Doro Nawas

Located just outside Ubud in Nyuhkuning Village, Alam Shanti is a peaceful intimate Balinese resort immersed in nature. Each of the 8 garden rooms are truly unique and feature the owner, Pat Ketut’s, beautiful carvings and vision to create a traditional Balinese villa family experience. 

Alam Shanti is a 10-minute walk to the Monkey Forest and Laka Leke Restaurant where you can enjoy an evening dance performance. There’s a complimentary shuttle car to and from the center of Ubud available on request. Lunch and Dinner may also be ordered in-house from Cafe Wayan or Laka Leke menus offering the option to simply eat-in and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

Alam Wangi Spa is located here where you can enjoy traditional massage or aromatherapy treatments. The Alam Wangi Cafe serves fresh healthy juices and light meals poolside. Above the spa is Ketut’s Krinting's Studio exhibiting traditional Balinese paintings by Pak Ketut himself and other local artists. Alam Shanti is a wonderful base to explore this region of Bali with hiking and biking trips past emerald rice terraces and cultural visits to temples, artisan workshops and more.

Accommodations blend in open-air Bali living with modern amenities in traditional architecture. Bapak Ketut, self-evolved from traditional artist to architect, has transformed spaces with local craftsmen and artisans. Most of our rooms have air-conditioning but you may also enjoy rooms only with ceiling fans embracing breezes and the scent of frangipani while listening to the sounds of nature. Living in “beautiful nature” means we also wish to live in harmony with other creatures of nature –such as geckos, frogs and sometimes even insects- after all, we are in the tropics!  Rooms have mosquito nets and mosquito coils are lit in the evening.
