Forget stained carpets, or cold marble floors, a vibrant blue pond ripples beneath the feet of guests at one rustic retreat in Bali.

Holidaymakers wake up to a stunning underwater panorama in one of the most unique sleeping quarters in the world, in the Udang 'shrimp' House at Bambu Indah hotel in Bali.But visitors mustn't be shy if they want to stay in the eco-friendly bolt-hole, as there is an abundance of fish swimming under the room - and perhaps peering up through the tempered glass floor.The stunning suite, built from teak timbers, features a low mosquito-netted four-poster bed, which stands becomingly in the middle of the room.A rustic boat paddle and fishing net lay at the end of the bed as numerous crustaceans swim around below. The room also boasts an open-air shower so guests can truly feel at one with nature.Longtime Bali residents Canadian-born John Hardy and his American wife, Cynthia, created the unique room after they bought eleven antique Javanese bridal homes to Bali in 2005. They transformed the century old homes into guest houses using inspiration from the history of Indonesia, while adding the luxury and service of a boutique hotel.Bambu Indah, which means beautiful bamboo in Balinese, is minutes downriver from the town of Ubud, located amongst rice paddies and steep ravines in the central foothills of the Gianyar regency.The intimate hotel looks out at the stunning cascades of the Ayung River, a Hindu temple and multiple volcanic ridges surrounding Mount Batu Kau.Guests are led via stone paths from the bamboo-encased reception area to their special one-room cottages made of hand-carved teak. Prices range from $200 a night to $495 to stay at the hotel's suits. (dailymail.co.uk)Bakudaily.az
