About

Slow moments, embraced by the forest

Welcome to Shui Mu Living in Balik Pulau, Penang—a forest retreat where you can leave the bustle of the city behind and reconnect with nature.

Singing-bowl experiences are at the heart of our forest stays. Accommodation, Hakka meals, guided walks, valley gong sessions and morning meditation make lasting memories. Ask separately about hilltop sunset and sunrise activities.

There is nothing you need to strive for. Eat well, rest well, and enjoy the present moment—that alone makes a worthwhile journey.

What to do

What can you do at Shui Mu Living?

A different pace

More than a guesthouse: a place to slow down.

City life keeps us busy with work, family, responsibilities and the small demands of every day.

Shui Mu Living offers a different kind of space, away from the bustle of the city—a chance to step into nature, slow down and enjoy a simpler way of living.

Leave your schedule open: walk in the forest, drink tea, admire the hills and listen to birdsong. Or join gong and singing bowl sound sessions, meditation, or a special forest gathering with friends.

Rest need not take you far from home, and finding balance need not be complicated. Sometimes, a change of surroundings and a pause from familiar routines are enough to make a difference.

At Shui Mu Living, you are welcome to enjoy the forest in your own way.
