Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat & Spa

I've just spent two weeks at Sukhavati and what a special place it is. Everything was amazing...the villas, food, treatments, yoga. The best thing about this retreat however is definitely the staff and team. They are like one big family and ensure that every guest is looked after based on their individual needs. The location (being 15-20 minutes from Canggu) means that you can really immerse yourself in the retreat and its beautiful surroundings, however you are still close enough should you want to do some shopping or need anything. I look forward to returning here again in the future.

Warm and memorable My stay ended with a facial and foot massage – what a wonderful, grounding note to send me off refreshed. It perfectly captured the caring and attentive spirit of my entire stay at Sukhavati. As a long-time believer in Ayurveda, this was my third Panchakarma detox, and the experience was expertly guided by Dr. D and the compassionate team. I felt genuinely looked after and supported at every step of the program. The rooms were very comfortable, and the food was divine—a truly nourishing part of the journey. Beyond the treatments, one of the things I love most about these retreats are the meaningful connections with fellow guests. I’ll carry those, along with the bright smiles of the whole team, with me long after leaving. — Cristina

Sukhavati Ayurvedic Retreat is simply amazing! We have travelled to India twice for Ayurvedic treatments (Panchakarma) and while our stays there were wonderful, they truly do not compare to the quality of the treatments we have had here at Sukhavati. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel like family. The location is in a peaceful and quiet area of Bali, about an hour from the airport and from Ubud. The entire environment here helps to cocoon you from the outside world. Upon arrival, you have a consultation with the Ayurvedic Doctor who will formulate a treatment plan with you, depending upon what you need in order to come back into balance. You have recurring appointments throughout your stay. The level of care and compassion the therapists have, and the quality of the treatments is absolutely amazing. Treatments take place in open air private rooms overlooking a river, so you bliss out to the sound of the rushing water... The villas all have individual characteristics that make your stay simply magical. The beds are so ridiculously comfortable (with organic linen sheets), that we had trouble sleeping when we left to other areas of Bali. The food is absolutely exceptional and each meal is created fresh with local ingredients and made with such love and care - even if you're not vegetarian or vegan, you won't notice because it's so delicious. If you have specific items that are gently restricted during your treatments, the kitchen is well informed and makes food especially for you. And all served like a work of art! Meals are at a large table in the open air dining space, so you eat with the other guests which makes for some great conversations and new friends! The entire staff here is so wonderful and make you feel right at home. Whatever you need, they will help you with it. If you're feeling burned out, stressed, exhausted, or dealing with a health issue, go to Sukhavati. You will leave feeling like a new person.

It's my 4th visit to Sukhavati, and I had clear goals when I arrived. Most notably to partner with me in my menopause journey. I am a clinical Ayurveda & TCM herbalist so I know what works for me. But I learned so much from Dr D to help my journey. All of the staff across kitchen, spa, housekeeping, reception, gardeners, yoga, knowledgeable drivers are skilled in their craft. I thoroughly enjoyed my 10 days with this incredible team. Thank you!

Sukhavati was an amazing experience and exactly what I was hoping for when I was on my search for a nurturing environment to do a panchakarma retreat. It is the perfect place to detox and experience downtime from the world, held beautifully within a peaceful village location. The grounds are stunning and the villa outstanding, so I happily chose not to leave despite the wonderful excursions on offer. My room was the nicest villa I have ever stayed in, with ample places to rest, and the bed was so comfortable that I will miss it when I go home to my own! The doctors and staff are incredibly caring, talented and professional. There is nothing Sukhavati hasn’t thought of to make the detox experience an easeful and enjoyable one. Everything is so well planned and you don’t need to do anything or even think about anything as you are completely taken care of. The spa treatments and massages are fabulous, and set to a backdrop of the river and jungle. Last but not at all least, the food is wonderful and a main part of the experience. I wish I could eat like this all the time. Twice a day yoga classes are also included and everything on the daily schedule is completely optional. I would recommend Sukhavati to anyone who is looking to dedicate some time to their healing or self-care. I can totally see why people return year after year as I will definitely be back again.
