Every Villa Has a Story,Ours Began in Bali

Where Ancient Balinese Wisdom Meets Modern Innovation

Since 2018

Redefining Boutique Villa Management

AURA combines the warmth of traditional Balinese hospitality with cutting-edge AI technology to deliver exceptional experiences for guests and maximized returns for property owners. Our story is one of innovation, respect for culture, and unwavering commitment to excellence.

Our Story

AURA was born from a simple observation: Bali's boutique villa market was missing something essential – the perfect balance between authentic local hospitality and modern technological efficiency.

In 2018, our co-founders Kadek Sutrisna, a Balinese hospitality veteran, and Sarah Chen, a tech innovator from Singapore, joined forces with a vision: to create a property management company that honors Bali's cultural heritage while leveraging cutting-edge AI technology.

Today, AURA manages over 100 boutique villas across Bali's most sought-after locations. Our proprietary AI platform handles everything from dynamic pricing to predictive maintenance, while our local team ensures every guest experiences genuine Balinese warmth and every owner enjoys peace of mind.

We don't just manage properties – we create stories, forge connections, and build a bridge between tradition and innovation.
