I had a fantastic experience at Bali Silent Retreat. The bed was comfortable, the food absolutely amazing 10/10, outdoor hot shower was beautiful, all the classes simple and stress-free, there were many activities (all optional) such as jungle walk, water meditation, hot springs etc, and all the staff were super friendly. Highly recommend if you need to disconnect from the world for a while!

I spent 7 days at BSR and it was the most peaceful and spiritual 7 days of my life. I journaled daily, walked the gardens, read books on my porch or the upstairs common room. I meditated everyday, attended the movement classes which I found so grounding. The water meditation was beautifully powerful. I found my meditation rhythm and received some powerful messages on the 6th day. The food was nourishing in every way and it reset my health as my body began to adjust to the tastes. Incredible. The room was perfect and the outdoor shower was amazing. Nature was all around and I fully embraced every moment. I hope to return one day in the future. Thank you for taking care of me BSR xx

Beautiful, rustic, simple log cabins, fantastic vegetarian food (and yes, you have to wash your own things/it didn’t bother me), yoga classes vary in difficulty depending on the teacher, but are beginner-friendly. Books are allowed here in the silent retreat, which I don’t like. Even though the books were super interesting, I prefer retreats where books are prohibited. Wonderful ceremony, flower praying, and fire ceremony Thank you, I will be back 🙏🏻

I had the absolute pleasure of booking a 3 night stay at Bali Silent Retreat from July 25-28th. It was the most humbling and rewarding experience and I highly recommend to anyone seeking a retreat away from the noise of the city (or an overthinking mind) . It gave me the opportunity to really truly and intentionally be in silence with myself, nature, and the beautiful land of Bali. I chose the single room and was amazed by the cleanliness and comfort. It was very modest accommodations that provided the basic necessities (i.e., towel, face cloth, bedding, robe for sleeping, mosquito net around bed, etc.). You could see (and feel) the amount of effort and care that was taken to ensure respect for the guests AND the natural habitat AND the environment. The focus on environmental sustainability and how we can use these practices within our own homes and places of work was very inspiring. I took part in the morning yoga on the second day and it helped me cultivate an open mindset and set the tone for mindful listening throughout the day. The food was absolutely incredible! We made our own tea using fresh plants and herbs and we washed our own dishes after meals. We were responsible for our things and I found that to be very humbling. There is a library where I borrowed and read How to Sit by Thich Nhat Hanh that was exquisitely appropriate. Thank you to all of the Angels who cooked delicious, hearty, and healthy meals. You could taste the love. Thank you to all of the Angels who welcomed me to Bali Silent Retreat and treated me like family. You made me feel safe. Thank you to the founders of the retreat for creating this beautiful space for us to develop our meditation practice and sit in silence. Suksma. And most importantly, thank you to all of the sentient beings who granted me permission to let go and explore, wonder, and appreciate all they give. Endless waves of gratitude.

I’ve just finished three days at the Bali Silent Retreat, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences of my life. I stayed in a deluxe cabin overlooking the rice fields—the sunrise views were absolutely breathtaking and are still vivid in my mind. Every morning, they leave a warm ginger tea outside your door, perfect for sitting quietly and soaking in the beauty of the place. The grounds are magical, from the crystal labyrinth to the forest trails—the energy is truly unmatched. And the food deserves its own chapter! Everything is fresh, full of flavour, and absolutely delicious. I’ve travelled the world tasting food, and this is without a doubt among the best I’ve ever had. The simplicity combined with flavour completely won me over. The outdoor shower was another highlight—showering under the open sky with the sounds of nature around you is an experience in itself. I will definitely be coming back in the future and am already recommending it to all my friends. Thank you, Bali Silent Retreat, for an unforgettable three days!

Everything is well thought out and lovingly curated. I felt very cared for by even the smallest details. I would go back again without a second thought!

Bali Silent Retreat became more than just a silent retreat to me. It became the place I can call home. A place filled with heart-loving people who offer me space to reconnect with my inner self. and return to my inner home. That’s why I will always come back.

Such a hidden gem of Bali! Food was INSANELY good, you could feel the energy. All the activities were so thoughtful. Really enjoyed sharing silence with others. Connecting with humans without words, and with deeper layers of yourself. If you need to disconnect with the outside world to reconnect with the inside world, this is the place! I stayed in the most basic room and really enjoyed it. Very clean.

