In the green silence of Umalas, among protected rice fields and untouched tropical vegetation, emerges the boutique hotel Magia de Uma, a haven that seems to be suspended in time. 
Just a few minutes from Seminyak and Canggu, but secluded from the fast pace of the south coast, the hotel is part of the Design Hotels community and offers a getaway where nature and architecture coexist in perfect harmony.

The project is the brainchild of Jacopo and Rosa Sertoli, who approached the space with a profound respect for its history. Instead of erasing the marks of time, they chose to reveal them, allowing the identity of the place to remain visible. By protecting the land, sacred trees and traditional craft techniques, they champion a form of hospitality rooted in Indonesian heritage.

Bungalows and villas are clustered around structures that are around 150 years old, preserving the original wood, traditional construction techniques and tools once used in the rice fields, and now displayed as decorative elements. The architecture seems to breathe with the landscape and allows light, texture and silence to become essential elements. In collaboration with Gabriele Salini, head of the GS Collection hotel group, the hotel asserts itself as a cultural manifesto where Indonesian craftsmanship, local art and natural materials define the aesthetic language.

The bungalows combine wood, stone and handmade tiles, balanced by subtle contemporary interventions that ensure comfort without compromising their identity.
