A curated
living collection

Not a directory.
A personal selection of places, people and experiences that inspire us, nourish us, and make Bali feel like home.

These are the addresses we return to.
The ones we trust.
The ones we love.

Our
Story

Villa Kawi was born from a simple belief:
hospitality is an art of attention.

From boutique hotels to a creative hub, from meaningful restaurants to a phinisi sailing the seas, we create places where beauty meets soul.

This book is an extension of that world—an invitation to discover Bali through our eyes.

With love,
Alexa
& the Villa Kawi team
