"For those seeking a total switch off—a complete immersion in the natural wonders on this island—head to Selat. This bamboo hut, hidden in one of Bali’s most wild, unspoiled regions, offers a stay so interconnected with the surroundings that the villa doesn’t have a single door. There’s no common indoor area—unless you use the second bedroom as a lounge—instead focusing the space around an outdoor fireplace, a hot tub to dip in, and an outdoor seating area to gather around. The bedroom’s arches open straight out onto the landscapes, where you can survey the rice fields and valleys in one of the most remote locations in Bali. A small local restaurant on site provides traditional Balinese meals, and while there are no shops or supermarkets within walking distance, the hosts provide a free moped for guests so that you can venture into the thick of it in the best way possible." - Charley Ward
