The village of Gobleg is home to Munduk Moding Plantation, a beautiful “Nature and Eco Resort” that fully deserves the capitalization of the word Resort. In March 2026, the team of Rundung Bali Tours paid a visit to this impressive location. We were just starting to take in the property when Nova, a friendly young man driving a golf cart, drove toward us. He asked if we wanted a tour, and that was the beginning of an impressive look behind the scenes.
Nova drove us through the beautifully landscaped grounds, which sit in the heart of a five-hectare, active organic coffee plantation. Alongside the coffee bushes, they also grow tropical fruits, vegetables, and flowers. The resort is designed as an eco-luxury lodge that blends traditional Balinese architecture with modernist elements. It runs on a sustainability concept they call “Sustainovation,” focusing on environmental friendliness, reforestation, and supporting local farmers.
Our first stop on the buggy tour was the restaurant, where the view of the 18-meter-long infinity pool was breathtaking.
We then continued to the sunset bar, which features another identical 18-meter-long infinity pool. Sitting there at the end of the day to watch the sunset must be an absolute pleasure. Because it is a working plantation, everything is incredibly green and beautifully landscaped with coffee bushes all around.
The resort features 43 rooms spread over the area, and you can check their website to get a good idea of the rooms and current pricing. It has excellent facilities, and Nova mentioned that their newest addition, located just outside the complex, is a set of padel courts. Inside the complex, guests and day pass holders have access to a gym, a tennis court, a yoga room, swimming pools, and an option for horseback riding.
All the activities are managed by Kamul Nakal, the resort’s organization that acts as a playful “playground” extension built within the grounds. They host activities for both hotel guests and the general public, including day-pass options. One of these activities is coffee cupping, which takes place at the on-site coffee shop where you can also enjoy coffee and delicious pastries.
Coffee cupping
This coffee cupping experience is completely different from commercial coffee tastings. The staff places glass pots containing the beans on the table, grinds them, and puts the powder into a kind of soup bowl. Then, hot water is poured onto the powder, creating a layer of dregs. The staff calmly and professionally removes the dregs with a spoon, places them in a tissue, and neutralizes the spoon in hot water before continuing. We were given an espresso cup with a spoon to scoop the coffee from the soup bowl into our small cup. It is a paradise for coffee lovers, and the knowledge and calm professionalism of the staff was highly impressive.
They also serve good coffee and have a good selection of pastries.
The coffee cupping costs IDR 150,000 per person. It is a special experience and very much worth it for coffee fans because this is the way it should be done. Afterward, you can buy the coffee beans and powder in the souvenir shop.
Note: their Luwak coffee is 100% natural, and you will find absolutely no cramped cages with locked-up civet cats here.
Plastic Recycling
Because it is an eco-resort, they also have an impressively large and well-organized facility dedicated to plastic recycling. Plastic recycling here is a central, interactive pillar of their sustainability ecosystem, operating as a combination of a Recycling Center, a community Waste Bank (Bank Sampah), and an educational Eco-Lab where visitors can follow workshops.
Inside the workshop, they use a structured, circular process to transform raw plastic waste. First, the collected plastic waste is sorted by type and thoroughly cleaned. Next, it is fed into industrial shredders and melted down at high temperatures. The melted plastic is then pressed into solid, heavy-duty sheets and planks that serve as a weatherproof replacement for timber. Finally, craftsmen use a CNC 3D Router Machine to carve the solid boards into highly precise creations.
Instead of leaving the property, this upcycled plastic is integrated directly back into the resort or sold as eco-merchandise. It is transformed into resort infrastructure like signage, tissue boxes, soap dispensers, and clothes hangers. It is also used to make commercial furniture, including outdoor stools, coffee tables, and heavy-duty sunbeds built to withstand the tropical mountain weather without maintenance. Visitors can even buy guest souvenirs like handcrafted colorful bracelets and custom picture frames. Through the Waste Bank program, Munduk Moding Plantation actively incentivizes the neighboring villages to participate, check the website for more information about this.
