Bali Wellness Escape: Yoga, Spa and Culture Retreat in Tabanan

Bali Green Retreat sits in Sesandan, a small village in the Tabanan Regency, away from the main tourist hubs. It's an all-inclusive retreat center where you'll spend three nights in Balinese-style bungalows surrounded by tropical gardens. The team, led by Ketut, has been hosting guests from all over the world and aims to create a family atmosphere.

Each day starts with a 90-minute yoga class led by Tedy, who brings experience from his Ashtanga practice and a background in cycling. The slow flow and meditation are suitable for all levels, and afternoon sessions happen every other day. In between, you'll have plenty of free time to read by the pool, wander the gardens, or just rest in your room.

A standout part of the retreat is the daily one-hour Balinese spa treatment. You can choose between traditional massage, body scrubs, or facials, and treatments are given either in the outdoor spa space or in the indoor treatment room. There's also a real effort to connect you with local culture: activities include a waterfall purification ritual, a tour of the village, trekking through rice paddies, and a Balinese Hindu offering workshop.

The food is another highlight. All meals are prepared fresh by the team, and you can pick between regular (with chicken, fish, or prawn), vegetarian, or detox menus. There are also detox juice options if you'd like to try a juice fast during your stay. The whole experience feels authentic—not polished or resort-like, but grounded in the local village and the people who run it.
