your Oasis

Nyoman was still in secondary school when he first encountered the concept of a NOMAD. Lacking in facilities, Nyoman’s class was relegated to moving from place to place. Since that time, Nyoman adopted the nomadic disposition to understand life and the world in which we live.

Following school, he kept moving, first to Java, and then to Kalimantan (Borneo). When he returned to Bali, he discovered the same nomadic spirit alive within the newly blossoming tourism. Nyoman focused on his art work and began developing his capacity as a guide. Another means to continue his exploration of the nomadic character.

Mr. Nomad, Ubud, BaliIn 1979, Nyoman opened NOMAD Restaurant and the first wartel (telecommunication service) in Ubud, not to thinking so much of bussiness but as a meeting place to contact the wanderers of the world. In service to these global travellers, Nyoman went on to establish Bali’s first healing facilities, transforming a property from old garbage dump to a healing sanctuary teaming with medical plants and the lush beauty of nature.
