the location

Less than an hour’s drive from Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), the resort is at Keramas village with views of Nusa Lembongan island. Nearby are the white-sand Virgin Beach; the markets, eateries and galleries of Ubud; and the bat-filled Goa Lawah Temple.

Black sand beaches adorn the coastline, and beautiful sweeping fields of rice paddies carpet much of the landscape. East Bali also holds much history of the Kings of Karangasem, and many of the best places to visit will having you walking in their footsteps. Tirta Gangga and the Water Palace are two such places.

The “entryway” to East Bali is commonly considered the city of Candi Dasa, which sits on the East Coast of Bali, and is a very popular resort town. Just a bit further south is Padang Bai, which is the main ferry port for Bali, and the entry and exit spot for the Gili islands or Lombok.

East Bali is an amazing place to visit. It has some of the best spots in Bali, especially if you are a photographer or a diver. There is plenty to explore, and you’ll have plenty of free time to strike out on your own and explore outside of the retreat.

the facilities

BEACH CLUB: The resort is home to a fabulous Beach Club. The Beach Club swimming pool looks out over stunning black sand to the sea. There’s also a massage center, a hair and beauty salon, and a boutique. If you work up an appetite outside of your included meals, there's plenty of great food choices on offer including an array of healthy juices, colorful cocktails, delicious seafood, authentic pizzas, and fresh salads. The resort uses local farm-to-table produce where possible, much of it grown on site as well as world-famous Australian coffee.

HEALTH HUB: A newly launched “Health Hub” facility is available so you can recharge your mind, body and soul. The Health Hub pool, surrounded by gardens, is perfect for laps. The Health Hub restaurant dishes up healthy, plant-based meals and cold-pressed juices, while the day spa provides a vast array of relaxing spa treatments.

YOGA SPACES: 3 yoga studios are fully equipped with mats, straps, blocks and everything else we’ll need for our yoga classes and feature luxurious yoga pavilions with breathtaking jungle & ocean views.

Our resort hosts a world-class gym with all the equipment (and more!) you’d expect at a top-end fitness center, including free weights, kettlebells, bosu balls, ropes, TRX, treadmills and other cardio equipment, foam rollers and so much more. You can use the gym facilities at your leisure - morning, noon and night.

SURFING: The resort offers a world-first permanent night surfing installation right in front of the resort. You can enjoy the amazing spectacle of surfers battling the waves at night, or even book a night surf for yourself under powerful floodlights. Bookings ensure there are only 6 surfers sharing the waves each night, so you can enjoy the powerful right-hand reef breaks off Keramas reef without the crowds.

THE FOOD

A 100% plant based-diet is available for vegans, vegetarians and anyone looking for healthy food in Bali. The resort grows some of its own food on site in its very own organic garden. The rest is sourced and carefully handpicked from local, organic and sustainable farmers. 

For breakfast, choose from dishes including a tofu scramble with veggies and turmeric or a green smoothie bowl. At lunch, choose from one of nine plant-based burgers or healthy versions of Balinese classics like nasi goreng and yellow curry. Skipping dessert would be a mistake with gluten-free options like sweet potato cake and black rice klepon.

Wherever possible, food grown on-site grown in organic gardens is used. Depending on the time of year, you might find bananas, eggplant, chillies, passion fruit or beans growing there. All chicken and pork products are free-range and the seafood is sustainably sourced, not farmed.
