Meet your host

Putu Suciyati was born and raised in Bali, deeply connected to the island’s culture and traditions. Coming from a priestess family, she naturally understands Balinese healing practices and enjoys sharing this wisdom with her guests. Since 2016, she has created a welcoming space where visitors can experience Bali not just as travellers, but as part of a shared journey of healing and self-discovery. For Putu and her family, this isn’t just hospitality—it’s a way to honour their heritage. Beyond her work with guests, she also supports the Bali Animal Welfare Association (BAWA), helping to care for and protect stray animals, especially dogs. Her warmth, knowledge, and generosity make every stay feel like coming home.
