EARTHQUAKE UPDATE
Everything is fine at Bali Silent Retreat, although there was significant movement on the top level of the lodge during the earthquake on Lombok Island, east of Bali in August, 2018.
We are grateful that our lodge was specially designed and built to be flexible in the event of small earthquake activity. But we’re located in Central Bali near Tabanan City and Mt. Batu Karu, which is not often affected by major earthquake or volcanic activity.

“The rice fields are amazing! The gardens are a beautiful meditation unto themselves. The helpful and smiling staff. The views! The Silence. The sounds of nature. But the one factor that will bring me back to Bali Silent Retreat is the heavenly feeling here on earth.”
