7-Day Cliffside Wellness Reset with Yoga, Surf & Balinese Ceremony in Uluwatu

The retreat is set on the cliffs of Uluwatu, a location that does a lot of the heavy lifting. From the yoga shala and the infinity pool, you look straight out over the ocean, and the sound of waves is constant. The accommodation is split between private ocean-view bungalows, a double jungle bungalow, and a shared twin surf shack, so you can choose your level of solitude. Each space is built with natural materials and designed to feel calm and grounded, with outdoor showers and private decks in most rooms.

The daily schedule usually starts with tea and lemon water, followed by a yoga class that changes each day—nervous system reset, sunrise vinyasa, chakra journey, dynamic flow, balance focus, restorative. After breakfast, there's often a workshop or an excursion. One day you'll head to Padang Padang beach for a surf lesson with professional instructors, another day you'll visit the Uluwatu Temple for the Kecak fire dance, and there's a full afternoon set aside for spa treatments and a traditional Balinese blessing. Evenings wind down with dinner and often a yin yoga session or a cacao ceremony with ecstatic dance on the last night.

David, your host and lead teacher, has spent the last seven years teaching yoga and running transformational retreats in over 20 countries. He focuses on nervous system regulation and subconscious reprogramming, using NLP meditation throughout the week. Kyrie, a JourneyDance™ facilitator and sound healer, is also part of the team, bringing voice and movement workshops to the group. The structure is flexible—you're never forced into an activity—but the rhythm of the week is designed to move you from a state of stress toward a more settled, clearer baseline.

The food is a real highlight. A local chef prepares three meals a day using seasonal, organic ingredients—think Balinese, Asian, and international dishes that are nourishing without being heavy. Most dietary needs are covered, from vegan and vegetarian to gluten-free and nut-allergy-friendly. Meals are served buffet-style in a communal setting, which becomes a natural part of the day to connect with others on the retreat.
