CULTIVATING HOLISTIC WELLNESS
Founded in 2011 by a group of conscious, creative, live food enthusiasts, Alchemy is as a place for transformation. They believe health is the first step towards transformation and emphasize the connection between our consumption, thoughts, and overall well-being. It began with a restaurant in Ubud, Bali, now renowned as a haven for vegans. Drawing health enthusiasts, Alchemy expanded to include a holistic clinic specializing in alternative treatments and supplements. In 2021, a second restaurant location opened in Bali, alongside the launch of a dedicated yoga and meditation center, enriching their holistic offerings.
