ABOUT DHARMA RESORT
A private luxury resort on Muhu Island, Estonia, created and personally hosted by Raymond and Sven.
Dharma Resort is a private luxury stay on Muhu Island, Estonia, created and personally hosted by Raymond and Sven. The first idea began in Bali in 2019 and later found its home on Muhu Island.
Dharma was created for people who feel the need to step back.
Not into another busy holiday.
Not into a place with a timetable.
Not into a version of rest that still asks something from you.
From the beginning, Dharma was shaped with simplicity, restraint, and respect for the land. Nothing was added only to impress. Every detail was chosen to support privacy, ease, and quiet comfort.
The two houses are set apart in nature, allowing each stay to unfold privately and without a fixed schedule.
The name Dharma reflects a simple intention: to act with awareness, to care with respect, and to offer only what is needed.
The people behind Dharma
RAYMOND & SVEN
Raymond and Sven come from very different worlds, and that became an important part of Dharma.
Raymond grew up in Indonesia and spent more than fifteen years in hospitality and tourism in Bali-Indonesia and in Estonia. For him, hospitality has always been deeply personal — welcoming people warmly, sharing food, noticing the small things, and creating an atmosphere where someone can simply feel at ease.
Sven brings more than 30 years of entrepreneurial experience across the Baltic region. He is the long-term visionary behind Dharma — someone who naturally looks beyond the idea itself and asks how it can become real, sustainable, and meaningful over time.
Together, those two perspectives shaped Dharma: Raymond’s instinct for hospitality and human connection, and Sven’s ability to see the bigger picture and give an idea the structure to grow.
The first thought of Dharma began in Bali in 2019, but it eventually found its home on Muhu Island.
In many ways, Dharma became a meeting of two worlds — the warmth of the East and the calm of the North.
A NOTE FROM RAYMOND
I personally host each stay at Dharma.
I have worked in hospitality for more than 15 years, first in Indonesia and later in Estonia. Over time, I learned that true care does not always need to be visible.
It can be quiet.
It is preparing the house before you arrive. Making sure the food is ready. Lighting the sauna. Noticing what may help, without asking too much. Staying close enough to support you, but far enough to let you rest.
This is how I host Dharma.
You do not need to be social here. You do not need to explain why you came. You do not need to follow a programme or become anything in particular.
You can simply arrive as you are.
If you feel you need space,
Dharma is here to receive you quietly.
