YOU ARE INVITED
Join the Curated Bali Guide
The Curated Bali Guide 2026 was created for one purpose: to unite and celebrate the businesses preserving what makes Bali extraordinary.
As the island evolves at an unprecedented pace, it has never been more important to champion those who choose progress with purpose — the hotels, restaurants, artisans, and brands that protect culture, nurture community, and care for the land they call home. Through timeless design, thoughtful storytelling, and premium offers, the guide invites travelers, residents, and entrepreneurs to engage more consciously — transforming exploration into meaningful impact.
Slow Down. Tune in.
This is Bali.
WHY THIS CURATED GUIDE
Over the past three years, The Punch has documented hundreds of businesses making a real difference — from pioneering resorts to small, family-run brands rooted in heritage.
But today, Bali needs more than recognition — it needs action.
This guide was created to bring all stakeholders together:
the businesses leading with purpose, the residents who care, and the travelers ready to make conscious choices.
Through storytelling, transparent commitments, and direct connection, we turn awareness into participation — empowering readers to visit, book, and support the businesses preserving Bali’s true spirit.
Together, we’re building a collective that shows the world that progress and preservation can thrive side by side.

TESTIMONIALS
“In my experience, the Punch Uncovered Bali Project appears to be one that is interested in honesty. Showing the full picture of inspiring projects, what it means to strive to create beautiful experiences or do great things in Bali. Looking at unique creators and founders that have overcome challenges to build or produce one of a kind results. I recommend others to support initiatives of this nature that aren’t seeking to gloss over the real issues we must all face to create a better Bali in the future. This is no ’click-bait’ venture."
Brandon Van Slyke, Co-Founder of Hideout Bali
"So much of what Terra does in terms of sustainability is behind the scenes: from our zero waste manufacturing to our intensive six-step quality control process. The Punch Project has given us an opportunity to tell the entire story of cradle to delivery of our natural water filters. Their team didn’t just show up and take fantastic photos and video of our factory, they dedicated time with our team, asking questions and documenting every step of our process. Rarely is there a company so professional that we’d trust them to represent us completely through this journey, a journey that is often untold but the backbone of the businesses we run. We’re looking forward to a long-term partnership with the Punch and can’t wait for the Project to come out!"
Christine Manson, Founder of Terra Water Indonesia
“Our Journey with the Punch has been transformative, offering us a platform to showcase our latest innovations. Audrey’s exceptional ability to deeply understand our processes and mission was evident in her clear and concise communication of our story. The invaluable documentation they provided has supported our communications, offering new collaborations and expanding our network. We are grateful to be part of the Punch Community and look forward to shaping a future filled with shared successes amongst a growing conscious business community.”
Sara Howard, Sustainability Manager of Kevala Ceramics
