Uluwatu - Nusa Dua · Indonesia

More than just a bed.

We started Oasis because we couldn't find the hostel we actually wanted. So we built it.

Our Story

Why we started Southern Oasis.

In 2019, two burnt-out travellers — Mia from Sweden and Rafi, a Balinese surfer from Canggu — had the same conversation that travellers always have: "why can't a hostel be like this?"

They meant a place where you actually talked to people. Where the garden wasn't an afterthought. Where the staff remembered your name. Where something interesting was always about to happen.

They found a crumbling villa on a quiet lane in Canggu, spent six months fixing it up with friends, and opened the doors in January 2020 with 14 beds and a very optimistic pool.

A pandemic, a renovation, and 600+ guests later — the idea holds. Southern Oasis is exactly the hostel we wished existed.

What We Believe

The values we live by.

  • Community First

    We believe travel is better with people. Every decision we make is about creating genuine connections between guests — and between guests and Bali.

  • Honest & Authentic

    No hidden fees. No upselling. Just real advice from people who actually know Bali and want you to have the best time possible.

  • Sustainable Travel

    We use solar energy, compost our kitchen waste, and partner exclusively with local guides and businesses. Good for Bali, good for everyone.

  • Welcome Everybody

    Solo travellers, couples, groups, digital nomads — all ages 18 and up. If you're open to the world, you'll feel at home here.
