Rainforest Yoga & Wellness Escape in Bali's Hidden Highlands

Bali Palms is tucked into Laleng village in Tabanan Regency, the 'rice bowl' of Bali, well away from the Seminyak crowds. The retreat focuses on daily yoga — vinyasa flow in the mornings, yin or restorative in the afternoons — led by Eli, a Balinese instructor who trained locally and in India. Sessions happen on an open-air deck with views over the jungle canopy.

Between classes there are guided hikes: one through the surrounding rainforest, another to a nearby waterfall and through a traditional Balinese village. The property itself has a pool, a restaurant serving three meals daily, and a small spa where you'll receive a 30-minute massage plus a 60-minute aromatherapy treatment over the course of the stay.

Accommodation is in standalone bamboo-and-brick cabins designed to feel like traditional Balinese houses, but with air conditioning, king beds with cotton linens, and semi-outdoor bathrooms tiled in natural stone. Each cabin has its own wooden terrace facing the gardens, and they're spaced apart for privacy.

The food leans healthy but isn't restrictive — red rice, noodles, fresh vegetables, seasonal soups, plus Balinese desserts. Breakfast spreads include tropical fruit, salads, smoothies, jamu (a traditional Indonesian tonic), and fresh coconut. The kitchen caters to vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and halal diets with advance notice.

This is not a bootcamp or an intensive training programme. It suits people who want a week of gentle movement, good food and quiet surroundings — whether you've never done yoga before or have a regular practice you'd like to maintain while on holiday.
