Be
pampered in an ancient valley of Spiritual Magic, beside a
Holy River surrounded by Sacred Mountains. Contemplate serenity
in dancing waterfalls & meandering pathways. Breathe in the
fragrance of a thousand blossoms. Sacred Mountain is the old
Bali which you have heard so much about, but few today have
the privilege of experiencing. 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.

to explore nature & the heart of Bali.
