"Peaceful place to reconnect with your self and others "
Baligrass is an amazing place to enjoy yoga and local culture with Balinese people. Nestled in a small village between rice terraces this place is for those looking for peace of mind and best suited for those happy to share this experience with other like-minded travelers.
Most other guests are solo women travelers and the days are filled with yoga and other activities so you can always do something or choose to relax.
I enjoyed the local food, healthy and varied (to the limits of what Indonesian cuisine offers) and the attention to detail of all the staff, always careful that guests have a great time. I spent 7 nights and while initially I thought it might have been much, it actually ended up being perfect because I could experience everything. You also enter in the routine of yoga :)
However you can stay as long as you want, some guests are here a few days only, others a few weeks.
Thank you Baligrass staff!

Absolute best sleep I have had in a long time. Only stayed two nights and was such a great reset in the middle of traveling. Could have easily stayed a week. Would be hard to come through Bali again and not come back.
The yoga was fantastic. The setting was gorgeous. The beds were so comfortable and the sheets incredibly soft. The food was delicious. I ate way more than I usually do just because it was too good to not finish.

"Balitrees is excellent to calm and clear your mind."
The whole experience in Balitrees was excellent. Everything was going smoothly. The room as well as the whole resort was super clean. The food was delicious from breakfast to dinner it was always excellent and healthy. Especially the cookies had addiction potential ;D Two times a day you are doing yoga. I really liked every single class experiencing different yoga types. The teachers were excellent. Being surrounded by rice terrace was harmonious. Additionally, the activities were well organized and were a lot of fun.
I had absolutely nothing to complain about. Every member of the staff was friendly and helpful. Also the messages were good.
Also going back to Denpasar was spontaneously well organized and the driver waited for me to grab a GoJek, so I will get home safely.
Thank you for having me, I will definitely come back!

"Authentic yogaretreat in Balinese village"
I loved the lush green and the view of the ricefields everyday. The feeling of this place feels authentic, because all the Balinese working here and also only Balinese yogateachers. The staff makes a great effort too make your stay worthwhile. If there is something you want or if you have some feedback, they always try their best to cater to you or adjust somethings. I loved the different kinds of yoga, the different authentic Balinese activities within the village and the positive vibes! I made really deep connections with other participants, the vibes that facilitated it, was by this amazing place.
Thank you Dewi, Krishna and everyone else!
Note for future visitors: you are always free to make your own excursions if you want to and skip a part of the program if you feel like it; i would recommend this when you will stay for more than a week. But do not skip yoga too much, it works wonders ;-)
I will see you next time and i will bring my husband to also experience your beautifull retreat. I wish you all the best!

My time at Balitrees has been a memorable one. I spent 23 days here and felt very content when I left. The staff are some of the kindest people I've ever met and really care that you're comfortable and happy. The yoga teachers are very knowledgeable and encourage you to listen to your body rather than force anything. The activities were fun (my personal favourites were the local waterfall visit, the music class and cooking class) and they were a good chance to get to know fellow guests. The location was very beautiful but also rural which I thought at first would be an issue. Instead it challenged me to tap into myself and appreciate the stunning natural surroundings around me. I was completely content here. If you want a peaceful break from all the noise and chaos of the cities, to focus on yourself and learn about traditional Balinese culture, this gem tucked away in the rice fields is the place for you. I hope to be visiting again soon.

It was my first time in a yoga retreat and to be honest, my expectations were much lower. But I spent the most wonderful holidays in my life so far. The atmosphere in the retreat was warm and friendly, but the main reason I would return is the people. All of them, the staff, yoga teachers and other guests were just awesome. I already really miss these guys. Thank you all so much for the time we spent together and this amazing experience you gave me. Hopefully we all will meet again 😀

"A little piece of heaven "
The staff are incredibly friendly and generous with knowledgeable! (Hey Dewi)
The village where Bali trees is is just incredible, take as many walks around as possible but be warned every single dog in the village will bark at you 😂
The yoga classes with Krishna especially were my favourite, I wish she could come home with me.
I am lucky to have made some really close connections with some of the other people staying at the same time as me, it really made the retreat special.
Be warned you will be spending all day every day with people you don’t know, as an introvert that scared me but it ended up being great, just go with the flow, sometimes things get changed around or a teacher might now show up but just go with the flow, island time baby.

