Desa Seni Baturiti

"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
