01 — About Hampusidan
Not a resort. A village that teaches you how to live.
Hampusidan.com began in 2018 when two Balinese farming families and three architects refused to sell their land to a hotel chain. Instead they built a living laboratory: a place where ancient Subak irrigation meets modern permaculture, where priests bless bamboo houses, where chefs cook what the garden gives that morning.
The name Hampu + Sidan means “gathered in Sidan” — and that is exactly what we do: gather farmers, makers, surfers, writers, grandmothers and kids around food, ritual and land.
- 🌾 Subak heritage: we farm 1.1 ha of heirloom rice with 12 local families

04 — Our journey
From rice field to cultural icon
We never wanted to be Instagram-famous. We wanted to keep the water flowing, the rice growing, the kids staying. Here is how a tiny hamlet became Bali’s most loved slow-living lab.
2018 — The refusal
Families reject hotel offer. First bamboo bale built with 40 volunteers. 0.5 ha garden planted.
2020 — Roots deepen
During quiet years we plant 4000 trees, restore Subak channel, open Warung Hampu for neighbours.
2022 — Residency launch
First 12 artists arrive. Bamboo shala wins local architecture prize. Zero-waste kitchen certified.
2024 — Sidan festival
3000 guests, 60 farmers, gamelan till midnight. Hampusidan becomes Gianyar cultural calendar anchor.

Questions, answered
Where exactly is Hampusidan? How to behave in temples? Can kids come? Everything slow travellers ask before the river crossing.
Where is Hampusidan?
Banjar Sidan, Tegallalang border, Gianyar, Bali. 15 min from Ubud center, 75 min from airport. We send pin + driver contacts after booking. Parking for scooters and cars available.
Do I need to be Hindu to join ceremonies?
No. Everyone respectful is welcome. We provide sarong and sash, explain etiquette, and ask only that you come with clean heart and covered shoulders.
Is it suitable for kids and elders?
Yes! Kids love mud, ducks and kite-making. Paths are stepped — we help elders with golf-cart pickup and ground-floor rooms.
What about food allergies?
Warung Hampu cooks vegan, vegetarian and halal-friendly daily. Tell us about gluten, nut or chili limits — our garden adapts.
Can I volunteer long-term?
Our Hands-in-Soil program runs 2–8 weeks including lodging and meals. Write to us via contact section with dates and skills.
