Indonesia · 8 days · From USD 780
The property itself is spread over three levels, each with its own character. The upper level holds four single rooms, the middle has the common area, pool, and three rooms, and down by the river you’ll find a beautiful wooden yoga shala, the spa, and a traditional Indonesian joglo with two rooms nestled in a stunning garden. Everywhere you look there are peaceful spots—a hammock, a lounge chair by the pool, or a quiet corner to sip fresh juice while the resident dogs wander by.
Yoga at Pelan Pelan is taught by a local Balinese couple, Puspa and Sida, who embody the tradition naturally. Puspa specialises in Yin yoga, offering deeply restorative, slow sessions, while Sida guides dynamic Vinyasa and Hatha classes focused on asanas. Born into the practice, they bring authenticity and cultural insight that’s hard to find elsewhere. The schedule mixes these styles throughout the week—there’s no fixed single style, but rather a combination of Vinyasa flow, Hatha, Yin, or whatever suits the day.
The food is another big draw. Kis, the Indonesian chef, heads to the market early each morning to source fresh vegetables, free-range meat, and eggs, then cooks traditional dishes full of Indonesian herbs and flavours. Breakfast offers four options daily, including fruit juice and coffee or tea, and is always included in the room price. Lunches are served on weekdays, featuring whatever Kis has created that day.
Beyond the daily rhythm, there’s a real sense of community at Pelan Pelan. Many guests come solo—the reviews are full of first-time solo travellers praising the warm, open vibe. The shared living areas and pool make it easy to meet people from all over the world, and the staff’s friendliness is consistently mentioned as a highlight. It’s a place where you can be social if you want, or simply retreat into yourself.
