Kappa Senses Ubud Celebrates Fourth Anniversary With Commitment to Plant 4,000 Trees Across Bali

Mangrove planting initiative at Wana Segara Kertih brings together government, community and industry partners in support of Bali’s coastal environment

Kappa Senses Ubud marked its fourth anniversary with a mangrove planting initiative at Wana Segara Kertih in Kedonganan on September 12, 2026, placing environmental action at the center of the milestone. The initiative is part of the resort’s wider commitment to plant 4,000 trees across Bali throughout 2026, extending the anniversary beyond a celebration and into a long-term contribution to the island.

The planting brought together the Kappa Senses Ubud team with government representatives, local community members, travel and banking partners, educational institutions, foundations and other supporting organizations. Beyond the day’s activity, the collaboration reflected the role that hospitality businesses can play in connecting private-sector resources with community-based environmental efforts.

Mangrove ecosystems are an essential part of Bali’s coastal environment, supporting marine and terrestrial habitats while helping protect shorelines from erosion and strengthening the resilience of coastal areas. Through its 4,000-tree commitment, Kappa Senses Ubud aims to contribute to these efforts while encouraging greater awareness of environmental stewardship.

“Four years of meaningful moments. 4,000 trees for a greener future. One shared hope for tomorrow.”

Among those attending were Santi Triana, General Manager of Kappa Senses Ubud; I Putu Agus Juliartawan, Head of UPTD TAHURA Ngurah Rai, or a representative; I Nyoman Sunarta, Head of the Wana Segara Kertih Fishermen’s Group; and I Gusti Ayu Laxmy Saraswaty, S.S., M.Hum., Head of the Denpasar City Social Service. Representatives from BTN KC Denpasar and Bank Mandiri Benoa also joined the initiative alongside travel, education and CSR partners.

For Kappa Senses Ubud, the anniversary has become an opportunity to connect each year’s milestone with a wider contribution to the destination. “Over the past four years, our journey has not only been measured by what we have achieved, but also by what we can give back,” said Santi Triana. “That is why, each year, we strive to make Kappa Senses Ubud’s anniversary more than just a celebration — it is also a meaningful opportunity to give back to the community through our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives.”

I Nyoman Sunarta highlighted the scale of the resort’s contribution to Wana Segara Kertih, noting that the 4,000 trees represent one of the largest tree-planting contributions made to the area to date. The initiative was supported by 139 volunteers, reinforcing the collaborative approach behind the project and the shared responsibility involved in protecting Bali’s natural environment.

The resort’s approach to corporate social responsibility combines environmental action with community participation and cross-sector collaboration. For Kappa Senses Ubud, the fourth anniversary therefore became both a reflection on its journey since opening and a way to reaffirm its commitment to more responsible hospitality.

“Kappa Senses Ubud is grateful to all partners, communities and individuals who contributed their time and support to this initiative,” Triana said. “Protecting Bali’s environment is a shared responsibility, and meaningful progress is possible when we work together toward a common purpose.”

The mangrove planting concluded with participants contributing directly to coastal restoration at Wana Segara Kertih. As Kappa Senses Ubud enters its fifth year, the resort continues to focus on building meaningful connections with its community, supporting environmental initiatives and pursuing more responsible approaches to hospitality.
