28-Day Balinese Yoga, Spa & Culinary Wellness Immersion

This 28-day retreat is run by a local team led by your host Ketut, who has built Bali Green Retreat as a fully equipped wellness center and healing sanctuary, not just a place to sleep. Every day, an experienced instructor leads a 90-minute morning Vinyasa or Hatha yoga class with meditation, and every other day there's another 90-minute afternoon session. Between classes, you're invited to join Balinese cultural activities like authentic cooking classes, waterfall purification ceremonies, guided village tours, beach trips, rice paddy trekking, a natural coconut oil-making workshop, Balinese Hindu offering making, a pastry class, and a traditional dance performance. The schedule is flexible—none of the activities are compulsory, so if you want to skip an excursion and just read in the garden, nobody will mind.

The food is a real highlight. Meals are prepared fresh by the team, and every day you choose between a regular menu based on chicken, fish, and prawn; a vegetarian menu; or a detox menu designed to help your body and mind heal. Twice a day you get complimentary all-natural tropical juices, and there's an option to join a juice detox or fasting program for free, which some guests do for a few days to kickstart the cleanse. The all-inclusive package covers three meals a day, unlimited mineral water, tea, and coffee, and a complimentary 1-hour spa treatment every other day.

The property itself is set in a small hill village, surrounded by tropical gardens, far from the busy tourist areas of Bali. Accommodation is in Balinese-style guesthouse bungalows, each with air-conditioning, a TV, desk, shower, and wardrobe, and all are certified under the CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environment) standard—particularly relevant if you're thinking about post-pandemic travel. There's a pool, a library, a restaurant, a yoga shala, and both indoor and outdoor spa spaces where you can book extra Balinese massages, body scrubs, and facials.

The retreat attracts a mix of guests, many traveling solo. As one reviewer put it, "It was nice to know I could be alone or join other people who were also traveling solo for dinner, yoga, or adventures." The staff are often described as family-like and go out of their way to make sure everyone feels looked after. If you're feeling mentally and physically exhausted, this is a gentle, structured way to press pause—with enough culture and activity to keep it interesting, and enough open time to actually rest.
