“Kahua Institute is the best retreat space I have stayed in. The people and the atmosphere are truly magical.”

“Thank you Raphael & Kutira, for your sacred mountainside retreat. So many beautiful, thoughtful love filled details created a sanctuary for pure relaxation for us.”

“I never expected that in this life I would live in a bamboo house or wake to see the sun rise on the ocean ‘beneath’ my head. You have created a magical place here and it has been wonderful to share it with you. I shall never forget this place.”

“Wow! Incredible! This place Rocks! We love it! Love you all. The Family here is caring and full of fun, spirit, nurturing and love. The moon is full and glowing mystically through the window! With love and appreciation,”

“Staying at the Bamboo Temple at the Kahua Institute is among the most glorious retreats that can be experienced.  The entire mandala house [Bamboo Temple], with its complete amenities, is built around a magical octagonal bed in front of which is a window, as wide as the horizon.  The panorama includes shoreline, ocean and sky framed like dramatic curtains by palm trees on one side, and tall papyrus reeds on the other.  Tastefully paradisiacal.  Balinese statues of lovers peak in at the window as the guests take a cue from the mating whales whose tails flip up in the panorama.  Creativity fairly seethes in this ideal tropical environment. At the Kahua Institute, all of the residences are superb.   No wonder you feel so vividly alive here.  There are no interfering power lines.  The founders, Kutira and Raphael have been off the grid with their eco-sustainable technologies for years.  World famous teachers in the sacred art of Tantra, Kutira and Raphael are also acclaimed musicians with numerous albums of original music that is etherial, energetic, and uplifting. We recommend gifting yourself and a loved one with two weeks or more at the Kahua Institute taking advantage of all that they offer and have one of the most memorable experiences of a lifetime.”
