What Is Nuanu Creative City?

At its core, Nuanu Creative City is an innovative and ambitious project designed to be a "future city" where art, technology, and nature coexist in harmony. 

The name “Nuanu” comes from the Balinese phrase "Nu-anu," which means "in process," reflecting its ever-evolving nature. 

Founded by Russian tech entrepreneur Sergey Solonin, this project is a massive $100 million investment built on the foundation of the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana—the harmonious relationship between humans, nature, and the spiritual realm.

The city's key principles are centered on sustainability, community, and education. Only 30% of the land is used for construction, with the remaining 70% kept green and pristine. 

They’ve already planted over 15,000 trees and aim to recycle 70% of all waste. This commitment to being an eco-city in Bali is visible everywhere you look.

Beyond its environmental efforts, Nuanu Creative City is also a place for community building. 

The project actively involves local artisans from the Beraban village and has a strong commitment to employing local Balinese people, with 90% of the staff being Indonesian and 50% of management positions held by locals. 

Education is also a big part of their mission, with initiatives like the free Kids Academy that preserves traditional Balinese crafts.
