DESTINATION OF THE MONTH

Nadi’s Living Loop:
Hospitality that Regenerates with Purpose

Some places invite you to look inward without ever closing your eyes. Nadi, a nature resort in the misty contours of Tabanan, Bali, is one of them. Just a 30-minute drive from the UNESCO-protected rice terraces of Jatiluwih, this is a place where the conversation is not led by words, but by the breath of waterfalls, the hush of wind through forest, and the soil—dark, alive, and humming with a memory older than maps.

FEATURED DESTINATIONS

Hotel • Lombok

INNIT’s Journey Through Fire, Sea, and Soil

There’s a quiet rhythm to the southeastern edge of Lombok. A hush where cliff meets sea, where salt air hangs low over fields of corn and stone. This is where INNIT Lombok lives–not built so much as revealed. A place not for spectacle, but for listening. For restraint. For return.

Hotel • Lombok

Sempiak Seaside Resort: The Sound of Stillness

Tucked quietly along the southern curve of Lombok, far from the buzz of Bali yet close enough to feel its breath, Sempiak doesn’t announce itself. It waits with open skies, soft light, and a stillness that is both grounding and liberating.

Café • Canggu

The Avocado Factory: Made to Remember, Built to Belong

The Avocado Factory is Bali’s first avocado bar, inspired by Edis and Adis Dozovic’s journey from Italy to Australia, where they fell in love with the fruit’s role in everyday café culture. In Canggu, they’ve turned that love into a space where avocado is more than a trend—it’s a way of living.

Retreat • Central Bali

Desa Seni: Remembering the Land, Relearning the Way

Desa Seni first opened in Berawa in 2005, when the area was still all rice fields and fireflies. As Bali evolved, so did the village—quietly relocating to the cooler highlands, where forests grow thick and the land breathes slow.

Collection • Ubud

Tao Collection: A Sanctuary
