The house
Grün ResortsCanopy treehouse village
Villas stand on slender stilts above the sloping hillside, lifting daily life directly into the coastal forest canopy.
What it’s good at
Notable
Stilt-mounted villas set in the forest canopy with teak and recycled-plastic finishes.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
In the forest canopy above Pecatu, overlooking the Indian Ocean south of Padang Padang.
The rooms
Full-height glass wraps each floor in canopy views, and bedrooms open onto private terraces among the treetops.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and sauna
Timber sundecks surround the curved canopy pool. A tiered cedar sauna and cold plunge pools sit in the recovery area.
Movement studios
Two open-air timber shalas face the forest canopy for yoga, and a dedicated studio holds reformer Pilates machines.
At the table
La Cima serves Mediterranean dishes overlooking the ocean, and The Octagon cooks Indonesian plates surrounded by forest greenery.
How it began
Stilt Studios designed the villas on elevated steel columns so the sloping forest floor could thrive untouched underneath.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
