Split between the cultural heart of Ubud and the tranquil mountains, waterfalls and shores of Les in North Bali, the retreat combines luxurious comfort with natural serenity. There will be beautiful nature hikes, waterfalls, yoga flows, Balinese rituals, pilgirmages, temples and cultural wisdom, and you will also discovering practical Ayurvedic tools to bring balance back home into your daily life.
