HOW IT ALL STARTED

Two decades ago, being eco-friendly was not well known in the world. Furthermore, Canggu was a faraway place from Seminyak and Kuta in Bali which were more widely known to tourists in the early 2000s. Very few people would venture out. Daniel was very keen on changing the mindset of unhealthy eating habits and introduce permaculture in Canggu, Bali. Although Serenity Bali started small when it first opened, the family was dedicated to follow their principles and make Serenity a place where travellers can enjoy yoga, nature, and healthy food. All in one place.

THE EXPANSION OF SERENITY BALI AND WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE

After decades of chemical spraying the rice fields, farmers sold the land cheaply as nothing would grow. We built our family home on low quality soil.

Afterwards, what was once a family house is now one of the most sought after Bali Yoga Retreats in the area. Over the years, the family extended their business to meet the growing demand of yoga travellers and health-conscious people. At present, Serenity Bali houses over 80 beds, 5 yoga studios and has opened new branches on the same street (Jalan Nelayan). It is known as one of Bali's most eco-friendly Guesthouses. Serenity only uses natural insecticides and pesticides and uses soap nuts to wash their dishes. Customers can even take a tour around our permaculture garden and learn about the grey water waste system as well as composting.

The Serenity Eco-Guesthouse & Yoga also offers daily Bali Yoga classes, affordable yoga retreat packages, and multiple yoga teacher trainings throughout the year. Serenity Bali is a smoke and alcohol-free Guesthouse, and an official Vipassana meditation group sitting center that’s held every Monday & Wednesday at 5-6 pm (for old students only). Alkaline Restaurant, located inside Serenity, is 100% vegan with a broad variety of raw dishes. Our philosophy is “may our food be your medicine” and we have many diverse homemade meals, with no MSG or chemical enhancements added. Guests can also enjoy a deep relaxation moment at our in-house spa, which offers different massage styles, various treatments and consultations. Our simple motto is “grow your mind and body, go green, all with Serenity”.
