BALI, Indonesia, Nov. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iNi ViE Hospitality announces Kaamala Resort Ubud's commitment to sustainable hospitality through its environmental and cultural initiatives. Located near the Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, the resort incorporates environmental practices, Balinese cultural traditions, and wellness experiences into its daily operations and guest programme, reflecting the group's approach to sustainable hospitality.
The resort takes its name from “Kamala,” the Sanskrit word for lotus, a symbol that informs its approach to hospitality. This concept is reflected in daily experiences that introduce guests to local customs while encouraging a more mindful connection with the surrounding environment.
Balinese Traditions and Daily Guest Experiences
The guest experience begins with a Lotus-Inspired Welcome, featuring a Balinese blessing and foot-washing ritual accompanied by bamboo music and aromatic mist. Guests can also take part in Canang Sari, the traditional art of making Balinese offerings, followed by a guided walk known as The Offering of Gratitude.
Wellness activities include Lotus Flow Pilates, which guests can follow through a guided in-room video with affirmations. Throughout their stay, visitors can explore additional cultural and culinary activities, including live cooking demonstrations, mocktail-making and sushi classes, towel-folding demonstrations, and introductory Indonesian language sessions through Learn in Bahasa.
Environmental Practices and Community Initiatives
Sustainability is incorporated into the resort’s daily operations and guest activities. Kaamala uses TERRA-filtered water as an alternative to bottled water, supported by The Water of Life ritual, which invites guests to take a mindful pour while reflecting on the importance of water conservation.
Operational measures include solar-powered systems, smart water treatment, energy-saving practices, waste sorting, tree preservation, and the use of recycled materials. An electric vehicle charging station is also available to support lower-carbon travel.
The resort prioritizes local residents for employment and training and works with local artisans and communities on cultural activities. Through The Root Ritual, guests can participate in tree planting. They may also make voluntary donations to support children and communities in nearby villages through the resort’s corporate social responsibility programme.
Kaamala’s sustainability efforts have earned it a Gold Badge from Eco Tourism Bali.