This was the most beautiful place on earth for me. Not only geographically but mentally, physically and spiritually - I was at peace with where I was during my 5-day stay here. The food, meditation and the healing yoga had a positive effect on my well-being. It was easy to be in the moment and go with the flow of things since the staff had everything planned out for you. It was a humbling experience learning about the village's culture and tradition. Everyone was so nice and good vibes all the time. I would mentally keep coming back to this place whenever I need to calm down and meditate. Plus points to Kirsna for being such a great yoga teacher.

"Review Renew Reset"
Found the location true to its beautiful picturesque scenery posts. A village that may be just over two hours from the city, but such a blissful setting once you get to it. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. Local corner store selling yummy goodies and ice blocks for 20cents, that open when you request something. Meeting people from all over the world and sharing stories over meals was such a blessed experience. Drivers willing to take you anywhere at anytime . Getting motor bike rides back to my villa was so much fun and the experience undeniable.
Walking through the village , chatting to the happy villagers and then being so gentle, friendly , kind and honest was amazing. I loved my trip which comprised of five days and four nights and thoroughly enjoyed my yoga, meditation and cultural activities. I also made sure I made lots of “me time”, to just relax by the pool in my villa ( Bali garden) . It was the perfect place to review, renew and reset. I’ll be back for sure and take my darling husband with me for an experience we will never forget . Thank you Dewi, you run amazing show and create job opportunities for all the people in the village- sustaining their daily livelihood.

"More than i expected "
The location is just so beautiful. The Balitree village is off the beaten track. If you want a real getaway from it all this is perfect especially if you are recovering from an illness or just need to recharge your batteries. The staff are so caring and accommodating. Fabulous treatments from a full body scrub, massage, facial, pedicure and manicure all executed to a high caring standard. We ate our meals all at the same time which was great fun, food was presented lovely with a good selection of healthy dishes and smoothies. The stay was a no fuss basic accommodation. You must check were you are staying as some accommodation is off the premises so if you are staying for more than 2/3 nights then I would pay the extra to stay in the rooms at Balitree residence. I stayed for 20 days and met lots of fabulous people. The gardens and views are beautiful. The yoga covers from beginners (like me), but the instructors also made sure challenges for the advanced client. Plenty of excursions to choose and no effort to arrange a taxi to anywhere. Dewi who leads this fabulous team is a great asset, her care and consideration is also shown in her team. Yosi who helps with organising the excursions .. nothing is to much trouble for him. Basically you are in good safe hands with The Balitree Family.

I loved the crew over there, it feels like a family :)
they would help in anything you ask, and they truly care :)
it's away from the crowded touristic places, situated in a village in Tabanan in a rice field.
this retreat has different types of accomodation for all budgets and the distance would differ from one accomodation to another.
some accomodation are in the retreaf itself, others are in guest houses or home stays, amd others are in Sesandan Garden where I stayed.
Sesandan garden is just amazing although it's 10 mins walking but the retreat has so many drivers who would pick you up and drop you

In addition, Balitrees staff is extremely friendly and helpful, seeking to meet your needs and making you feel like home :) I stayed for 10 days and highly recommend this experience to everyone who likes yoga, nature, experience exchange and beautiful Bali.

The location was stunning, nestled in amongst the Rice fields is the little slice of heaven called Balitrees Retreat. Such a nice setup they have with a nice dining/chill area up top and the pool overlooking the fields below. Super peaceful and quiet, perfect to relax!
All the yoga teachers were amazing during my time there, all were super friendly and very accommodating to all levels of experience.
The food was delicious too. Lots of traditional Balinese cuisine to try and fresh fruit as well.
And the staff were a massive part of what made my experience there so great. Everyone was super friendly, always smiling and happy to assist with anything that was required. Be it with activities, organising excursions or sorting out extra food or fruit.
The team here have done an amazing job to create such a nice retreat that brings the local community together and offers the chance to get away from the tourist hotspots to just relax and enjoy Bali in a more local/traditional sense.

