This Indonesian-owned luxury property, opened around 1998–2000, blends Balinese Hindu traditions, Ayurvedic principles, and natural healing to foster harmony between body, mind, and spirit. Far from crowded tourist spots, it emphasizes the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana—balance among humans, nature, and the divine—through indigenous practices like Usada healing and international wellness modalities.
