"Desa Seni It’s hard to believe Desa Seni is only a short drive from the crowded beaches and shopping strips of North Kuta and Seminyak. Amid a lush landscape of native plants and waterways, the resort’s antique wooden homes are arranged around a saltwater pool like a tiny Hindu village and were imported, restored, and decorated with bright cushions and religious artifacts. Much of the land was dedicated to an organic farm, which today is responsible for almost 80 percent of Desa Seni’s produce. Sustainability standards seep into the recycling and composting programs, too, and eco-friendly glass straws and biodegradable cleaning products are used in place of harmful alternatives. In addition to the environmental and cultural experiences provided at Desa Seni, wellness is also a focus. A number of complimentary yoga and meditation classes are held every day; the restaurant offers extensive options for healthy meals; andregular yoga and spirituality workshops are held throughout the year. Desa Seni also raises money for a local orphanage, for which it runs yoga and dance classes as well as English lessons."

"With a name that means "village of art" in Bahasa Indonesian, Desa Seni is a delight. From the moment you arrive at the open-air reception, step down into the garden, and see the thatched cabins, you'll feel like you're in a fairytale. Canggu has been advancing from a low-key surfing enclave into a bustling destination that rivals Seminyak, but this little patch—10 minutes from Berawa—still feels like a peaceful hideaway, all within grasp of the action." - Juliet Kinsman

A Transformative Mountain Retreat at Desa Seni - My stay at Desa Seni was absolutely amazing — truly a retreat for the mind, body, and soul. Nestled in the beautiful mountains of Bali, this place radiates peace and authenticity from the moment you arrive. The plant-based cuisine was nothing short of spectacular. Every meal was a vibrant, nourishing experience, crafted with such care and creativity by the chef. You can truly taste the love and intention in every bite. The accommodations were unique, charming, and deeply restorative. Each space felt thoughtfully designed, allowing me to unwind, recharge, and reconnect with myself in the most natural way. A special thank you to Thomas and his magnificent team for his wonderful attention and warmth throughout my stay — their care made the experience feel even more personal and memorable. Thank you, Desa Seni, for creating such a magical and healing environment. I left feeling grounded, inspired, and deeply grateful. I can’t wait to return! 🌿✨

A special find in rural Bali, surrounded by beauty. Led by a meticulous owner, manager, worker, Thomas and his staff make sure all your needs are met. The food was amazing. Way exceeded my expectations. Gourmet dishes morning, noon and night. Lovely lovely staff with warm smiles and eager to please. A wonderful place I would highly recommend

This is everything I could have asked for of a eco resort, beautiful, lush well kept space, a pool, yoga, meditation space, an art room where we could paint or decorate hats. The rooms were lovely, the beds comfortable, lots of attention to detail, quotes left on our beds in the evenings. The staff waited on us hand & foot & the food was delicious & nutritional (albeit would have preferred something more traditional Balinese)

I attended a fabulous yoga retreat at Desa Seni Baturiti. It filled my cup and left me serene and recharged to face whatever life wants to throw at me. The location is remote but that what makes the retreat so special. It is so easy to cocoon yourself in nature and reconnect to the earth. The staff were so kind and the chef Willie was so clever in turning the produce grown on the premises to the most wonderful tasty creations. The proprietor and host Thomas personally checked in and connected with everyone. I hope to return someday 🙏

Desa Seni was the perfect place to start our holiday in Bali. It's in a lush, relaxing part of the island, away from any traffic. The property itself is stunning, every room is an authentic Indonesia house. The light and warmth and scale is really special. The furnishings, fabrics, landscaping and sculpture are all stunning. One of the many simple pleasures was walking along the smooth rock paths that crisscross the gardens and looking at plants and art along the way. We spent a lot of time sitting by the beautiful, natural stone pool, drinking ginger tea. An unexpected highlight was the phenomenal food. Every dish was so well considered. The chef uses local ingredients (many grown onsite) and flavours and takes them to another level. We looked forward to every meal. The service was excellent, we felt very well looked after. After checking out, I dropped my credit card and Thomas got in touch and arranged to have it delivered to where I was staying, close to an hour's drive away. Many thanks!

Desa Seni:where you go to touch base with your soul. I brought my four kids and to be thrown out of our comfort zone into the unknown was such a leveler. The phones took a backseat in comparison to the fun of the art studio, our so cute and genius wooden house, the fabulous vegan menu, therapeutic yoga, hilaroius rmorning runs through fields and dirt tracks. and torchlight evening walks. This pure and peaceful haven has everything you could wish for. It's both homely and cool, respectful to nature yet so holitcally nourishing and most of all it's so welcoming. That's why here you can meet your soul. The trees sway like yoga postures. The Yoga classes move with earth energy. The food is like a work of art; exactly what you need and prepared with love. Not least the wall muriel and art everywhere, the oversized stepping stones and beautiful medicinal flowers which only add to this dreamlike wonderment. Whether you go on your own or with friends or family here you will find your resting place and leave feeling refuelled with a new appreciation for your own journey and the world around you.

I just visited this resort and was absolutely jaw-dropped — it’s just so mystical and serene. Everything feels like it’s been crafted with care and purpose. The villas, the pools, the restaurant, the art center — all of it is stunning and deeply relaxing. The food at the restaurant was so delicious that I even wrote a separate review just for that! The team at Desa Seni is incredibly kind and competent — one staff member even held my baby quite a bit, which was super helpful (and sweet!). If you’re looking for a retreat — whether romantic, personal, or for a business/team-building getaway — this is the place.
