A closer look at Gdas Bali

Twenty seven rooms and villas in the wood-carving village of Mas, five minutes from Ubud, set into rice paddies with the volcanoes on the skyline. Gdas Bali opened in November 2022, joined Small Luxury Hotels of the World a few months later, and runs the whole property vegan, alcohol free and smoke free. Its wellness zone, The Bali Eden, is where the money went: cryotherapy, salt chamber, LIVE O2, IV drips, stem cell therapy, three kinds of heat and a contrast pool. This record is about something else. It asks what the building does to a guest who sleeps in it, and reports what the property publishes, line by line.

Jordan Lineham visited Gdas Bali for Human Garage on 30 October 2025, filmed as an interview with the director. Seen on site: the setting between rice fields and jungle. The director's account on camera of the kitchen garden, an avocado farm being built with the village, avoiding plastic, towel reuse and the wellness facilities is recorded as the property's statement. EMF was the thinnest area of the visit and nothing is claimed on it; water, light and sound did not come up on film either. The scope of the visit is not on file. We know the owners, and the property is a Certified Spaces client.

Evidence

Wellness Score 7.5, last changed 12 Oct 2026 when the newest evidence was read. It moves only when evidence does. How the score is made

Low-toxin materialsStatedFiltered drinking waterNot publishedCooking oils namedNot publishedOrganic foodNot publishedMould and damp addressedNot publishedEMF consideredNot published

Publishing something is not the same as it being good. Every line below was read and placed by a person, not scored by a machine. What each rung means

Verified in person means a Human Garage Certified Spaces assessor saw it on site. Named means the property published something you can look up: a brand, a product or a number. Stated means it says so with nothing behind it. Not published means we looked and found nothing, which is a gap in our reading and not an answer about the building.

The evidence, area by area

Sources for this page

Air4 notes

  • 4 stated

The air in a closed room is what you breathe for eight hours. What decides it is the filter grade, the fresh air rate, and whether damp has ever been looked for.

  • UV-C lights, purpose unstated

    On their websiteHot yoga studio

    The hot yoga studio is published with UV-C lights. No purpose, output or coverage is stated, and it is a studio rather than a sleeping space.

    Source

  • Air conditioning, filter unstated

    On their websiteGuest rooms

    Rooms are published with controllable air conditioning. No filter grade, ventilation rate or air measurement is published.

    Source

  • Smoke free, alcohol free

    On their website

    The whole property is published as smoke free and alcohol free.

    Source

  • Aromatherapy, fragrant wood panelling

    On their websiteGuest rooms

    In-room amenities are published as including organic herb aromatherapy, and the room panelling is described as fragrant wood. Recorded as a scent load in the sleeping space, and not credited.

    This did not meet the criterion it was recorded against.

    Source
What to ask them
  • What filter grade is fitted to guest room air handling, for example MERV 13 or HEPA H13?
  • What is the fresh air supply rate per person in a guest room?
  • Are carbon dioxide, particulate or volatile organic compound levels measured, and are the readings published?
  • Is there a mould inspection and remediation protocol, and when was it last run?
  • Are there gas cooktops, fireplaces or other combustion sources inside guest rooms?

Water1 note

  • 1 stated

You drink it, cook with it and stand under it. What is in it depends on the source and on what, if anything, filters it, and both are things a property can name.

  • Tap not for drinking

    On their website

    The property publishes that tap water is not for drinking and that bottled water is provided for drinking and brushing teeth. No treatment train for the building and no panel is published.

    This did not meet the criterion it was recorded against.

    Source
What to ask them
  • What is the water source, and what treatment is applied before it reaches a guest room?
  • Is there a published contaminant test panel, and which laboratory ran it?
  • Is shower and bath water filtered, and to what specification?
  • How are pools and spas sanitised, and is the chemistry published?
  • How is drinking water delivered, and is it treated on site?

Light & sleep2 notes

  • 2 stated

Light is what tells a body the time of day. The part a building controls is what its fittings emit and when, which a named product or a colour temperature makes checkable.

  • Bedside lighting control panel

    On their websiteGuest rooms

    Rooms are published with a lighting control panel at the bedside. No colour temperature, dimming range or flicker specification is published.

    Source

  • Floor-to-ceiling glass doors

    On their websitePool villas

    The pool villas are published with floor-to-ceiling glass doors and windows on the ground floor. No daylight figure is published.

    Source
What to ask them
  • Is guest room lighting tunable or circadian, and what specification is published?
  • What colour temperatures are used in the evening, and are fixtures flicker free?
  • Do sleeping areas have full blackout, and is it specified?
  • What daylight access does a typical room have?
  • Is exterior lighting shielded or reduced overnight?

Materials5 notes

  • 1 confirmed by the property
  • 4 stated

The things you sleep on and touch: the mattress, the sheets, the pillows, and the paints, glues and finishes around them. A named fabric, a fibre content or a certification can be looked up. A structural palette tells you about the building, not about the bed.