The place was very serene and relaxing. The view of the rice paddy fields and the walk through the village was beautiful. I truly enjoyed myself while I was there for 5 days and it was a nice break.

The staff were really friendly and makes you feel at home. I would definitely be returning and would recommend it!

"A must have experience "
It’s been almost two weeks since I left Balitrees and... what amazing experience I had there!
It is very special what you get in this place: since the very first until the very last moment we are treated like family! The Balitrees community is very welcoming and they try to provide you the best, always with a smile in the face!
The surroundings are incredibly beautiful; the silence and peace mixed with the soft breezes are so relaxing; the yoga sessions at the dojo with the green view of the rice fields are undoubtedly unique. There’s a very good balance between the superb Achie in the morning sessions, who gives you different options/levels, who individually corrects your posture and allows you to push yourself to the next level, and Krisna, who gives you a calmer session in the afternoon.
The cultural experiences are also unique and a plus in this retreat: besides learning a lot of new things, we get the opportunity to interact with the local community, which I loved.
Well... long version short: whoever is looking for some yoga retreats and an authentic and unique experience in Bali Should definitely go to Balitrees for, at least, 5 days. I will come back one day, for sure!
Go and I can ensure you won’t regret it!

"Eye-opening and so motivating for my yoga practice!"
I enjoyed everything there! It is a perfect place to relax in tranquility as there is noone but the rice fields and local village people. The staff is too friendly! I made some good friends there. They really make sure your stay is as pleasant and possible. Regards to Dian, Dewi, Aya, Andri... and Madeyoshi - he is too committed to this job! A driver, activity manager, photographer and an amazing man!
However the yoga journey itself really exceeded my expectations. I thought it's gonna be a week of yoga practice - but it was so much more. I reached asanas that I thought were not possible for me. I reached states of mind that I thought I was too weak to achieve. I learned so much about chakras, moon and sun salutation, mantras, mudras and so much more about the traditional Watukaru yoga. Thank you Giri and Krishna! They are always ready to share new knowledge... I was so inspired I even took notes in between of postures. I took a lot from there. The next day I bought own yoga mat and saluted the sun, just as they tought me... THANK YOU!

Balitrees is the number one location for solo travelers in Bali. The picturesque scenery, the food, and the team really made it feel like you were visiting a friends home. There is daily yoga/meditation as well as daily trips to a nearby waterfall, town, or shaman- you choose! Grab a massage down in the relaxation area, or do nothing but read on terrace all day overlooking the rice fields. There is also a nearby shop with ice cream for a night time treat! I will be going back for a much longer stay as I met the best people and made some great friends!

Dewi - was the over all in charge, Made Yossi organized tours and August were assisting us. All of the team of Balitrees Retreat has made me feel like a part of their family.
Dewi is wonderful yoga teacher and thanks to Krishna and Adi for explaining us details regarding the chakras.
I was planning to spend my birthday quietly but they busted me and surprised me with magic candle 😂
The food were mostly veggies which are all delightful. I dont mind gaining two kg of weight because I am surrounded with lovely positive people.
The place is so serene. The sound of nature is perfect for solo travellers who likes to seek tranquility.
The dogs accompany you and acts as your protector whenever you take a walk. So much positive energy!
Kudos to Balitrees! Looking forward to another retreat hopefully the soonest!
God bless you all and your team! Matur Suksama for an amazing experience I will always remember!

We booked the retreat for a 5day stay and were overwhelmed by the beauty of the surroundings. A few hours after arriving we already knew - we will stay another night!
In the middle of the rice fields we did yoga, meditated, had the opportunity to do a lot of activities and get to know the locals. We were welcomed like a family member and when we left (we didn't want to but we already planned the following days) it felt like leaving our second home. Everyone there is so kind and tries their best to give you an unforgettable experience there.
In these 6 days we had an amazing experience, progressed so much in yoga thanks to the hard working instructors, and grounded ourselves in mother nature.
Thank you so much, Bali trees Team, we will come back as soon as possible!

