Sleep on a River in This Unique Hotel Room in Bali

The Udang Shrimp House room located at the Bambu Indah hotel which is in Bali is one of the most unique hotel rooms in the world as it has a glass floor over a fresh shrimp pond. The Bali hotel was built in 2007 by John Hardy and his wife; they had previously transformed 11 antique bridal homes into eco-friendly rooms during 2005.

This hotel room is not one that you will soon forget as it offers a stunning view down into a blue pond that ripples, situated beneath the feet of guests, instead of the traditional wooden floor or tiled. The entire floor is made of glass timbered panels over the shrimp pond below. The suite is absolutely stunning, from the four poster bed with traditional mosquito net in the middle of the suite to the fishing net and rustic wooden boat paddle at the bottom of the bed.

The suite has its own private open-air shower so that guests are able to bathe out in open and enjoy being at one with nature.

The pair transformed the homes that are over a century old into beautiful guest homes that offer inspiration from Indonesia and its history and is situated among stunning vegetation and swaying palm trees.

Guests reach the reception area, designed in traditional bamboo, across a stepping stone pathway. While the resort and suite has been designed to look like rustic classic homes in Bali, they do offer all the luxuries and services that you would find in any of the luxury boutique hotels in Bali.