  • Carved wood, stone, marble

    On their websiteGuest rooms

    Rooms are published with hand-carved wood finishing, wood panelling on the walls and ceiling, grey stone floors, a green marble vanity and a black stone bathtub, carved by craftsmen from the village of Mas. No species, quarry or supplier is named.

    Source

  • Refillable toiletry dispensers

    On their website

    Toiletries are published as refillable dispensers, with in-room amenities of bamboo, wood, stone, rattan and pandan leaf. No brand is named.

    Source

  • Plant-based insect repellent, unnamed

    On their website

    A plant-based insect repellent is published as provided in rooms. No product is named.

    Source

  • Materials sourced from Bali

    Published by The Bali Sun

    The Bali Sun reported before opening that all building materials and decor were sourced from Bali. A provenance, not a specification.

    Source

  • Aims to avoid plastic

    Confirmed by the property

    The property aims to avoid plastic and asks guests to reuse towels, with no product named, stated by the Gdas director on the visit film, 30 October 2025.

What to ask them
  • What are the mattresses made of, and are they treated with flame retardants?
  • What is the fibre content of the linen, and is it certified, for example to GOTS or OEKO TEX?
  • Which paints, adhesives and sealants were specified, and are they low emission?
  • What cleaning and laundry products are used, and is the list published?
  • Are there named low emission certifications on the flooring or joinery?

Food5 notes

  • 1 named
  • 1 confirmed by the property
  • 3 stated

What a kitchen cooks with and where it buys are the parts of a stay you take inside you. A named oil, a named supplier or a published share is checkable; “healthy” is not.

  • Garden produce, share unstated

    On their website

    The kitchen publishes its own garden as the main source of herbs and vegetables, with imported ingredients alongside. The share of the kitchen's supply it covers is not published.

    Source

  • Vegan and alcohol free

    On their website

    The restaurant and the whole property are published as vegan and alcohol free. A menu exclusion, with no organic share or certification published.

    Source

  • Rare Balinese herbs planted

    On their website

    Rare Balinese herbs are published as planted across the resort and the wellness zone.

  • Which cooking oils are used, and is the policy published?
  • What cookware is used in the kitchen?
  • Is kitchen and ice water filtered, and to what specification?
  • Is there a published position on additives, preservatives or allergens?

Nature7 notes

  • 1 seen in person
  • 1 named
  • 1 confirmed by the property
  • 4 stated

Daylight, planting, outlook and the way a room meets the outside are what make a place feel the way it does. Named design decisions can be checked; atmosphere cannot.

  • Fragrant wood, grey stone

    On their websiteGuest rooms

    Rooms publish a material palette with a stated sensory purpose: fragrant wood panelling on walls and ceiling against cool grey stone floors, with carvings by craftsmen from the village of Mas.

    Source

  • Rice paddy, jungle views

    On their website

    The pool villas are published with near 360 degree views of rice paddies and jungle from the upper floor, and the rooms with paddy or garden terraces.

    Source

  • Semi-open living onto pool

    On their websitePool villas

    The pool villas are published with semi-open living and dining areas onto the pool.

    Source

    Source

  • 10 per cent built

    Published by The Bali Sun

    The Bali Sun reported before opening that only 10 per cent of the 2.5 hectare site is built on, with the design attributed to architect Ida Bagus Oka Genijaya. A press figure for land, recorded and not scored as a measurement.

    Source

  • Rice fields, jungle setting

    Seen in person

    Seen on site during the Human Garage visit filmed 30 October 2025: the property sits with rice fields on one side and jungle on the other.

  • Plunge pools, sauna, steam

    Confirmed by the property

    The wellness facilities include hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, a steam room, a jacuzzi, red light, salt and cryotherapy rooms, and an oxygen room, stated by the Gdas director on the visit film, 30 October 2025.

What to ask them
  • Does every guest room have direct outdoor access or an operable opening?
  • What is the published design intent behind the natural materials used?
  • What are the typical ceiling heights and room volumes?
  • Was the landscape designed with native planting, and is the palette published?

Wireless & wiringNot published

Wiring, routers and devices put electromagnetic fields in a room. What a building decides is where they sit relative to the bed, and whether anyone has measured it.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • Are guest rooms wired for data, or is access wireless only?
  • Where are wireless access points and smart meters placed relative to the bed?
  • Have field levels been measured in sleeping areas, and by whom?
  • Can a guest have wireless disabled in their room on request?
  • Is any shielded cabling or shielding material specified in the build?

QuietNot published

What you can hear at three in the morning decides whether you slept. Insulation, plant and machinery, and what sits next door are what decide it.

We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.

What to ask them
  • What is the measured background noise level in a guest room at night?
  • What acoustic separation is specified between adjoining keys?
  • How loud is the guest room air conditioning at its lowest setting?
  • Is fragrance diffused into guest rooms or public areas, and can it be declined?

Not everything is published, and an empty row is a gap in what we could read rather than a fault in the building. If one of these matters to you, ask the property before you book. Send us something that updates this record
