Our Story
The heart and soul of Harum Sari Retreat
The Harum Sari Team
Our story begins in 2022, when founder Keiko partnered with Dewa to create Harum Sari Retreat on this sacred local Balinese land. As founders and stewards, we believe we are caring for this land and its gifts for future generations to come.
What started as a simple vision—creating a space where people could heal in the embrace of Balinese nature and culture—has grown into a sanctuary that has touched lives from around the world.
Today, Dewa manages Harum Sari Retreat with deep dedication, building something meaningful in this sacred space for all who come after.
Harum Sari means "the fragrance of essence" in Balinese. Located just 10 minutes from central Ubud yet worlds away from the bustle, we offer the perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility. This is not a place for quick fixes. We're here because we believe in the power of authentic healing, cultural connection, and the sacred.

"Real healing happens when you feel truly welcome. That's what we create."
— Dewa, Retreat Manager
Tri Hita Karana
Our philosophy is rooted in the Balinese principle of Tri Hita Karana—three causes of well-being: harmony with God, harmony with people, and harmony with nature.

Harmony with the spiritual realm. Daily offerings and ceremonies maintain the sacred energy of our space.
