Puri Taman Sari
Puri Taman Sari is a three-star resort located in the traditional village of Banjar Umabian, Desa Peken Blayu, Marga, in Tabanan, Bali. Set amidst rice fields, coconut groves, and three rivers, the property offers an immersive experience of a Balinese royal household belonging to the Mengwi kingdom. The resort preserves the character of a private Balinese compound from the 1920s, providing guests with privacy and insight into daily local life, including traditions around prayer, cooking, and ceremonial practices.
Accommodation options feature air-conditioned rooms, bamboo bungalows overlooking rice paddies, and suites with seating areas, all designed to blend with the traditional setting. The atmosphere is intimate and culturally rich, appealing to travelers seeking an authentic Balinese village experience rather than a conventional hotel environment.
The property’s unique appeal lies in its cultural immersion programs, including rice field trekking, village cycling, Balinese dancing lessons, temple visits, and traditional craft workshops such as wood carving and offering making. Wellness offerings like Balinese massages, meditation, yoga, and spiritual healing further complement the experience.
Puri Taman Sari suits travelers interested in cultural heritage, rural landscapes, and participative activities in a serene village setting, making it a distinctive option for those wanting to engage closely with Bali’s living traditions.
