Vision of the founder
Prana Veda Sanctuary is the realization of my lifelong dream. “Live your dream” has always been a guiding principle for me – and my vision was to create a place of healing, encounter and community. A place where my love for people and my passion for connection come to life.
Life took me to Bali – to this special place full of tropical beauty on the Indian Ocean. The idea for Prana Veda was born out of meditation, dreams and inspiration. Together with the creative hands and hearts of the Balinese, this place was built: as a sanctuary, guest house, retreat and community space.
In 2010, Prana Veda Sanctuary opened its doors as a space for people from East and West to come together to learn, grow, heal and simply be at peace.
"A place where time stands still
Heaven and earth meet
and you feel a little closer to heaven."
Renate – the heart of Prana Veda
About the founder
Renate, the founder of the Prana Veda Sanctuary, is a German, English and French-speaking host and therapist who first came to Bali over 45 years ago – and immediately fell in love with the magic of this island.
She began her professional journey as a physiotherapist in Switzerland and later volunteered for the Red Cross in Singapore, working in a home for children with disabilities. Back in Germany, she ran her own practice for over 20 years while her son Marc grew up and enriched her life.
Over time, Renate deepened her path to holistic healing: further psychotherapeutic training, nine years of six-month study visits to India, where she learned Ayurveda, yoga and meditation, as well as workshops and seminars in many countries around the world.
Her intention is still the same today: To create a special place that inspires and empowers people and gives them the tools to activate their own self-healing powers – to find their wholeness and inner balance again.

Our Balinese team
Our Balinese team consists of eleven wonderful people who look after our guests with dedication, warmth and an open smile. Most of them are from our village and many have been with Prana Veda since the very beginning – they are the heart of our hotel.
The family atmosphere that this creates is particularly appreciated by all guests. The staff know the guests by name and it is noticeable how much the people from so many different countries grow on them. Their wonderful, open smiles while they work are always touching. We are very grateful for each and every one of our employees who help shape the image of Prana Veda with their Balinese kindness. This often results in encounters that are remembered far beyond the stay.
We are sincerely grateful for each and every member of our team. With their Balinese warmth and kindness, they contribute significantly to making Prana Veda not just a place of rest – but a home by the ocean.

Your place of power in Bali
Meaning of Prana Veda
Prana Veda means “the science and wisdom of life energies” in Sanskrit; a place of power that invites anyone who is an explorer and a stalker to study life energies with us. Prana Veda is a dream of paradise with a shared spirit to create a safe haven to birth a “New World” and sow seeds to awaken from our conditioning – simply live love.