This was an amazing opportunity to attend a silent retreat, and it was truly a one-of-a-kind experience that I will cherish for years to come.

The sights and sounds of nature created an atmosphere of peace that was essential to the experience.

Guidance and Structure: The retreat schedule was well-organized, balancing periods of meditation, yoga, and free time for personal reflection. The guidance provided by the facilitators was insightful without being intrusive, allowing me to explore my thoughts at my own pace.
Personal Growth: During the retreat, I found moments of profound self-discovery. The silence allowed me to confront and reflect on thoughts and emotions that I often pushed aside. I gained clarity on several personal issues, leading to a sense of inner peace that I had not experienced before.
Challenges: Adjusting to the silence was initially challenging. I found it difficult to quiet my mind, and there were moments of discomfort as I faced my thoughts. However, these challenges ultimately led to breakthroughs that I deeply appreciate.
Overall Impact: Since returning from the retreat, I’ve noticed a significant shift in my perspective. I feel more centered and mindful in my daily life. The experience has encouraged me to integrate moments of silence and reflection into my routine, which has improved my overall well-being.

I’ve just completed a 10-day stay at the Silent Retreat in Ubud and it’s been a deeply healing and magical experience. The retreat is surrounded by rice fields and stunning gardens, with sacred spaces like a stone labyrinth, jungle walk, water meditation area, a “crying chair” for emotional release, and peaceful trails through nature. I stayed in silence the entire 10 days, even off-property, which was incredibly nourishing. There are daily opportunities for movement and meditation, as well as optional rice field walks and visits to nearby hot springs. Everything here supports deep rest and reconnection. The food is a true highlight—grown entirely on-site, chemical-free, and prepared with love. I joined the cooking demo and left with beautiful recipes and even more appreciation. The staff are kind and supportive without disrupting the peace. I stayed in a wooden bungalow for extra seclusion, which was perfect for the depth of my journey. One thing to note: pricing was quoted in USD but not clearly stated, which was a surprise as an Aussie. The accommodation may feel slightly overpriced compared to other Ubud retreats, but the energy and experience here are truly priceless. I stayed for 10 days, but many guests come for 3–5 days. Most say you need at least five days here, and I would completely agree. From the moment I arrived, I felt emotion stir—this place holds something truly special. If you’re open, you’ll receive exactly what you need. I’m so grateful and would absolutely return.

Bali Silent Retreat is a truly calming and peaceful experience – a much-needed break from the hustle bustle of daily life. From the moment I arrived, the serene atmosphere and surroundings immediately set the tone for deep relaxation and introspection. Sometimes it just feels right to slow down, to process things differently, and to see life from a different perspective. This retreat provided the perfect environment to do exactly that. The silence allowed me to disconnect from external noise and reconnect with myself in a way I hadn’t realized I needed. One of the unexpected highlights of my stay was the vegan food. Each meal was thoughtfully prepared, nourishing not just the body but also the soul. The dishes were fresh, flavourful, and carefully curated – a delightful addition to the overall experience. If you’re looking for a space to reset, reflect, and recharge, this retreat is truly a gift to yourself. I left feeling more grounded, refreshed, and grateful.

The Bali Silent Retreat was one of the best experiences I’ve had in years. Every single day there was transformative in its own unique way. I found answers I had been seeking for over seven years, which is nothing short of life-changing. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, creating an atmosphere of warmth and care. The morning stretching and meditation sessions are a beautiful way to start the day, leaving both your body and mind feeling light and refreshed. The food is absolutely exceptional – organically grown on-site and prepared fresh daily. Every meal was a feast for the senses, truly to die for. The retreat itself is stunningly beautiful, a serene haven where you can fully immerse yourself in nature and reconnect with your inner self. If you’re looking for a space to find clarity, peace, and deep transformation, I can’t recommend this place highly enough!

My stay at Bali Silent Retreat was simply magical! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at peace. The entire place is impeccably clean and creates the perfect atmosphere to relax and recharge. The vegetarian food was a true highlight – incredibly fresh, with produce straight from the garden, and absolutely delicious. The “Office Angels” were so kind, helpful, and welcoming.

A special place in nature, and an oasis of tranquillity. For me, this was a week to escape the social pressures of Dutch life. I stayed for eight days and definitely found peace. Beautiful surroundings and delicious food, with the breakfast being a standout. Definitely recommended if you want to find peace within yourself!
