5-Day Boutique Wellness and Yoga Retreat in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

The retreat runs over five days at a boutique property on the edge of Ubud, surrounded by rice paddies and jungle. The group is deliberately small so classes stay personal. Yoga happens twice most days: an energising morning session and a slower evening session, both in the property's open-air shala.

Days are structured loosely. Morning yoga is followed by breakfast, then either a free morning or an organised activity — a guided rice terrace walk, a temple visit, or a market tour with a local guide. Afternoons are left open: guests use the pool, book a massage at the on-site spa, or take the short transfer into central Ubud to see the palace, the art market, and the monkey forest.

On the third day there's a Balinese cooking class where the group cooks and eats lunch together, using ingredients from the local market. There is also a sound healing session with singing bowls held in the shala one evening, and a closing circle on the final morning before check-out.

Compared with the bigger yoga retreats in Ubud, this one is smaller and less programmed. It's a property with a handful of rooms rather than a dedicated retreat centre running back-to-back weeks, so the atmosphere is quieter and there's no set menu of add-on workshops. Guests who want more can add private yoga sessions or extra spa treatments directly at the property.

The retreat is based in Ubud on Bali, Indonesia — about an hour's drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, transfers available for a supplement.
