Lumina Bali answers this record at reply@verifiedwellnessspaces.com. Anyone else can correct it at corrections@verifiedwellnessspaces.com.
Fifteen cottages, suites and villas on a river terrace ten minutes from Ubud, beside a tenth-century water temple. The cottages are century-old Javanese houses, Gladaks and Joglos of antique teak and ironwood, bought in Central Java, carried to Bali and rebuilt by hand above the Wos River. The suites and villas are newer: French plaster, honed marble, private salt-water pools. Lumina calls itself a sanctuary for highly sensitive people, and what it publishes reads like a list written for one. No pyrethrin fogging. Air purifiers and dehumidifiers. Latex beds. Its own spring. This record says what each line on that list is worth as evidence, and where a number would change it.
Read the rest of the description
Water
The property has its own artesian spring and publishes it as the source of everything: the water in the rooms, the kitchen, the pools. A named source is what lifts the water row to Specified. The property calls the spring purity-tested and publishes no test. A panel with detection limits would take this row to Measured, and it is the easiest thing on this record to add. The pools are described as chlorine-free saltwater fed by the spring. A salt system makes its own chlorine, so read that as the property's description rather than a residual figure.
Air
Every room has air conditioning, and the property tells you not to use it. Its advice is to sleep with the doors and windows open for the breeze off the river, and the cottages were built for that: verandas on all sides, roll-up rain curtains, skylights. Air purifiers and dehumidifiers are listed with no grade or brand. Mosquito control is habitat removal rather than fogging, which matters because fogging is the default on this island. The other side of the same ledger is that incense burns every morning at the shrines and doorsteps as part of the offerings. That is outdoor air and it is a living tradition, and it is recorded here because a sensitive guest would want to know.
Materials
Beds are 100 per cent latex under cotton linen, published for every room. The cottages are teak and ironwood, the floors reclaimed hardwood or acid-washed Java marble, the suite walls French plaster. Cleaning is described as organic and non-toxic, the toiletries as eco-conscious, with coconut oil as the moisturiser. Nothing carries a brand or an emission class, so the row sits at Specified on the timber and the mattress, and the rest is the property's word.
Food
The kitchen is plant-based by its own description, organic, and free from industrial seed oils and ultra-processed ingredients. A permaculture garden on the property supplies produce, herbs and spices, and the terraces below the suites grow organic heritage red rice. The share of the menu that comes off the land is not published, which is what separates this row from Measured. Everything cooked and poured uses the spring.
Light, sound, and the wireless question
Rooms face east, most have skylights, and the property hands out padded eye masks because of them, which is more candid than most. There is no lighting specification. Sound is what the site is built around: quiet fans, air conditioning described as silent, a shala kept as a silent zone outside classes, and the river under all of it. No level has been measured. High-speed Wi-Fi reaches every room with generator backup, and nothing is published about placement, a night cut-off or the sleeping zone. That row scores nothing, deliberately. Reaching every room is coverage, not management.
The site
A far-infrared sauna, a riverside spring water soak pool used as contrast therapy, chlorine-free saltwater pools, an open-sided yoga shala under a timber vault, and a spa at the river's edge. Adults only. Certified Spaces has assessed this property in person; the date and scope of that visit are still to be recorded here, so for now the rows above are the property's own published account.

Lumina Bali at a glance
Lumina Bali is a villa resort in Jukut Paku, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia. We read what it publishes about the eight things a building does to your biology and scored the evidence 11 of 24. We assessed it on site; that is a disclosed commercial relationship and it never changes the evidence score. Last verified 2026-09-06. Water Integrity is its best-documented pathway; nothing is published on EMF Harmony.
The marker sheet
Eight building-biology pathways, each graded by the strength of its evidence. How grading works
- 0Nothing publishedNot publishedWe looked. They have published nothing about this.
- 1Their word for itClaimedThey say so, and name nothing behind it.
- 2Named and specificSpecifiedThey name the actual system, product, supplier or standard.
- 3Tested or verifiedMeasuredA published test result, a laboratory report, or an independent check: a certification body, or our own assessor on site.
Each of the 8 pathways scores 0 to 3, so 24 is the most any property can reach. Out of 24, because 8 of 8 pathways have been assessed. Unassessed pathways leave the denominator rather than counting as zero.
Air Ecology at Lumina Bali: Claimed, 1 of 3Their word for it4 sourcesFiltration, ventilation and what the air is measured at.1/3
Out-documents 44% of the index on this pathway.
What is published, and where it came from
- Claimed
The property publishes air purifiers and dehumidifiers among its provisions. No grade, brand, placement or humidity target is published.
Using organic, non-toxic cleaning products, air purifiers, dehumidifiers, organic cuisine, and artesian spring water, we strive to provide a bio-compatible haven supporting a true cellular re-set and restoration.
- Claimed
Every room is published with air conditioning, and the property recommends sleeping with doors and windows open instead. No ventilation rate or filter grade is published.
A/C (but we recommend leaving doors and windows open for fresh breezes, soothing river sounds, and a healthful sleep experience)
- Claimed
Mosquito control is published as habitat removal rather than pyrethrin fogging. A stated practice, with no verification behind it.
Our natural mosquito-abatement methods focus on eliminating habitat, rather than using the common practice of fogging with pyrethrin, which kills natural predators of mosquitoes like frogs, dragonflies, and damselflies, and is toxic to humans as well.
- Claimed
Incense is published as burned every morning at shrines, doorsteps and terraces across the grounds as part of the daily offerings. Recorded as something added to the outdoor air, and not credited.
With deliberate care, our Balinese staff place fresh Canang Sari—intricate, hand-woven palm-leaf trays—upon our stone shrines, threshold steps, and riverside terraces. Each basket is layered with purpose: vibrant marigolds, fragrant frangipani, and a single burning stick of incense.
What is not published

