Itinerary

Arrival Day

Denpasar, Indonesia

Upon arrival at Bali's international airport, you will be greeted by our tour guide and driver, Wayan, who will lead our group through this entire journey. Check in at your leisure to Sudamala Resort, our wonderful beachfront paradise.

Day 1

Sanur, Bali

Opt in to the first morning yoga of the retreat! Breakfast at your leisure at the hotel.

In the afternoon, we begin our amazing journey to the spectacular Balinese sea temple Pura Luhur Uluwatu. Perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea, this temple sits between the ocean and sky, and is dedicated to Rudra, the one who screams and howls unconsciousness into creation. With the setting sun as a backdrop, enjoy the Kecak fire dance ceremony. This traditional performance combines Balinese song, dance, and theater in retelling part of the Ramayana, one of the epic stories of yogic mythology! End the first day with an amazing and abundant seafood dinner on the beach.

Day 2 • Free Day

Sanur, Bali

Begin this morning as every other, with your choice of yoga, breakfast, and more. Enjoy a free day to take advantage of the many benefits our resort has to offer. Spend the day on the beach; book your massage (included) at the spa; sit by the pool; or explore on your own!

Day 3

Travel Day

After the morning activities, check out of the hotel and travel to Ubud, the cultural capital of Bali. The striking landscapes of dense tropical forests are offset by the beauty of surrounding farms and rice paddies while heading up into the mountains towards the center of the island.

Check in to Royal Kamuela Villas & Suites. Enjoy free time.

In the evening, walk to the nearby Pura Taman Saraswati temple. Here in the open air, experience the beautiful and highly cultivated Legong dance performed to the dynamic driving sounds of a Balinese Gamelan orchestra.

Day 4

Ubud, Bali

Yoga is held on the hotel's luscious grounds, followed by a sumptuous breakfast at the hotel.

Witness a Barong dance. In Balinese mythology, Barong is a panther-like creature representing virtue, who battles against evil. Then visit artisan villages known for their exquisite craft making, passed down from one generation to the next, exploring textiles, wood carving, silversmithing, stone carving, and other great shopping opportunities. Included is a visit to a workshop to learn about and participate in the traditional process of batik.

Afterwards, enjoy a free evening.

Day 5 • Free Day

Ubud, Bali

Enjoy one full day of free time to relax or explore on your own. Additional excursions are available for individuals or small groups upon request.

Day 6

Ubud, Bali

Luxuriate in the spread of morning yoga or take advantage of your private floating breakfast before visiting the beautiful grounds of the former Royal Palace, Tirta Gangga. Stroll along its gorgeous gardens, walking from stone to stone through its many pools to the Patirthan temple. Next, marvel in the impressive views of the Pura Penataran Agung Lempuyang, at the summit of Mount Lempuyang, 1,175 meters above sea level. For those of a willing mind and body, climb 1,700 steps up to the temple!

Day 7

Ubud, Bali

Breakfast and yoga are followed by a drive through the beautiful landscapes of the rice terraces to the Pura Tirta Empul. A Hindu Balinese water temple, immerse yourself in the holy spring waters: sprinkle drops on your forehead, dangle your feet in the pools, or dip in fully-clothed for a ritual bath.

Day 8

Travel Day

Check out of the hotel after a final breakfast and yoga class in Ubud. Begin the journey back towards the coast; among various stops is the ultimate stop at Tanah Lot, one of Bali's most important landmarks. Famed for its unique offshore settings and picturesque views, explore the area's varied terrains and temple pathways.

Return to the retreat's inaugural beach resort in Sanur. Conclude the retreat with a farewell feast!

Our friend and guide Wayan welcomes us to his home village for an immersive evening experience where you can learn some of his family's crafts and participate in prepping the evening's meal.

Day 9

Departure Day

The last meal of the retreat is breakfast at the hotel. Our guide Wayan will coordinate transportation to the airport for departure.
