Bali is known for its breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant travel experiences. However, with the rise in tourism, the need for sustainable travel has never been more crucial. At Further Hotel, we are committed to promoting eco-friendly practices without compromising on luxury, setting the standard for a sustainable hotel in Bali.
From our diffused hotel concept to our partnerships with local artisans and eco-conscious wellness experiences, every element of Further Hotel is designed to reduce environmental impact while providing an unforgettable stay. Discover how we are redefining what it means to be a sustainable hotel in Bali, and how you can be part of this movement during your stay.
Sustainable Architecture and Design
Further Hotel’s architecture reflects our commitment to the environment. Designed by renowned architects MORQ, the hotel’s concept utilizes locally sourced and eco-friendly materials that are in harmony with Bali’s natural environment. Instead of a single, monolithic structure, Further Hotel is a diffused hotel, with accommodations spread across several buildings in Pererenan Village.
This unique layout not only creates a sense of integration with the local community but also minimizes environmental disruption. By repurposing existing buildings and maintaining smaller structures, we significantly reduce the ecological footprint of the hotel. Natural materials like locally sourced wood and sustainable textiles are featured throughout the property, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and environmental responsibility.
Our eco-friendly design incorporates energy-efficient systems such as natural ventilation, which reduces the need for air conditioning, and skylights, allowing natural light to illuminate our spaces during the day. Additionally, we offer electric-powered buggies to transport guests around the village, ensuring that we minimize carbon emissions while providing convenient transportation. Staying at Further Hotel means being immersed in an environment where sustainability and luxury coexist harmoniously—a true hallmark of a sustainable hotel in Bali.
Reducing Single-Use Plastics
At Further Hotel, we recognize the detrimental effects of plastic pollution, especially in a destination as beautiful as Bali. We are committed to drastically reducing the use of single-use plastics. To achieve this, we’ve replaced all disposable plastic amenities with eco-friendly alternatives, including custom toiletries from Oaken Lab, which are packaged in biodegradable and sustainable materials.
We provide our guests with reusable water bottles, encouraging them to take advantage of our convenient water refill stations placed throughout the property. Plastic straws, bags, and cutlery have been eliminated from our operations, replaced by biodegradable or reusable materials. We believe that small actions, like reducing plastic waste, contribute significantly to protecting Bali’s environment for future generations.
Supporting Local Communities and Artisans
Sustainability isn’t just about the environment—it’s also about supporting the local communities that make Bali special. At Further Hotel, we are deeply committed to empowering local artisans and businesses. From handcrafted furniture to the locally sourced decor that adorns our rooms, every piece tells a story of Balinese craftsmanship.
Our partnerships with local artisans ensure that the cultural heritage of Bali is not only preserved but also celebrated. When you stay with us, you’ll notice that much of the hotel’s interior design reflects the work of local craftsmen, from handwoven textiles to custom-made furnishings.
Additionally, we collaborate closely with local vendors for products and services, ensuring that the economic benefits of tourism are shared within the community. This collaboration helps build sustainable practices that support local industries and ensure the long-term prosperity of the region.
Wellness and Spa Experience
At Further Hotel, we believe that true luxury is not just about physical comfort but also about mental and emotional well-being. Our wellness and spa services are designed to help guests rejuvenate while staying mindful of the environment.
We offer in-room spa treatments that use only organic, eco-friendly products free from harmful chemicals, ensuring that every wellness experience aligns with our sustainability principles. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a day of surfing or simply relax in a tranquil environment, our spa services are designed to leave you feeling refreshed and recharged.
For fitness enthusiasts, Wrong Gym—a partner of Further Hotel—offers bodyweight training programs that are both eco-conscious and effective, reducing reliance on heavy equipment. This approach emphasizes personal wellness while staying in tune with our environmentally conscious ethos. Whether it’s yoga, meditation, or spa treatments, Further Hotel provides a holistic experience that nurtures both the body and the soul—further cementing our status as a sustainable hotel in Bali.
