Ayurvedic Wellness and Yoga Retreat in Bali's Rice Fields

The Yoga and Ayurveda Wellness Retreat is a week-long experience designed around the principles of Ayurveda, with yoga as a complementary practice. Housed in an eco-friendly boutique resort, guests stay in private villas scattered across a lush garden, each featuring sustainable luxury touches like open-air bathrooms and lyocell bed linens. The retreat begins with an Ayurvedic consultation to understand your dosha and create a personalized schedule, which may include yoga, meditation, spa treatments, and cultural activities.

Daily life at the resort balances structured activities with freedom. Mornings often start with a yoga session, followed by breakfast and then an Ayurvedic or cultural activity, such as a cooking class or a melukat purification ceremony with a local shaman. Afternoons include lunch, optional journaling or pool time, and a second yoga class. Three 90-minute spa treatments are included, using Ayurvedic principles, and can be scheduled during the week.

The resort also offers guided excursions to explore authentic Bali. These include a walking tour through rice fields to the famous Tanah Lot temple at sunset, and a cycling tour through nearby villages, where you can observe daily life and local craftsmanship. The staff are known for their hospitality and attention to detail, and the on-site communication via WhatsApp ensures you have all the information you need.

Your teachers include Luh Dev, a Balinese woman from a high priest lineage who overcame illness through herbs and yoga, and Jane, an in-house teacher with a master's in social psychology and 500-hour Yoga Alliance certification. Dr. Han, a medical doctor, and Besral add to the diversity of teaching styles. The retreat is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners, as all classes are optional and can be adjusted to your skill level.
