Gandhi’s famous saying: “Be the change you want to see in the world”, perfectly describes our view and mission towards the world today. At Desa Seni, we fully support and strive for an eco-green, sustainable community.

We have built the entire resort with recycled, repurposed, or sustainable products from local sources. All the furnishings are antique, fully recycled, or re-purposed. We did not alter or change the natural land structure and local waterways, but rather respected and worked with the natural elements while protecting and preserving the environment around us.

We have also implemented different measures in order to best minimize our carbon foot print. We have set aside 40% of our land which is dedicated to organic farming for our restaurant, enabling us to produce approximately 80% of the produce we serve.

We believe in supporting the local community and economy and therefore only work with local farmers and businesses to supplement our needs. Our garbage awareness has minimized the amount of garbage we produce, composting and recycling are big solutions. Our house amenities do not produce any garbage, we serve nothing in plastic and we use organic bamboo straws for drinks. Our sheet and towel re-use program cuts down on laundry. Organic and bio degradable cleaning and washing products don’t pollute the environment and energy saving and long lasting light bulbs all help, alongside our composting programs.

In addition, we are committed to giving back to the local community and donate resources in order to provide the Pancamaya yoga twice a week in Bahasa Indonesian for all locals wishing to join. We also have the “Making Dreams Come True” fund raising program where we sponsor, support, and teach at local orphanages. One of our most successful community service initiatives is the work-study program where the older orphanage children come to Desa Seni in order to learn and apprentice in different departments for a short period and experience a true and responsible working environment.
