The Shala Bali التقييمات

Stayed at Shala for a yoga retreat and loved the experience. It’s close to nature with stunning views of the paddy fields. The rooms have an authentic Balinese touch, featuring sculpted doors and windows (depending on the room). And the room I stay with semi outdoor bathroom which I love it. There’s a nearby café where you can relax anytime, and the vegan food is absolutely delicious. The people are friendly, making it a fantastic place for a retreat.

The Shala Bail exceeded my expectations. The staff were very warm and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure each day was great. The scenery was stunning. I thoroughly enjoyed walking through the rice fields each day to access the cafe, pool and yoga.

Came here for a marma point body and face massage. The masseuse asked if there’s a particular area I’d like to focus on I said feet and stomach. She didn’t spend more time on it than other regular massage. The surrounding is peaceful you’re outside and it’s all open with view on the gardens. When I was done with the massage though while getting dressed up and being butt naked there was people walking in the garden that could see me since I was seeing them too which is a problem obviously. When it was time to pay there was an extra 100k of taxes of all sort which I wasn’t expecting. Came here because it was more affordable but in the end I’m not sure it was worth the price.

Shala Bala in Ubud is a true hidden gem nestled in the heart of Bali’s lush rice fields. From the moment I arrived, I felt pure bliss. The staff here are simply the kindest, sweetest people you’ll ever meet. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home, with their warm smiles and impeccable attention to detail. Every interaction felt personal, making the experience even more magical. The retreat’s surroundings are nothing short of breathtaking. Picture endless stretches of vibrant green, the soothing sounds of nature, and a sense of peace. It’s the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life and reconnect with your inner self. I must mention the veggie café, which is an absolute dream! The food is beyond delicious – fresh, wholesome, and packed with flavor. Every meal felt like a nourishing feast for both body and soul. Whether you’re veggie or not, the dishes here will leave you completely satisfied as they are made with love . And the spa treatments—wow, just magical! I indulged in foot reflexology, a blissful Balinese massage, a rejuvenating facial, and the most enchanting flower bath. Each treatment felt like a deeply restorative journey. The skilled therapists made every moment pure heaven, and I left feeling lighter and completely refreshed. The flower bath, in particular, was like something out of a fairytale—soaking in petals while being surrounded by nature. It was the perfect touch to a day of pampering. The turndown service! It was like something out of a dream. Every evening, my room was transformed into a tranquil oasis, with little touches that made me feel like royalty. The attention to detail is incredible, and it’s clear the staff put so much love and care into making each guest’s stay unforgettable. Shala Bala is a true balm for the soul. Whether you’re here to relax, reflect, or recharge, this retreat offers the perfect setting. I left feeling completely rejuvenated, with a heart full of gratitude for this special place. If you’re ever in Ubud, this is an absolute must. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Thank you Lauren, for an experience that was nothing short of magical. I’ll be dreaming of my time here until I return!

Just discovered my little slice of paradise at The Shala in Ubud! Nestled in nature's embrace, this hidden gem has captured my heart. The incredible staff and mouthwatering food make it even more magical. Love this place. 🌿

The Shala Bali felt like home away from home. Lauren and the staff are the most beautiful humans! Every little detail was very special.. I didn’t want to leave! The yoga shala is breathtaking and I can’t wait to practice there again 🤩

Such a beautiful place with incredibly kind and knowledgeable staff. Yoga classes, rice paddy walks, spa treatments, mala bead making… the team organised a beautiful three day retreat and looked after me with so much care! The rooms are beautiful too and the organic food is delicious.

The Shala Bali is a beautiful retreat space, nestled among the rice fields and surrounded by the beauty of nature in Ubud. The facilities are beautiful, the staff are attentive and the food is delicious. A relaxing, peaceful and nourishing stay.

