Say hello to Kaura Bali, a new immersive village experience developed in Manggis, East Bali. Together with Cross Hotels & Resorts and in collaboration with the local villagers, we are opening this passion project to guests in the coming months.
The retreat was born from our collective desire to elevate and support the sustainable growth of the community of Manggis. If you’ve followed our story here from the beginning, you know that the villagers faced dire economic obstacles here during the onslaught of the pandemic.
You can follow our history with Manggis here: Manggis Part I, Manggis Part II, Manggis Part III, Manggis Part IV.
Where they once struggled to produce enough rice to sustain themselves following the breakage of an irrigation pipe, the community now thrives off organic farming initiatives, raised income sources and skills development. And now they lead, share and benefit from the experiences delivered at the Kaura Bali retreat.
