Kaura Bali started as a community project with Discova with the reparation of a damaged irrigation pipe that threatened the survival of the entire community who was heavily dependent on rice farming.
Today, the villagers of Manggis are transforming tourism with experiences that are both created and guided by the community. Each moment connects adventurous travellers closer to village culture.
Manggis is appointed on the sweeping terraces of eastern Bali, with the fertile volcanic hillside as a stunning backdrop to the vibrant colour of village life. The crystal waters of the Java Sea are just a short cycle away; it is the perfect base to explore the region.
“I’m so proud to be working hand-in-hand with Discova and the people of Manggis to bring Kaura to life.” said CEO of Cross Hotels & Resorts, Harry Thaliwal. “Our goal of self-sustaining retreats, created in partnership with local communities, is at the core of Cross’s vision for an evolving industry. Through education and sustainable development with the villagers, Kaura will deliver life-changing experiences for travellers.”
