"Bloo is the new green" is the play with words that identifies the need to concentrate on preserving all of earth resources, from land, to air to sea and, given that Bloo Lagoon is perched above the Lombok strait and the beautiful Blue Lagoon beach, the blue is to us as important as the green. We strive to integrate new technologies to save energy and natural resources and we adopt ways of composting, growing food and recycling water. But perhaps the most important contribution to conserving the planet is our vision of a simpler life where the superfluous is gradually phased out.

Bloo Lagoon is home to twenty five villas individually owned that share facilities and staff, a beautiful 18 meter lap pool, an amphitheatre and an open air deck pavilion suitable for yoga and other activities. In addition, include a restaurant, lounge/library area and spa.

Rates are seasonal; please visit our website for more information.

“ I came to a full realization that I had been playing the victim all along and that I chose to    experience the pain and suffering so that I could recognize the truth, which is, everything is connected and there is no separation except what the ego mind creates.”
“I am ever so grateful for having experienced this higher level of consciousness and continue my path and journey in this beautiful creative expression of life…..”
Brenda Lee, Jazz Singer, Perth, Western Australia.

“Our days were filled with meditation, Deeksha (Oneness Blessings), beautiful food and conversations to expand our consciousness, and in the background there was always a stillness and an overwhelming sense of gratitude for what is.”
“I left the Centre feeling that my heart had truly been opened and having a sense of genuinely being connected to myself and to the Oneness that is all things. Since coming home I have felt a profound shift in my way of Being. I am much more conscious and aware and am able to separate who I am from what I think. It is not so much that my life has become easier or less demanding, but I now know how to access that stillness and the divine connection within, so that whatever life offers me is received with gratitude and love.” Marnie Mowatt, Perth, Western Australia