"The best part of my Bali trip! Amazing 4 days at Baligrass"
I've spent 4 amazing days at Baligrass retreat and I'm so happy that I chose to go there! For sure, it went all beyond my expectations!!
The balinese yoga lessons were great, even for a beginner like me, and they are held in a wonderful location, with the view on the rice fields.
The dining area is simple, but it has everything you might need (view always included). The food is delicious and it's different every day, served by all the lovely people working hard everyday there.
The cultural activities were always very interesting and fun to do. You get a choice between 2 or 3 activities, after each yoga session. I tried rice farming, trekking, preparing hindu offerings, balinese lessons and a visit to the waterfall and I loved them all!
This program is the perfect mixture of yoga and of cultural/traditional activities, that allows you to discover the real bali life, away from crowded tourist places. During these 4 days I learnt so many things, I took my mind off all the stressfull thoughts I had before and discovered a big pleasure in just being in contact with nature.
But most of all, I found out how amazing Balinese people can be.. they're welcoming, smiling, curious and they made me feel part of the village. I now have a balinese family!
If you want an even deeper cultural immersion in the balinese life, I'd suggest you to choose the homestay option.
I stayed at Bali Red Roses, with Mr. Wayan's family and I enjoyed it so much!
Suksuma Pisan Baligrass!

"Superbe"
Lieux magiques, personnel/ gens du village super gentils. Ils font tout pour vous faire découvrir leur culture, surprises, nourriture végétarienne excellente servie sous format de buffet. Il faut s’attendre à une expérience rustique et non pas dans le lyxe, mais vous sortez avec l’impression d’en avoir telliement appris sur la vraie vie balinaise, cours de yoga adaptés à tous. Plutôt spirituels quêtes sportif. Axés sur la méditation et les chakras. Une de mes meilleures expériences à Bali! Si vous y allez,vous allez être occupés par toutes les activités tout en vous reposant.

"Wonderful Experience"
Everything from the accommodations to the excursions to the yoga classes to the organizers to the other participants was wonderful. This was not a tourist area, which lended itself to an authentic experience that one cannot get from just exploring on one's own. All the people from the village who opened their houses to us were lovely. This is very much an immersion in traditional Balinese culture, so please do not come here expecting the "Western" idea of a yoga retreat. Truly an unforgettable experience and I hope to return again!

"Peaceful and unwind "
I loved everything. It was our mum’s trip to sleep n relax (we both have small kids) and it was perfect for that. So great to see how the village keeps n work together. The activities was interesting (u can choose what to do : make coconut oil, swinging on the swing over the rice fields, rice farming, swimming on the waterfall and so on..)
It was totally unique and unwind place. I would come again!!

"Great Stay, I learned a lot"
The retreat is on such a beautiful place. All the Staff is so friendly and symphatic. I enlongerd my stay for 2more days because I liked it so much. The whole village works together so you can do so many different cultural activitys. The whole concept allows to have a very authentic experience in bali, compared to the majority of places on the island. The yogaclasses were so interesting, and everybody could take part, from experienced to beginner. The teachers were so nice and i learned a lot. Absolutely recommendable!

"Fantastic. Yoga plus many other varied activities "
What an amazing location. So lush and beautiful. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Amazing food. And so much involvement with the local community. I did a lot of activities in my five days but it still felt relaxing! Lots of yoga (2x 2 hours a day), meditation, massage, tai chi, martial arts, watching coconut oil being made, taking a dip in a waterfall, a swing over the fields, rice farming, met many great people! I wish I had had time for a Balinese language lesson and a music lesson too! I took the home stay option. Basic but homely, incredible value. The owner was lovely, left us Balinese cakes every morning so we had a little "pre-breakfast" before the main breakfast! Always on hand for little conversations or mini tours. It's not for you if you want high-end luxury and lots of personal technical yoga instruction. But if you want to experience yoga, different optional activities and Balinese culture in a beautiful, authentic location and help the community I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to recommend Balitrees and I hope to come back one day!

