Welcome to Desa Hay

Desa Hay funds the Desa Hay Scholarship Fund, which covers the full education, from pre-school through high school, of all 25 children at the Chloe Orphans Bali orphanage.

6 villas, all the same size and layout, each with a private plunge pool and a maximum of 2 adults. The Premium Jabu differs only by a larger garden, with a hammock and a bigger deck by the pool. Rooms use Sensatia Botanicals skincare, a Balinese brand.

The Ijo restaurant sits in an open-air Javanese Joglo pavilion, reserved for guests. A deck with daybeds surrounds the communal outdoor pool. Daily yoga and cooking classes are arranged from the property.

Desa Hay sits in the Mengwi district of South Bali, on the quieter belt of the Canggu cluster, off the dense surf-bar core. Pererenan Beach is 3.6 km away, around 10 minutes by car.
