4-Day Restorative Yoga & Beach BBQ Retreat in North Bali

The retreat is based at Santhika Dream Hill Retreat Center, which sits a short walk from a calm beach and uses the nearby Lovina Loca BnB for accommodation. The program mixes daily restorative yoga classes led by experienced teachers with sunset meditation sessions, a 1-hour treatment, and a handful of excursions that show you the less-touristed side of Bali.

Day one eases you in with a cultural Banjar tour that takes in the largest Buddhist temple in Bali for meditation, followed by a soak in sacred hot springs. Later, a group sound healing session uses gongs and singing bowls to wash away travel fatigue. The middle days build on that restful start: a restorative yoga class, then a massage, then a sunset meditation, and a BBQ dinner on the beach under the stars. Day three starts early with a dolphin tour before shifting into a dynamic meditation session and a Balinese dance performance after dinner.

The teachers bring very different backgrounds. Ari, who trained as an emergency nurse before health issues led her to yoga, teaches meditation with a focus on embodiment and present-moment awareness. Guru Made has taught yoga for over 20 years, starting with Sivananda Hatha and now specializing in ancient Balinese healing yoga, sound healing, and aqua healing shiatsu. He leads the retreat's healing work.
