COLLABORATE WITH US
The Punch is a curated editorial platform and community highlighting businesses that operate with care.
Viewed by 85,000+ readers each month, we showcase hotels, restaurants, experiences, brands, and suppliers that respect Bali’s culture, honour heritage, and commit to responsible practices, while delivering high-quality experiences.
Here, sustainability is not a trend and quality is not optional.
Each business is selected for how it operates as much as for what it offers — balancing responsibility, authenticity, and excellence.
Being featured on The Punch is not about promotion.
It is about credibility, alignment, and long-term positioning within a trusted ecosystem.
Why Businesses Choose The Punch
Bali offers endless choices.
Businesses that genuinely operate with intention are harder to identify.
The Punch was born to bring clarity.
Through independent editorial curation and conscious storytelling, we go beyond aesthetics to explore why a place matters, how it operates, and the impact it creates. Our platform is used by travelers, residents, and entrepreneurs seeking thoughtful, responsible choices — and by businesses who want to be understood, not just seen.
The result is real-world impact: trust, visibility, visits, and long-term relationships built on shared values.

“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
