Looking to get off the beaten path on your next trip to Bali? Add the Samsara Living Museum to your Bali bucket list for an incredible cultural and gastronomic experience you’ll absolutely love 🇮🇩❤️

Located in a remote village in East Bali, this hidden gem offers a deeper understanding and appreciation of Indonesian culture and rural communities — especially through learning all about the 15 key life ceremonies, from pregnancy to funeral. It was truly fascinating, especially now that I’m fortunate to call Bali my second home 🫶🏻

You’ll also get to enjoy an immersive culinary experience and participate hands-on as you learn about local cuisine — from making health tonics to preparing a delicious feast and sampling their homemade Samsara Arak. It’s such a fun and meaningful way to spend a few hours.

This was definitely a highlight from my recent trip with @wonderfulindonesia to “Go Beyond Ordinary.” I think it’s incredibly important to explore lesser-known destinations when traveling — especially in Bali, where so many people stick to the main hubs like Uluwatu, Canggu/Seminyak, and Ubud (all incredible, but there’s so much more to discover).

This would be the perfect activity to do while you’re staying in East Bali, and I’d suggest booking a night stay in the nearby Sidemen area for lush jungle vibes and iconic volcano views.

I have tons of photos to share soon. Huge thanks to everyone at @samsaralivingmuseum for an incredible day — I’ll definitely be back!
