Desa Seni
Creative & Experiential Living
Desa Seni is designed as a place for exploration and self-expression. Daily activities are included and optional, allowing guests to participate in yoga, meditation, pranayama, mantra chanting, fire ceremonies, art, cooking, garden walks, and farming. Each day offers something different, encouraging presence, creativity, and personal rhythm.
Cultural Preservation & Architecture
Accommodation is provided in restored antique wooden homes sourced from various islands across Indonesia. Each house has its own history and has been carefully rebuilt and modernised, preserving traditional craftsmanship and original artifacts while offering contemporary comfort. The village setting celebrates Indonesia’s cultural heritage through architecture, design, and daily life.
Food, Farming & Nourishment
Food is central to the Desa Seni experience. At Seasons restaurant, led by Chef Willy Kobylt, creative and sensory-driven dishes are prepared using fresh, organic ingredients. Approximately 80% of the produce is sourced from Desa Seni’s own farms, supporting a farm-to-table approach that connects guests directly to the land and its cycles.
Local Sourcing & Community
Desa Seni prioritises working with local suppliers who share its values of organic, sustainable, and fresh production. By buying locally, the retreat supports nearby families, strengthens community relationships, and contributes to the resilience of local food systems.
Nature & Mindful Hospitality
Set within a peaceful mountain landscape, Desa Seni encourages reconnection with nature through its surroundings, activities, and pace of life. Sustainability is approached as a way of living rather than a checklist — expressed through conscious choices, shared experiences, and respect for the environment and community.
