7-Day Organic Juice Detox & Daily Spa Retreat in Bali's Eco Bamboo Resort

Sun Sang Eco Retreats sits on the banks of a river in Tabanan, West Bali, surrounded by rice paddies and rainforest. The property is a pioneer in eco-tourism, built entirely from bamboo using designs inspired by animal shapes and the concept of 'biomimicry.' The founder started the project in 2017 after Mount Agung's eruption displaced many locals—part of the mission is training those locals in bamboo construction, and every piece of furniture in your room is handcrafted by these now-expert craftsmen. This isn't a polished resort; it's a living, breathing eco-community where you sleep in open-sided bamboo structures and wake to the sound of the river.

A typical day starts with an 8 AM yoga and meditation session, led by teachers like Putu Ayu, who blends Balinese traditions with Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin styles, or Krishna, who specializes in Watukaru Yoga and pranayama. After a detox breakfast (or juices, depending on your program), you have most of the morning free—many guests use this time for a silent digital detox, reading on their balcony or wandering the gardens. At 3 PM, you get a 60-minute Balinese healing massage, a daily ritual that helps with lymphatic drainage and deep relaxation. Late afternoons are for cultural immersion: authentic cooking classes, Balinese language lessons, making Canang Sari offering baskets, painting, or joining a 'Trash Hero' river cleanup. On day 4, there's a special massage with a body scrub.

The juice detox itself is highly customizable. On arrival, you discuss your goals and experience with the team and pick a method: the 20:4 intermittent fasting approach with vegan meals in a 4-hour window, a full juice detox with juices three times a day, or a mix of juice and water fasting for those who've done it before. They also serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner detox routines, which might be fresh juices, smoothie bowls, raw snacks, or light vegetarian meals—all sourced locally and prepared with care. The food is simple, organic, and designed to clean you out while keeping your energy up for the light yoga and excursions.

What makes this retreat special is its authenticity and lack of pretense. There are no AC units (they believe it hinders detox), and you might spot a gecko on the ceiling—that's part of the charm. The staff are incredibly warm and accommodating, often described by guests as treating you like family. Your host, Sun Sang (known as Master on the platform), ensures everything runs smoothly. It's a place where you genuinely step away from the commercial side of Bali, live simply in nature, and focus on healing. The retreat also provides access to one of the oldest spiritual ashrams in the world, where you can learn traditional Balinese practices from the masters themselves.
