THE PRANA DEWI FAMILY
ABOUT US
Prana Dewi is a family run resort that was founded in 2001 by the late I Gede Hanjaya (Dehan), a local Balinese who grew up in Wongaya Gede, the village in which the resort is located. Dehan’s love for traditional architecture and understanding of the land gave life to his vision that became Prana Dewi Mountain Resort. This resort is his heritage.
Starting with just three bungalows and a restaurant, slowly over the years and with the support of the environmental organization The Samdhana Institute, Prana Dewi has grown into the present fourteen bungalows, restaurant and yoga/meeting hall. Today we welcome guests from all over the world and successfully host yoga and meditation retreats as well as environmental workshops regularly.
The word Prana stands for air, breath and life energy while Dewi refers to Dewi Sri, the widely worshiped Balinese rice and fertility goddess. At Prana Dewi Mountain Resort we want to show you an alternative and unforgettable Bali experience away from the busy touristic areas. A place to unwind in harmony with nature.