"Peace amongst the paddy fields"
I came for four days and would have stayed longer if I hadn’t already booked other plans. The village as a collective has seemingly all bought into making this retreat a warm, friendly, authentic slice of Balinese life and culture. The setting is idyllic, the accommodation and food all good and the friendly staff make it a wonderful experience. The yoga and meditation were traditional and offered a real chance to “unplug” from busy western ways.
I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone looking for an authentic/ restorative experience.

"Amazing yoga and meditation retreat"
This experience was great and very interesting, the staff was very hospitable and well took care of us. Food and accommodation was excellent. Yoga and meditation classes was really good quality, perfect for beginners and discover the basics and origins of yoga, our teacher was great and very sweet. This retreat was relaxing, isolated in the middle of the rice fields and in the heart of a small local village where the inhabitants are adorables and where the atmosphere is zen and serene. The cultural activities included in the program were very interesting and aim to help the local people of the village. Thank you for this stay, it was Perfect !!

"Wunderbar😄"
Das kleine Dorf gab mir einen guten Einblick in das wahre Bali, fern vom Massentourismus.. Früh und am Nachmittag gab es eine yogasessions , welche immer im freien zwischen den Reisfeldern statt finden, egal bei welchem Wetter. Das gab dem allem nochmals einem besonderen Charme. Meine yogagruppe war zwischen 8-10 Leuten, was eine schöne Gruppengröße war und dazu beitrug den Aufenthalt ein familiäres Gefühl zu verleihen.

"You will not regret it!"
Not just a yoga retreat in a beautiful location but a snapshot into Balinese village life. Great yoga instructor, great food, lots of activities available in free time, comfortable homestay, everyone so friendly. The retreat itself is in the most stunning location - I would go again even just to spend a few days in such a beautiful and peaceful place. Really really recommend, incredible value for money.

"7 days yoga retreat, massage and balinese village experience"
Everything was amazing! Instead of staying 3 nights I extended to 7... Great Yoga with a very good teacher, Krishna. The Yoga sessions usually start with warming up, before practising some asanas and traditional flows. In the end we usually had quite a long meditation, often with spiritual chakra growing. Often alternative choices such as Tai Chi possible.
My homestay (red roses) was lovely, Mr. Wayan and his family were very kind, everything was clean and comfortable. It was only a 5 minutes walk to the main area, but there was always someone to drop you by bike. Mr. Wayan took me to see sunrise and a very nice "selfie spot". I enjoyed the morning chat with him having coffee and balinese cakes so much!
The village activities were very interesting. I am very happy that the people in the village share their knowledge and activities with us, such as rice farming, language classes and the visit to the village's shaman.
My massages were very good, the spa is nicely located with a view in the forest. I could chose every day whether I want to participate in the second activity or go to traditional or modern massage. Traditional massage with the healer was quite an experience, I am glad to have done it once.
The whole team was very very kind and helpful all the time.

"Enjoy every minute wished I had stayed longer awesome experi"
The laid back schedule and that we were able to participate in so many extracurricular activities and all exclusive. Such great people. I didn’t know what to expect but I would definitely recommend to anyone stay longer than 4 days though!

"Sweet sweet balitrees!"
The people are amazing, the experience is amazing. If you are expecting a western sparkly yoga retreat, don't come here. Instead if you'd like to be spoiled by the staff, taken on adventures around the village and do a lot of Bali yoga. Come here! The concept is a bit chaotic, but it works and I had the best time. The home stay is lovely, the food is absolutely gorgeous and the surroundings lovely. Highly recommend! Thanks dewi, krishna, adi madi and everyone else. I loved my stay!!!

"Real Balinese Life Experience."
Finnally i found the place where i can see the real Bali. Not like mostly place in Bali which are much touristic. The staff at Baligrass are so genuine! They go above and beyond to ensure you have the best time. I chose Baligrass because it also included cultural activities, unlike many other yoga retreats. Baligrass is very connected with the nature and the local community. Our experience was perfect! The location was amazing, in the middle of rice fields. Highly reccommend to anyone looking for peace of life.
