Plataran Menjangan claims its rightful spot as one of the world’s top safari destinations – the sole awardee from Indonesia and Asia (excluding India) - reinforcing its status as a true champion for world ecotourism and sustainability development. Unlike most of other world ecotourism resorts, Plataran Menjangan – a resort managed and operated by Plataran - does not only provide close encounters with endangered floras and faunas in a protected forest, it affords a holistic experience of raw nature, local community life and spiritual world engagements, which all blend into a truly unforgettable and one-of-a-kind experience in “God's Secret Courtyard”. It consistently presents the concept of a blended "Nature-Culture-Community", which has been deeply embedded in Plataran’s DNA since its inception in 2009.

Located in a protected 382-hectare forest in West Bali National Park and sitting across The Menjangan Island, one of the world's best reef diving spots, Plataran Menjangan is strategically situated in the epicenter where Balinese and Javanese cultures meet. Plataran Menjangan’s masterplan was designed by HM Design’s Hitesh Mehta, considered as one of the world’s leading authorities, practitioners and researchers on sustainable tourism/ecotourism physical planning and both the landscape architectural and architectural aspects of ecolodges. In 2006, Hitesh Mehta was named by National Geographic as one of the Five Sustainable Tourism Pioneers in the world.
