Meditation & Mind Mastery Retreat on Bali's North Coast

Villa Boreh Retreat Center sits on Bali's north coast, a quieter and less developed part of the island than the southern beach towns. The programme has run here every year since 2014, which means the facilitators know the venue, the local area and the rhythm of a week well. You'll spend seven days on site, with meditation and yoga most mornings and coaching sessions woven through the afternoons.

The coaching side is led by Peter Radcliffe, who teaches meditation and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming). His background as a Buddhist monk shapes how the sessions are run — less theory, more direct practice and honest conversation about what's going on in your head. Participants typically range from complete beginners at meditation to people who've practised for years, and the small group size (6–12) means the teaching adjusts to whoever is in the room.

The week balances structured inner work with genuine downtime. Mornings are for practice, afternoons for reflection, coaching and time by the water, and early-bird bookings include unlimited spa treatments throughout the stay. The retreat has been running long enough that the schedule has been refined over many groups — it's not a first-time experiment.

What makes this one different from a standard wellness week is the emphasis on mind mastery rather than just relaxation. The aim is for participants to leave with practical techniques for mental clarity they can keep using at home, not just seven days of feeling good. It suits anyone ready to engage with the process rather than passively receive it.

The venue itself, Villa Boreh, is a dedicated retreat centre on the north coast, away from the crowds of Seminyak and Canggu. The north shore is regarded locally as spiritually significant, and the atmosphere is calm, green and coastal. It's a setting that supports the kind of focused work the retreat asks of you.
