A recent visitor to the center, Evi, told reporters, “Take a coffee-making and coffee philosophy tour, then a soap-making tour. It turns out there is a soap making class here too, but the package is different from the tour,  there is a piggy bank coloring class too.”

“There is a large space across the river suitable for events; perhaps, if the target is school children, you can hold one cosplay event in the back.”

They are on a mission “to ensure creativity and innovation of the young generation whilst facing the future – keeping a balanced conservation towards Indonesian heritage and culture.” The Secret Garden Village provides employment for dozens of young people in Bali and is pioneering the ‘edu-vacation’ concept in Tabanan Regency. 

Workshops, interactive tours, and classes that tourists can choose from include soap-making classes, which incorporate the use of plenty of locally grown ingredients, as well as a fragrance bar where tourists can design their own fragrance based on their personality and preferences from a combination of 24 different scents.

In Djamoe Corner, guests can work with the in-house herbalist to create a natural remedy to take home based on specific symptoms or needs.
