GoogleWe organized a retreat here, and it was truly a beautiful and transformative experience for everyone. Guests loved the elegant rooms, the exceptional service, and the breathtaking views of the rice terraces. The food was not only delicious but also nourishing for both body and soul. The entire team was incredibly kind, attentive, and supportive, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This is a special place where you can slow down, experience true luxury, and deeply reconnect with yourself.
I loved staying here! So relaxing, rooms are very clean, staff are so helpful and lovely. Beautiful pool and cafe to relax. They have a spa for treatments you don’t even need to leave! The Mumbai cafe attached has really yummy food too.
This was our second retreat at the Shala Bali, as always everyone and everything was exactly as we needed. All of our guests love the grounds, the clean and lovingly made food, the spa treatments, the smiles of all the staff. You feel like you enter a special space as you make you way into the retreat space, and the views of the rice fields along the way. The yoga Shala was the perfect spot for our daily classes. We love it here and highly recommend x thank you to all the staff across the whole retreat you are amazing!
Stayed at Shala for a yoga retreat and loved the experience. It’s close to nature with stunning views of the paddy fields. The rooms have an authentic Balinese touch, featuring sculpted doors and windows (depending on the room). And the room I stay with semi outdoor bathroom which I love it. There’s a nearby café where you can relax anytime, and the vegan food is absolutely delicious. The people are friendly, making it a fantastic place for a retreat.
I had the most wonderful stay at The Shala in Ubud. As a solo female traveler, I felt incredibly safe and cared for throughout my time here. The staff are truly exceptional—special thanks to Mas at the spa and Manik at reception for being so warm, thoughtful, and helpful. Manik even coordinated for me to visit the Tirta Empul water temple and participate in the ceremony, which wasn’t even on their activity list! ❤️ I did the in-house Healthy Holiday retreat and it was exactly what I needed—peaceful, nourishing, and grounding. The yoga classes were beautifully led by inspiring teachers, and the on-site Shala Cafe (different from Mumbai Station) served some of the best breakfasts I’ve had in Bali. I stayed in one of the bungalow rooms, which was both beautiful and bug-free—a rarity and a treat! I already miss the serene atmosphere and the sweet resident cats. My only regret is not staying longer. Can’t wait to come back.
