Innovation flourishes when regenerative principles are upheld. That’s certainly the case with Bambu Indah, a resort on the island of Bali

The family’s jungle adventure began some three years ago, when, on vacation, they paid a visit to Green Village, a planned community of bamboo residences just outside the ancient inland town of Ubud.
