8 Day Wellness and Yoga Escape in Lovina Beach, Bali

Puri Bagus Lovina sits right on the quiet black-sand beach of Lovina, Bali's laid-back northern coast. The resort is built in traditional Balinese style, with thatched roofs, open-air corridors, and manicured gardens that give it a sense of privacy and calm. Unlike the busy south, this area feels peaceful, and the retreat takes advantage of that with a schedule that balances yoga, spa time, and freedom.

Each day includes two 60-minute yoga sessions at the resort's yoga shala. The teacher, Kadek, has a 200-hour certification and teaches Hatha with a touch of Vinyasa. She's known for her gentle, personalized approach, and many of her students are new to yoga. She often includes partner yoga, and her classes are tailored to all levels, so you never feel out of your depth. If you'd rather skip a session, that's fine—everything is optional.

The retreat also includes three spa treatments: a traditional Balinese massage on day two, a 150-minute 'Lovina Heaven' treatment on day five, and a 90-minute after-sun body and hair care treatment on day seven. These are the kind of treatments that get described as 'out of this world' in reviews. You also get a complimentary cultural activity, like making offerings and visiting a temple, or playing the Rindik, a bamboo instrument, with local musicians.

Food is a highlight here. Breakfast and dinner are included, served at the Saraswati Restaurant, and both feature fresh, locally sourced ingredients. There's a healthy juice each morning, and dinner is a set menu with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. You can also order raw cuisine. It's simple, healthy food that fits the retreat vibe.

The resort has 25-square-meter rooms, each with a wide verandah and balcony chairs. The Superior Garden View rooms look out over the tropical gardens, while the Deluxe Ocean View rooms face the sea directly, with coconut palms swaying outside. Families can book connecting rooms, and the property also has a pool, spa, and direct beach access.
