Desa Kayu is a small wood-built property in Kaba-Kaba, Bali — five private bungalows, two saltwater pools, and a shala for yoga, breathwork and small group retreats.
Each bungalow is named for the material or spirit it was built around — in order, from the front of the property to the back. Want to see every room? Visit the full gallery.
The original: the first house Alex built on the property, the one that started it all.
Jati's A-frame sibling, with a plunge tub on the dining deck.
The group house: three bedrooms and a wide living/dining great room.
A private plunge pool and a covered porch over the rice fields.
The newest house — a quiet one-bedroom with its own loft office.
Every house is built from reclaimed teak and bamboo, with natural latex mattresses and natural septic and draining systems underneath. The only exceptions are the pools (cement) and the electronics.
Both pools on the property are saltwater — gentler on skin and hair, no chlorine smell, and steadier day-to-day sanitation than a chlorinated pool.