- Specified
The pools are published as chlorine-free saltwater systems supplied by the same spring. A salt system generates its own chlorine, so this is the property's description rather than a residual figure, and no pool panel is published.

What is not published
Certified Spaces has assessed this property on site and it holds founding certification as part of the filmed cohort. The date and scope of that site assessment are not on file with this record, so no site-assessment evidence appears here yet, and every row below is what the property publishes. Nothing is published with a reading on any pathway. No drinking water or pool panel is published for a spring the property calls purity-tested. No filter grade, ventilation rate or air measurement is published, and the air purifiers and dehumidifiers are listed without a brand. No lighting specification, colour temperature, flicker or blackout provision is published; the property says many rooms have skylights and provides eye masks. High-speed Wi-Fi is published in every room with generator backup and nothing is published about its management, placement or a night cut-off, so the electromagnetic row scores nothing: reaching every room is coverage, not management. No mattress or linen brand, textile certification, paint product or cleaning product is named. No organic share, cooking oil, cookware or grower is named beyond the property's own garden. No background noise level, acoustic separation or plant noise figure is published. The key count is 15 on the property's own site and 16 in a third-party listing.
Regional context
Public data about the surrounding area. None of it contributes to the score, because a property cannot be marked down for the conditions outside it.
- Safely managed drinking water, Indonesia: The World Health Organization reports 30 per cent of the population nationally, 35 per cent in urban areas, 24 per cent in rural areas using a safely managed drinking water service. This describes the country, not this property, and says nothing about what reaches a guest room here. It is recorded because it is the background against which a property's own treatment is worth publishing. Source
- Ambient PM2.5 and PM10 near Jukut Paku, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia: Modelled ambient air over this location averaged 20.2 micrograms per cubic metre of PM2.5 and 23.0 of PM10 across the 720 hours to 2026-09-05, peaking at 72.4 PM2.5. The World Health Organization annual guideline for PM2.5 is 5. This is the outdoor air over the area, modelled rather than measured on site, and it is not a reading of the air inside any room. Source

Not published is not unsafehow to read these scores, and what this index does not promise
A low score means a property has not published information. It does not mean the property is unsafe, unhealthy or poorly run.
These scores measure disclosure. These scores describe disclosure, not property quality. This index has no commercial relationship with the properties listed unless a badge on the listing says otherwise.
Conditions change, and we will not always know. Every record is a snapshot of what a property had published when we read it, and that date is on the page. Conditions change: a property can refit, change suppliers or replace a system at any time, and nothing requires it to tell us. We re-read records and ask properties directly for updates, but there will always be a gap between what is true today and what was published when we looked. Use this as a frame of reference for what to ask, not as a substitute for asking. Take your own questions to the property before you book, and tell us if you find something we have wrong.
We report what properties publish. We do not inspect, certify or vouch for any property on this index unless a listing says we assessed it on site, and we accept no responsibility for decisions made or outcomes experienced on the basis of what you read here.
Right of reply. Anyone can correct this record at corrections@verifiedwellnessspaces.com. The property scored here answers at reply@verifiedwellnessspaces.com. Every change is logged on the changelog with the date and the reason, including when the change is ours.
Questions travelers askwater, air, EMF, and whether it is worth it
Questions travelers ask about Lumina Bali
Does Lumina Bali publish water quality testing?
Yes, and they name what they use: an actual system, supplier or standard is on the record, though no test result is published. Scored 2 of 3.
What is the air quality like in the rooms?
We can only report what is published about the rooms themselves. Only their word for it. They say so and name nothing behind it, so it scores 1 of 3.
Is Lumina Bali low-EMF?
No measurement is published. Only 16 of the 112 properties we have researched publish any bedroom EMF information at all, so this is the industry norm, not an outlier.
Is Lumina Bali worth it?
We score evidence, not experience. On evidence, it ranks 31 of 112 researched records. The strongest documented pathways are Water Integrity and Materials and Textiles; nothing is published on EMF Harmony.
