Meet Your Host

🌴 Welcome to Our Little Corner of Bali


This is the family home of Putu Artana and Ria, and also where you’ll find Rumah Riang, our cozy holiday home. Both are located in the same peaceful setting, where you’ll experience genuine Balinese warmth, comfort, and hospitality.

Tucked away in the peaceful village of Mayong in North Bali, Rumah Riang is more than just a holiday home — it’s an invitation to experience the heart and soul of Balinese life. Hosted by the warm and welcoming Putu Artana, Ria, and their family, this charming retreat offers a unique blend of authentic culture, nature, and heartfelt hospitality.

Putu Artana is your local expert and guide, passionate about sharing the rich traditions of his homeland. With deep knowledge of the area, he offers insightful guided walks through lush rice fields, introduces guests to village customs, and shares stories that connect you to the spirit of Bali. Whether you’re exploring hidden temples or learning about daily offerings, Putu makes every moment meaningful.

Ria brings the warmth of Balinese hospitality to your plate. A talented home chef, she masterfully adapts traditional recipes to suit international tastes without losing their authentic flavor. From her fragrant lemongrass chicken to crisp corn fritters and vibrant urab (vegetable salad), every meal is a celebration of local flavor and love.

A Truly Local Experience

Each day at Rumah Riang is an opportunity to discover something new — not through tours, but through genuine encounters. Share laughter over home-cooked meals, join us in preparing offerings for the family temple, or simply unwind on the veranda to the soothing sounds of nature.


Come as guests, leave as friends.
At Rumah Riang, we welcome you not just into our home, but into our hearts. Let your journey to Bali be more than a vacation — let it be a memory you carry for life.
