Yeh Sumbul Beach sits on Bali’s wild west coast, less than ten minutes from Medewi Point, home to one of the longest left-hand waves in Bali.

This is home for brothers Dika and Joel.

Dika spent nearly a decade working in Bali’s surf and hospitality industry, much of it in Canggu. He watched a quiet farming and fishing community become one of Bali’s busiest tourism destinations, and saw what can happen when development moves faster than the community around it.

So in 2012, he came home.

Dika started Dikaloka Surf Camp & Homestay, bringing everything he had learnt back to Yeh Sumbul. A few years later, his brother Joel, better known around here as Mr Good Vibes, followed with his own guesthouse, ding repair service and surf coaching.

In 2021, The Holy Tree Kitchen & Surf Shop opened.

Today, THT Sumbul brings their projects together under one family-led vision:

To help tourism grow in West Bali without allowing it to erase what makes this place worth travelling to in the first place.

They believe Bali should remain a place where Balinese families can own businesses, earn a living, raise their families and have a meaningful say in how their communities develop.

That means creating local jobs. Training the next generation. Supporting locally owned businesses. Keeping tourism money circulating within the community. And building places where visitors can experience this part of Bali while respecting the people, land and culture that were here long before tourism arrived.

The goal is not to stop change.

It is to make sure the people of Yeh Sumbul remain part of deciding what that change looks like.
