You will discover that life at Villa IPSA moves at a slightly slower pace than in the city, a place where calmness, learning, and nature beautifully come together. Nestled in the peaceful highlands of North Bali, IPSA Villa invites you to experience the authentic rhythm of Balinese village life, surrounded by green valleys, rice terraces, and cool mountain air.
Our Origins
Villa IPSA traces its roots back to the early 1990s, when it was originally established as a training center for herbal farming and EM (Effective Microorganism) technology. It was the home and learning ground of Mr. G.N. Wididana, affectionately known worldwide as Pak Oles, a pioneer in sustainable agriculture and the founder of the EM movement in Indonesia.
Pak Oles envisioned this place as a space where people could reconnect with nature, learn the wisdom of the land, and embrace a healthy, balanced way of living. Through his passion for environmental innovation and natural wellness, Villa IPSA became not just a center for learning, but a living example of harmony between humans and nature.
From Learning Center to Wellness Retreat
As time went by, and as European travelers began to explore the hidden beauty of Munduk and North Bali, we gradually transformed our training center into a boutique resort and retreat space. We added new facilities to ensure comfort while maintaining the original essence of natural simplicity and sustainability.
Today, Villa IPSA continues to grow as a wellness retreat destination, offering an inspiring blend of culture, comfort, and community. The spacious yoga shala open to the fresh mountain breeze has become the soul of the villa. Every morning, guests are invited to join free yoga classes, and each month we host Yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong retreats, attracting visitors and practitioners from all over the world.
Experience and Connection
Beyond yoga and wellness, guests are welcome to take part in home-cooking lessons, herbal workshops, and trekking adventures through waterfalls and nature trails. These experiences offer more than just relaxation they invite you to reconnect with the land, the locals, and yourself.
Each room at Villa IPSA features a private veranda overlooking lush tropical valleys, the perfect spot to enjoy the golden sunset over Bali’s northern hills. We also provide free shuttle service to central Munduk for those who wish to explore local life and attractions nearby.
Our Spirit
Villa IPSA remains deeply connected to its roots to the vision of Pak Oles, who believed that a meaningful life begins with harmony between nature, body, and soul. His legacy continues to guide everything we do: from how we care for our land to how we welcome every guest as part of our extended family.
We look forward to welcoming you soon
