Sukhavati Retreat Bali
Sukhavati Retreat is an exclusive
six-villa property located within a timeless Hindu village by the
Penet River in South Bali. Built on three distinct levels and set
among a hectare of virgin jungle and landscaped tropical gardens,
the retreat offers a rare blend of luxury and intimacy with the
natural environment.
Designed to accommodate up to 14 guests, the retreat’s
health and well-being oriented facilities include three salt-water
swimming pools, a dining and entertainment pavilion, a health and
beauty spa, and an open-air yoga and meditation bale.
Whether for a large family, a small retreat group,
a wedding or special event, Sukhavati Retreat is the ideal base
from which to explore the scenic and cultural wonders of Bali –
The Island of the Gods.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Amitabha is located on an elevated
position high on Sukhavati’s uppermost level, Amitabha is
a luxury villa boasting beautiful panoramic views of the entire
property. On clear mornings guests may take breakfast by their own
private relaxation gazebo under the watchful gaze of Mount Batukaru
in Bali’s northwest. Amitabha also contains a private salt-water
cool pool and tanning deck.
Maitreya is located on Sukhavati’s
lower level by the Penet River, this very private luxury villa is
surrounded by jungle and towering Taap trees and lies within one
of the property’s highest energy points. Maitreya also contains
a private open-air lounging area, salt-water cool pool and relaxing
tanning deck.
White Tara is located next to Sukhavati
Retreat’s yoga and meditation bale, White Tara is a deluxe
villa backing onto the retreat's main rock cliff face. Guests in
this villa will enjoy a massage in the total privacy of their own
outdoor bathroom or indulge in a delicious breakfast on a private
balcony overlooking gardens and pristine jungle.
Vajrapani is centrally located directly
behind the retreat’s main salt-water swimming pool, Vajrapani
is a deluxe villa situated on a slightly elevated position backing
onto the property’s main rock cliff face. Like White Tara
and Samantabhadra, this villa boasts a uniquely landscaped private
outdoor bathroom.
Samantabhadra is a deluxe villa located next to Vajrapani
and directly behind Manjushri on Sukhavati Retreat’s middle
level. Like those two villas, it boasts a large outdoor bathroom
with a shower built into the property’s main rock cliff face.
A statue of a water-carrying Balinese maiden - hand carved into
the cliff - offers the soothing sounds of running water to guests
in this villa.
Manjushri is a slightly smaller standard villa located directly
next to the retreat’s main swimming pool. It boasts beautiful
views of the virgin jungle across the Penet River. Guests staying
in Manjushri will also find outdoor relaxation space just meters
away at Sukhavati’s main bale next to the pavilion. Manjushri’s
indoor bathroom is both luxurious and well appointed.
STAFF
Sukhavati Retreat’s staff of twenty young Balinese men and
women have been carefully selected to take care of your every need
during your stay. Their various services include cooking, cleaning,
driving, gardening and night-time security. Several skilled massage
and spa therapists will also be on hand to provide a range of health
and beauty treatments throughout your stay. All staff members will
be at the retreat from the time you wake up for your morning tea
until the time you retire to your villas at night. Their beautiful
smiles and graceful ways will linger in your memory long after you
have departed for home.
DINING
Dining is an essential part of the Sukhavati Retreat experience.
With this in mind, ‘Pak’ Eka (who is also the retreat's
general manager) has created a system of delicious and very reasonably
priced set menus for guests to enjoy. Sukhavati Retreat's cuisine
takes in the regional flavors of Bali and Java, as well as a number
of sumptuous East-West “fusion” dishes that Pak Eka
has specially trained our kitchen staff to prepare. Importantly,
all set menus and buffets offer both vegetarian and non-vegetarian
alternatives, and are prepared using only the freshest and most
wholesome ingredients.
SPA
With health and beauty treatments dating back centuries, Bali is
recognized the world over as the spiritual home of spa and massage
services. In partnership with Manori Spa, Sukhavati Retreat offers
guests a range of exotic treatments by professionally trained staff.
Whether for the body or the face, feet or hands, all treatment programs
provide a therapeutic, relaxing and rejuvenating experience, stimulating
the body's recuperative power and enhancing the healing effects
of your holiday. Manori Spa uses only natural products to enhance
well being and reduce stress while offering retreat guests a choice
of aromatic massage fragrances and flower oils, including relaxing
lavender, invigorating lemon and orange, and soothing ylang ylang.
YOGA & MEDITATION
Sukhavati Retreat’s peaceful seclusion and location within
very spiritual Hindu-Buddhist culture makes it an ideal place for
meditation, yoga and other mind and body pursuits. With this in
mind, the retreat has been purpose-built as a facility for teachers
and instructors of such healing arts who conduct small-group retreats
around the world. With its fully equipped “yoga and meditation
pavilion”, spa services and healthy food menus, the retreat
offers group leaders an exclusive, new cutting-edge retreat destination
in one of the world’s true paradises. For groups traveling
without an accompanying teacher, the retreat can provide access
to a number of gifted instructors and healers who live and work
on the island.
WEDDINGS
With its romantic setting and exclusive accommodations, Sukhavati
Retreat is the ideal place in Bali to celebrate an intimate small-scale
wedding. Whether a three-day, one-week or longer-stay affair, we
are able to work together with Bali’s leading wedding organizers
to make your dreamed-for event a magical reality. For wedding groups
larger than 12, the retreat can assist in organizing additional
accommodation at several other luxury villas in the area.
GOLF
Located just ten minutes drive away from the famous Le Meridien
Nirwana golf course, Sukhavati Retreat is the ideal base from which
to enjoy your Bali golfing experience. Twice voted the best golf
resort in Asia by Asian Golf Monthly Magazine, the Le Meridian Nirwana
is just one of several high quality courses on the island that the
retreat is able to offer preferential rates at for our guests. The
retreat also has a practice driving net facility, as well as a small
chipping area, so that golfing enthusiasts can tune-up before they
hit the fairways.
CORPORATE INCENTIVE
What better way to reward the leaders of your business than with
a well-earned trip to paradise. With activities as diverse as tai-chi,
golf and white water rafting, group leaders can work with us to
create a customized itinerary that will both relax and invigorate
the spirit. Sukhavati Retreat is also situated in an area of Bali
renowned as an epicenter of cultural and artistic pursuits, particularly
dancing and music. Whether viewing a private legong dancing performance
by local schoolchildren, or through a trip to the nearby artist’s
enclave of Ubud, guests will have many opportunities to experience
the spiritual heart of this amazing island.

Just 40 minutes' drive from Bali's Ngurah Rai airport, Sukhavati
Retreat is located in Badung Regency in the popular South Bali area,
