10-Day Yoga and Spa Wellness Escape in North Bali

Puri Bagus Lovina sits on Lovina's grey volcanic sand beach, about ten minutes from the old colonial town of Singaraja and an hour from the Munduk waterfalls. The resort is built as a collection of traditional Balinese thatched-roof pavilions spread through tropical gardens, with open-air bathrooms and verandahs. It's a calm, four-star property that feels a long way from the bustle of southern Bali.

Your days follow an easy rhythm. At 7am there's a 60-minute yoga class in the ocean-facing shala, then a big American-style breakfast. Mornings are free for the pool, the beach, or one of the organised excursions—a sunrise dolphin cruise, snorkelling off Lovina, or a trek to the Sekumpul waterfalls. After lunch there's often another activity: a cooking class, a visit to a coffee plantation, or a trip to the Sudhamala holy spring for a water blessing. A second yoga class runs at 5pm, and dinner is your choice of the restaurant, the poolside grill, or room service.

The teaching is led by Kadek, a Balinese 200-hour certified yoga teacher who specialises in Hatha with a Vinyasa touch. She trained after years as a spa therapist and is known for her warm, patient style—many of her guests are trying yoga for the first time. She also enjoys partner yoga, and her gentle humour makes the classes feel welcoming rather than intimidating.

The retreat includes a 30-minute traditional welcome massage, a warm stone massage at the Jaya Spa, a facial cleansing treatment, and a Balinese cooking class. You'll also make canang offerings, visit the Ananda Seva Dharma meditation centre, and see the sights of Singaraja, including a lontar manuscript library and an old palace. It's a well-rounded mix of rest, culture, and gentle movement in one of Bali's calmest corners.
