17 Best Hotels and Resorts in Asia 2026 According to Our Editors | Condé Nast Traveler

"In the three years since Buahan, the hotelier’s first property billed as a Banyan Tree Escape, opened, it has proved itself a true original: cicada alarm calls, baths illuminated by fireflies, volcanic views from bed. The location in Taro village, an area where 100-feet-tall coconut palms, mango, tamarind, and papaya trees, oversized cashew and cacao nuts, streaming vanilla vines, and honey-dripping beehives intermingle, is thought by locals to be the literal center of the universe. Stone stairs lead to a four-room spa for Balinese massages, a sacred waterfall for energy-cleansing blessings, and 16 open-air pool villas (bales) built without walls or doors." - CNT Editors
