About Us
At Penida Villa Pesona, we strive to elevate guest experiences by combining comfort, elegance, and the breathtaking beauty of Nusa Penida, ensuring every stay is truly memorable.
Our story
Penida Villa Persona began with a simple mission: to provide Purple Dive Penida guests and the wider traveler community with an accommodation style that truly reflects the island's values.
The project was dreamed up by a group of friends and passionate divers who fell in love with Nusa Penida’s rugged beauty and stayed to build a community.
Deeply involved in the local neighborhood, the team is dedicated to offering a laid-back, authentic experience for anyone looking to discover the magic of the island. It’s a place built by travelers, for travelers, rooted in a love for the ocean and the people who call Penida home.

Mini | Manager & Local Expert
Hailing from our next door village of Sental Kangin, Ibu Mini is the heart of daily operations as the Manager and Head of Housekeeping. Beyond her 15 years in hospitality, she is a respected pillar of her own community, dedicated to supporting her local village organization with her sharp accounting and organizational skills. At the villas, her sunny and reliable personality makes her the ultimate go-to for guests. With an encyclopedic knowledge of Nusa Penida and a connection to almost everyone on the island, she is the perfect person to assist with any request—from arranging transport and island exploration to booking a relaxing massage or recommending the best local restaurants.
Ketut ('Tut') | Landscape & Grounds
Affectionately known as 'Tut,' Pak Ketut comes from the hillside village of Batu Madeg, near the Tembeling pools and forest—an area he knows like the back of his hand. Tut holds a special place in the family as the very first employee of our sister business Purple Dive Penida. After five years as a boat hand and snorkeling guide, he discovered a passion for the island’s flora. Today, he channels that green thumb into meticulously caring for the gardens at both the dive center and the villas.
Rahmat | Engineering & Security
Originally from Java, Pak Rahmat is the architectural soul of the property. Having been part of the original team that built the villas from the ground up, his engineering mind and intuitive problem-solving skills made him an indispensable part of the family. Now a permanent member of the team, he remains on-site through the night to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests, standing by as the point of contact for any maintenance or emergency needs. To say he knows his way around the villas is an understatement—he quite literally built them.
