Semestha means the universe in Sanskrit, Gruha means house.
Semestha Gruha is a space to commune with the universe, to be one with the natural energies. It is in Bali, the island where the Gods, humans and Nature love each other.
It is our home. And we invite you to share the experience of being one with the Universe.
THE HOME
Semestha Gruha is our dream come true.
It was created based on our ecological and
spiritual vision. We wanted a home that is
ecologically and socially friendly. A refuge
to rejuvenate from the hustle bustle of the
phenomenal world.
The rooms are placed to create maximum light and energy flow, thus reducing the need for electricity during the day and air regulator at all times. It was designed based on the ancient Vedic science of placement called Vaastu Vidya.
The home is surrounded by open space and there are lots of places where you can sit and relax, be with yourself or commune with the universe. It gives you a sense of being outside, even when you are inside.
Semestha Gruha is a smoke free environment.

THE ECOLOGY and the GARDEN
