Resource-efficient design

Our resort integrates energy-saving technologies, including dimmable LED lighting, motion and door sensors that optimise air conditioning usage, and advanced energy audits to guide efficiency improvements.

Sustainable Sourcing Philosophy

We prioritise sourcing 80% of ingredients locally, with the remaining 20% imported out of necessity. Our collaborations support sustainable practices, from working with local fishermen and stingless bee honey producers to partnering with farmers who grow seasonal produce using traditional methods.

Water conservation

Water from various areas of the property is treated and repurposed to nourish our gardens and landscape. Treated water is used to maintain the greenery and replenish the Wellbeing River, with regular testing conducted to ensure it meets the highest safety standards for irrigation.

Composting

Garden waste and kitchen trimmings are recycled into natural compost, reducing reliance on chemical fertilisers by 90%. The compost enriches the soil, helping plants retain moisture, especially during dry seasons. This chemical-free process ensures healthy soil for the lush gardens.

Nature conservation

Our grounds provide a sanctuary for native species, with 80% of the original trees preserved during construction. The surrounding area is home to remarkable fauna, such as the vibrant Blue Kingfisher, thriving near our river, and sea turtles nesting along the nearby coastline.

Local communities

We collaborate with local communities to offer guests an authentic Balinese experience, from exploring traditional architecture to learning cooking and jamu-making. At The Shop, we feature handcrafted goods including Balinese songket and Javanese batik tulis, supporting the region’s cultural heritage.

Penyu Reserve

Penyu, the Indonesian word for turtle, gives its name to the resort’s conservation initiative. Penyu Reserve is an outdoor space by the shoreline created to protect sea turtle nests from birds and other predators until the hatchlings are ready to return to the ocean. The first turtle hatchlings emerged in 2023, a moment that inspired the creation of this reserve. Each year since, sea turtles have returned to our secluded beach to lay their eggs, allowing us to protect their journey and nurture this delicate cycle of life. When the hatching season begins, resident guests are invited to witness and join the release of the hatchlings into the ocean, an experience that celebrates renewal, honours the natural world, and reflects the timeless beauty of Bali’s shores.
