I think that’s a very good take on it

I’m guessing that many hotels chose to do outdoor bathrooms because that was how traditional Balinese bathrooms were set up in the past (or so I heard), so there’s probably some romanticising attached to the decision.

Speaking of forgetting bathroom walls, there’s actually a new Banyan Tree called ‘Buahan’, which not only forgoes bathroom walls, but the entire resort is open-air and free of walls! I’m sure they’re trying to capitalise on the novelty, but it sounds like a preposterous offering to me.
