Meditation, Prayer and Restful Contemplation in Silence
Stay a day, a week, a month, forever. Create your own schedule & Programs, your own inner journey, in profound peace, silence and restoration. (not vipassana, not a religious supported ashram; no guru, no dogma). All-Day-Buffet with freshly picked organics. More than a meditative retreat center, Bali Silent Retreat is an off-the-grid-eco-sanctuary committed to sustainable principles.
Practice the ‘Art of Nothing’ and ‘Rest, Sleep, Eat and Repeat’ — In Silence.

What to Expect
Guests say there is no other place on the planet like Bali Silent Retreat. They say it’s ‘life changing’ — We agree. And think maybe there’s magic in the land, absorbed and shared by the guests. Bali Silent Retreat is minimalist and luxurious at the same time. There’s no social talking nor e-devices, except at the office & co-work space or hot springs. Guests naturally detox on many levels, because of no caffeine, no alcohol, no meat, no dairy, no chemicals, no imported goods and most importantly no social chatting.
NOTE: the first 3 days are challenging (no caffeine & not much talking). But there is soooooooo much to do, people keep busy.
Food
All-Day-Buffet (Internationally acclaimed!) Three organic vegetarian buffets/day and an all-day grazing table (fresh fruits, cookies, herbal teas, snacks- look out for those cassava crisps! ♥ ). Our food is always bursting with living energy! 90% vegan. Slow Food certified. Prepared by our Garden-to-Table chefs who: 1 › select fresh vegetables from our organic gardens, 2 › super clean it, 3 › pour their love and passion into preparation, 4 › serve it.
