boutique hotel in bali by archigods opens like a blooming ring of pistachio shells

Archigods unveils eco-modern boutique hotel in bali

In Ubud, Bali’s cultural heart and one of the world’s most saturated hospitality markets, Archigods introduces Pistachio Villas, a sculptural boutique hotel. This new eco-modern retreat abandons conventional typologies in favor of an instantly recognizable identity, a circle of nine villas shaped like open pistachio shells. 

The masterplan reads like a blooming pistachio flower from above — a deliberate gesture of visual impact and narrative coherence. Biomorphic volumes crafted from bamboo, timber, and stone nestle into Ubud’s lush jungle landscape, sculpting soft, sweeping lines.

Each villa opens onto private gardens, while a central pool and tropical walkway connect the compound in a continuous journey. Unlike most resorts in the area, Pistachio Villas offers guests a distinct experience rooted in slowness and softness. The Bali-based team of Archigods fills the interiors with filtered light, natural textures, and a restrained palette that enhances the feeling of retreat. Every element — from the entrance gate to the beach pool — is curated for atmospheric resonance, forming a cohesive spatial story.
