry.
- Hearthside lounge and parlor games: Floor cushions, blankets, parlor games, and a crackling fireplace provide shelter on cool, rainy afternoons.
