RETREAT OVERVIEW
Rising from nature’s purest state is our eco retreat venue in the heart of Bali near Mount Batukaru. Our Yoga retreat center is a green sanctuary of jungle bungalows where retreaters reconnect with nature, discover pure food and immerse themselves in tropical food forests, permaculture, and traditional Balinese life. Our Bali Retreat center is the lovechild of Australian couple Cath & John which tired of the treadmill existence of western life decided to embark on a journey in search of new horizons and discovered in this magical island a nature based business opportunity in which they could practice conservation and sustainability. With the help of landowners Agung & Mini, and their neighbouring community they have created a symbiotic synergy to bring alive a truly inspiring Eco Yoga retreat venue in Bali.
Here every part of the whole is essential that is why our retreat venue uses water responsibly saving as much as possible, serves you the best possible food in the cleanest and purest way puting permaculture at the heart of everything they do, funding programmes in nearby schools to educate the next generation of local children on recycling and environmental awareness, aiming to inspire locals and guests to live more sustainably, caring for nature as she provides and nurtures us.
Away from todays distractions, back to simple yet comfortable living in open air bungalows that witness the beauty of nature, enjoying the richness of organic onsite produce, naturally filtered pure spring water packed with minerals and nutrients from Mount Batukaru, your retreat group will be able to settle in, connect with nature and focus in the moment in a fantastic jungle paradise of peace.

the venue
Our beautiful Yoga retreat venue for hire in Bali is 450 meters above sea level on the Southern slopes of Mount Batukaru (2200 m), Bali’s second highest mountain and only around 1.5 to 2 hours from Ubud and Kuta. The land on which our Bali Yoga retreat center has been built was leased from the local owners for 50 years. The Balinese landowners have retained ownership of their property but have also become an integral part of the business, working as office manager and restaurant manager. This means they have a personal interest in making the resort an incredible place to stay and the perfect natural wellness escape for your retreat group.
