Twin-Tiered Infinity Pool at Hanging Gardens of Bali
Payangan, Indonesia
The twin-tiered infinity pool at Hanging Gardens of Bali follows the steep contours of a forested valley near Payangan. Its two curved levels appear to reach out over the trees, with the water's edge drawing attention towards the jungle beyond. Seen from the surrounding terraces, the arrangement becomes a distinctive architectural response to the hillside rather than a conventional rectangular resort pool. Swimming gives a closer sense of that relationship with the landscape. The upper and lower levels create different viewpoints, while the curved edges and vegetation keep the experience connected to the valley. Poolside spaces allow guests to pause between swims, and the nearby bar looks across the twin tiers, making the water part of the setting even when it is time for a drink. The pool belongs to a resort of villas and suites spread through the landscape above the Ayung River. A riverside spa, yoga and Balinese cooking experiences provide additional ways to spend time on site, while guided walks and cycling explore nearby villages and rice fields. The shared pool remains a particular focal point, offering a place where the resort's dramatic terrain can be experienced at a slower pace.
