Steve Levine may really be the most interesting man in the
world. From a young age growing up on the Westside of Los Angeles
he had a zest for adventure and was particularly lit up by his
passion for surfing. This first led him to attend college in Santa
Cruz where he charged infamous surf breaks like Mavericks with
menacing waves in frigid waters littered with great white
sharks.
Coming from a prominent real estate family, Steve was expected to
go to law school after college and was on a trajectory for a
lucrative career as a power broker in Los Angeles. A surf trip to
Bali in the early 1990s changed his plans. After becoming close
friends (and eventually business partners) with a local gentleman
from Uluwatu Steve decided to take the road less travelled. He
followed his bliss and gave up everything and everyone he knew in
Los Angeles to build a new life in Bali. After immersing himself in
the local culture for many years and learning the language Steve
became a well known local figure in Uluwatu and forged strong
relationships throughout Indonesia. Luck , timing and tight
relationships put him in a once in a lifetime position to acquire a
significant ocean front parcel overlooking the infamous Uluwatu
surf break from a local family. This moment set Steve on a path he
still follows today.
Over the years, with his local partner, developed a luxury boutique
hotel in front of the famous surf break and a second surf camp on a
remote island with 30 inhabitants. This is a unique story about
following your bliss, turning your passion into your life’s work
and seizing the opportunity when it arrives.
