A Living Wellness Village in Bali
Stay, practice life, and reconnect through nature, food, and community.
In the mountains of Baturiti, Desa Seni brings together nature, wellness, art, culture and community in a place designed to be experienced rather than simply visited.
More than a stay — Desa Seni is a space to reconnect, restore, and return to what matters.

Color Outside the Lines!
Come explore the evocative works of our first in-house resident artist, Howard Kurtzman, who spent two months immersed in the Balinese way of life. His cross-cultural reflections on canvas offer a powerful window into self-realization and the shared human experience.
Get Ready to Color Outside the Lines! 🎨✨
From May 30th to July 30th, Desa Seni is bursting with creativity as we welcome our very first Artist in Residence — the wildly imaginative Howard Kurtzman!
A self-taught artist with a passion for pushing limits, Howard invites you to tap into your inner child, get a little messy, and explore your creative spark. Over two magical months, he’ll be teaching, creating, sharing stories, and building a one-of-a-kind body of work that will all come together in a joyful solo show and community gathering.
Think art, heart, and a whole lot of fun.
Classes, talks, and surprises coming soon!
Stay tuned—and stay curious.
In and About
Dedicated to kula, community, we dedicate this space to the varied retreats that we will be hosting in our village along with supporting great charitable work that makes a difference in peoples lives.
“Without community service, we would not have strong quality of life. It is important to the person who serves as well as the recipient. It is the way in which we grow and develop.”
