About Bumi Kinar Fitaovam-pialan-tsasatra
Ny Bumi Kinar dia fitaovam-pialan-tsasatra any Ubud, Bali, Indonezia. Ao anatin'ilay tranomben-drafitra dia misy villa valo miaraka amin'ny efitrano fandriana iray avy, efitra roa mihanaka (suites) ary trano fivoriana iray (clubhouse). Mijoro eo amin'ny toerana havoana lava ireo trano, voafefin'ny Reniranon'i Petanu, ka azo tazana avy eo ny ala manodidina. Ny endriny miolakolaka dia nalaina tahaka ny endriky ny raviny voninkazo lotus. Misy làlana mitsingevana miaraka amina 600 metatra izay mampitohy ireo villa sady mahasolo làlana fihazakazahana sy fijerena ny toerana manodidina. Nasandratra hihoatra ny tany ny rafitra mba hiarovana ny tany eo ambany. Ny vato lava porous sy ny tafo maitso dia mampihena ny hafanana avy amin'ny masoandro tropikaly. Notehirizina ihany koa ireo hazo lehibe efa teo amin'ilay toerana.

- Unique Properties
- Bumi Kinar at Ubud is a distinguished architectural ensemble comprising eight one-bedroom villas, two suites, and a magnificent clubhouse. Nestled amidst the serene Ubud cliffside forest, this retreat offers a sanctuary of tranquility in Bali's renowned leisure destination.
Perched on a longitudinal hilly terrain bordered by the Petanu River, with sweeping views of Ubud's tranquil forest, Bumi Kinar seamlessly integrates with the existing Bumi Sekembang compounds. Drawing inspiration from the purity of the lotus leaf, its architecture gently curves, symbolizing renewal and purification, embodying the essence of an international retreat and healing resort.
Guests embark on a captivating journey from the main verandah villa at Bumi Sekembang, guided by parallel curved walls leading to Bumi Kinar's gallery foyer. Here, amidst lush tropical gardens, they pause to savor a welcome drink, immerse themselves in art, and connect with fellow travelers.
Continuing the journey, guests discover hidden accesses to the North and South Wing Suites, before arriving at the heart of the main building—the outdoor elliptical reflecting pond. Mirroring the surrounding forest, it offers a serene vista, while a covered wooden floor invites contemplation of Mount Agung in the distance.
Descending a curved staircase, guests are greeted by a crescent-shaped dining and lounge area, overlooking an infinity pool and the verdant forest beyond. The spa area, nestled between cliffside and forest hill, beckons relaxation and rejuvenation.
Carefully integrated into the natural landscape, the villas are positioned to minimize environmental impact, connected by a floating rampway doubling as a jogging track and viewing platform. Embracing sustainable design, the structures hover above the terrain, preserving the ecosystem below, while porous lava stone and green roofs provide insulation from the tropical sun.
Retaining mature trees and incorporating new green elements, Bumi Kinar harmonizes with its surroundings, blending minimalistic modernity with the lushness of Ubud's tropical forest. It epitomizes a new architectural poetry—a haven for retreat and healing amidst nature's embrace. - Dimensions & Packaging
