Handara Golf & Resort Bali Named Asia’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility 2025 at World Golf Awards
BEDUGUL, BALI — 2025. Handara Golf & Resort Bali has achieved international distinction as Asia’s Best Eco-Friendly Golf Facility 2025, awarded by the World Golf Awards. This recognition validates Handara’s operational philosophy: a model of responsible tourism that prioritizes the ecological integrity of the Bedugul mountains through efficient and sustainable land management.
Located within the ancient crater of Bali’s northern region, Handara was designed to coexist with the surrounding forests and lakes. This award confirms that sustainability here is not a marketing concept, but an active, daily requirement across the course and resort facilities.
The World Golf Awards evaluates global destinations on facility excellence and environmental stewardship. The 2025 title is reserved for facilities that successfully balance championship-level standards with resource efficiency, landscape management, and ecosystem preservation.
“This award is the result of our efforts to maintain a balance between resort operations and the preservation of Bedugul,” said Shan Ramdas, General Manager of Handara Golf & Resort Bali. “Operating in a mountain region makes us realize that sustainability is not a choice, but a responsibility that is integrated into how we work every day.”
Handara’s approach moves beyond standard hospitality through a closed-loop operational model. This includes climate-specific turf care and a comprehensive composting system that redirects organic waste to nourish the fairways and gardens. Supported by a property-wide “Plastic Detox” and the “Adopt a Tree” reforestation initiative, these efforts reflect a growing global shift toward travel that leaves a lighter footprint.
Away from the fairways, Handara remains a preserve for travelers seeking the clarity and silence of the caldera, removed from the density of southern Bali. With this title, Handara Golf & Resort Bali reaffirms its position as a destination where world-class golf and environmental integrity are inseparable.
