Nestled along the coastal edge of Tabanan, Bali, Nuanu emerges as a tangible manifestation of innovation, collaboration, and global change. Encompassing an expansive 44 hectares, this creative hub serves as a melting pot for dynamic communities where creators, leaders, and change-makers converge to drive positive transformations. As an integrated ecosystem, Nuanu introduces dedicated spaces for education, arts & culture, healthcare, experiences, and nature-inspired living.

Sergey Solonin, the Founder of Nuanu, expressed the vision behind the project, stating, "Our vision extends beyond being just a tourist destination; we aim to create a thriving ecosystem designed to inspire, connect, and catalyze positive changes. We are incredibly excited to soon unveil to the public the results of four years of contemplation and efforts in building this creative haven."

"Our journey over the past four years has been a dynamic one, with projects aligned with our vision of harmonious living. During this incubation period, we've experimented with various initiatives, each contributing to our commitment to creating a dynamic community that aligns with nature, humanity, and the Creator - a principle deeply rooted in Balinese philosophy, Tri Hita Karana. We are thrilled to welcome visitors to experience our innovative spaces and facilities firsthand," said Ida Ayu Astari Prada, Brand Communications Director of Nuanu.

In contributing to the development of Bali's property market, Nuanu collaborates with leading experienced parties in developing recreational spaces and residences to ensure harmony between urban living and the natural world. Nuanu has partnered with Nuanu Property Group, UNIT Space, and OXOLiving to build an elite residential complex consisting of technologically advanced homes that allow residents to experience a blend of modern luxury and sustainable lifestyle. Nuanu ensures that this living experience is carefully designed to align with the ethos of the creative city.

In 2025, Nuanu is poised to welcome a host of exciting experiences and initiatives that are expected to further enrich Nuanu as a creative hub. One such initiative is the Eugene Museum, a unique collaboration with Japanese-American artist Eugene Kangawa. Designed by renowned Indonesian architect Andra Martin, this museum serves as a unique space for art enthusiasts. Curated by Kangawa himself, the museum will showcase a diverse collection of his works reflecting his long-term theme of 'Symbiosis,' integrating abundant natural light to create a stunning masterpiece in the landscape and facilities of Nuanu.

The Head is a spiral-shaped space inspired by the Nautilus shell, designed as a meeting point for culinary, artistic, craft, and creative experiences to form an inclusive forefront experience open to all ages.

Driving Change through Collective Movement

Nuanu integrates corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities into its business model by allocating a portion of profits to the Nuanu Social Fund (NSF) to drive positive social and environmental changes. This fund aims to empower communities and create tangible societal impacts, emphasizing cooperation and collaboration. Some transformative projects supported by NSF include establishing an educational center in Beraban Village, Tabanan, to empower children with computer skills, and preserving Gambang, a 300-year-old Gamelan musical instrument, ensuring its heritage thrives for future generations. Nuanu's CSR philosophy emphasizes unity, valuing every individual and stakeholder contribution in shaping a shared future for meaningful impacts and changes.
