Imagine walking through a village so clean, green, and beautifully kept that it makes you rethink every street you’ve ever walked on. Welcome to Penglipuran Village, a hidden gem in the highlands of Bangli Regency, Bali.
🏡 With its cobbled streets, manicured gardens, and rows of traditional Balinese homes, Penglipuran feels like stepping into a living postcard. It’s often ranked among the cleanest villages in the world, but what makes it special goes far beyond spotless streets.
Here, tradition and sustainability thrive side by side. The community follows age-old customs that shape daily life, from family temples to bamboo forests that stretch into the horizon. Every detail is cared for, creating a balance of order, culture, and nature that’s rare to find.
👣 Visitors are encouraged to slow down, wander barefoot if they wish, and truly absorb the peaceful rhythm of village life. It’s not just a place to see, but a place to experience.

Penglipuran sits about 45 km northeast of Denpasar and only 5 km from Bangli town. At an elevation of 600 metres above sea level, the village enjoys cool, refreshing air year-round — a perfect escape from Bali’s coastal heat.
