À propos
Le jardin d'abord, les bâtiments ensuite
Un sanctuaire boutique de bien-être et de retraites dans le nord de Bali
Alamanda began as a family garden on the hill behind Kalibukbuk, and the buildings came afterwards, which is why the planting is older than the walls and keeps arriving through them.
It is deliberately small. Twelve units, one Shala, two pools, one kitchen. At that size the team knows everyone's name by the second morning, breakfast can be late, and a retreat group can take the whole place without displacing a hotel's worth of other guests.
We are not a resort with a yoga class on the timetable. The practice, the food and the garden are the same project, run by people who live in Buleleng and intend to still be here in twenty years.

Notre façon de travailler
Quatre principes auxquels nous tenons
Small on purpose
Twelve units. We have turned down every plan to build more.
Local by default
Teachers, therapists, drivers and crew are all from North Bali.
Honest about what we are not
No beach club, no spa palace, no nightlife. Lovina at nine in the evening is quiet.
Water and waste
Filtered refill stations instead of plastic bottles, and garden greywater irrigation.
Hôtes
Dans leurs mots
“Nous étions venus pour quatre nuits et avons tout réorganisé pour pouvoir en rester onze. La pratique du matin, puis la mer. Je n'ai jamais dormi comme ça.”
Marieke · Utrecht
“J'ai amené quatorze élèves. Le Shala, la nourriture et l'équipe ont rendu mon travail presque invisible, j'ai pu vraiment enseigner.”
Élodie · Retreat facilitator, Lyon
“Le nord de Bali est une île différente. Des routes tranquilles, des dauphins à six heures, et ce jardin où revenir.”
