Ibah Ubud

Heritage & Place

Ibah was built on ancestral land gifted to the founding family and is now carefully stewarded by the next generation. Set within a landscape rich in spiritual significance, the property reflects a deep respect for Balinese heritage through architecture guided by traditional principles such as Sapta Rsi and Asta Kosala Kosali, ensuring harmony between space, nature, and spirit.

Tri Hita Karana in Practice

Ibah’s philosophy is shaped by Tri Hita Karana — the Balinese principle of balance between humans, nature, and the divine. This guides daily operations, guest experiences, and long-term decision-making, encouraging meaningful connection rather than excess.

Sustainable Food & Farming

Central to Ibah’s environmental commitment is Ibah Farm, where biodynamic and permaculture practices are used to nurture soil health and grow nutrient-rich produce. Ingredients from the farm support organic dining at Wana Restaurant, creating a direct relationship between land, food, and guest experience.
