During this retreat, you will be staying at any homestay or guest house/bungalow type of accommodation, spreading across the Sesandan Megati Village. Baligrass Retreats offers an authentic taste of Bali, nestled in the quiet traditional village and the main retreats area (yoga, other activities, dining area) is surrounded by the rice paddy farmlands of Sesandan Megati village.
Homestay type means guests will stay at a local family house. Guest house type means guests will stay at a more private location, not at the local family house. All the accommodations, either homestay type or guest house type are located separately from the retreat center (yoga, activity, dining area). It takes about 5 minutes drive or 10 minutes walk from the accommodation to the retreat center. Shuttle services are provided to connect guests from the accommodation and retreat center.