Ich durfte insgesamt 7 wundervolle Tage in diesem wirklich einmaligen Retreat verbringen. Ich hatte mich für die Variante 6 Nächte/7 Tage entschieden (Yoga for you) - eine Entscheidung die ich jedem empfehlen würde auf die 12 Tage auszudehnen! Nachdem ich schon an LWS und Hüfte operiert bin war für mich klar, dass ich ein etwas "personalisierteres Yoga" brauche - und hier bin ich definitiv fündig geworden. Louisa (eine der drei Eigentümerinnen) hat sich kurz nachdem ich angekommen war viel Zeit genommen um mich nach meinen orthopädischen Problemen zu befragen, zu hören was ich vom Retreat erwarte und hat auch noch anhand von gezielten Fragen meine Doshas bestimmt. Ich bin sehr gerne auf ihr Angebot eingegangen, dass sie passend zu meinen Doshas der Küche einen Essensplan zukommen lässt; generell hätte ich aber komplett à la carte essen können (und prinzipiell so oft und so viel wie ich möchte am Tag!). Die Küche ist exzellent und obwohl ich in Deutschland begeisterte Fleischesserin und Milchtrinkerin bin habe ich bei der vorgeschlagenen veganen Küche überhaupt nichts vermisst und war jeden Tag aufs neue glücklich mit den zubereiteten Gerichten. Im Rahmen des Yoga for you Retreats hatte ich insgesamt 2x pro Tag Yoga (1,5 h als Gruppenstunde in der Früh, 1,5h alleine am Nachmittag). Die Stunden wurden abwechselnd von Louisa oder Nikhil (ein weiterer Yogalehrer des Retreats) gehalten. Die beiden hatten sich vor allem für die Nachmittagsstunde einen Plan überlegt, wie man mich (sehr steif!) wieder in die Bewegung bringen kann. Anhand von vielen Hilfsmitteln und teils verschiedenen Varianten wurde für mich immer die beste Position gefunden und mit sehr viel Geduld korrigiert und erklärt. In diesem Retreat gilt wirklich "hands on" - man kann sich darauf verlassen, dass mit geschultem Blick und merklich jahrelanger Erfahrung die Positionen so lange korrigiert werden bis sie passen. Die beiden Yoga Shalas (ein großer und ein kleiner) blicken jeweils auf saftig grüne Reisfelder hinaus mit angrenzenden Palmen, eine wunderschöne Aussicht. Die Anlage selbst ist etwas außerhalb des Zentrums gelegen. Dadurch hat man allerdings direkt die Reisfelder mit vielen möglichen Spaziergängen direkt vor der Nase! Zu Fuß ist das Zentrum trotzdem noch gut zu erreichen und im Zweifel ist ein Mototaxi auch nicht teuer. Ich persönlich war über die Lage sehr froh, da das Zentrum sehr laut und trubelig ist und ich so viel besser abschalten konnte. Die Anlage ist etwas unterteilt - so gibt es zum Einen den Teil mit Pool, Yoga Shalas, Restaurant, Deluxe Rooms und Master Suites und zum Anderen den Teil mit Spa (Darshana-Spa) und Bungalows. Beide sind durch einen ca. 5 min langen Spaziergang miteinander verbunden. Da ich im Rahmen von meinem Retreat täglich (!) 1,5h Massage bekommen habe (hier durfte ich mir aussuchen was ich möchte bzw. bin hier auch auf Louisas Empfehlungen eingegangen) bin ich also immer wieder hin und hergelaufen - und es ist wirklich (!!!) nicht länger als 5 Minuten (wenn überhaupt). Ich hatte das Glück in einer Master Suite untergebracht gewesen zu sein . Die Räume sind unglaublich schön, mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und bieten einen tollen Ausblick auf die Reisfelder. "Meine" Master Suite hatte ein eigenes offenes Wohnzimmer mit Blick auf Reis und Palmen. Der Infinity Pool ist sehr sauber, schön anzusehen und bietet ebenfalls einen Ausblick in Richtung Palmen und Reisfelder. Der "Abschied" nach 7 Tagen ist mir wahrlich schwer gefallen - zum Einen wegen der echt wunderschönen Anlage, vor allem aber wegen der tollen menschlichen Erfahrung mit Louisa, Nikhil und ihrem Team. Nach den 7 Tagen waren meine Schmerzen merklich gelindert und ich auch deutlich beweglicher - ein Ergebnis, das ich mir so nicht hätte träumen lassen! Ich kann das Retreat jedem wärmstens empfehlen - ich hoffe selbst sobald es die Zeit zulässt wieder zurückkommen zu können - dann aber für 12 Tage :) !

This space is so perfect for any time in Bali. The rice fields give it a really peaceful Bali vibe and it’s quiet set back away from any traffic noise. They have a spa, cafe and amazing food so everything you need is here. Close enough to all that ubud has to offer. The private yoga session each day is a real treat also. A must if you’re coming to Ubud to stay or host a retreat!

My stay at the Shala Bali was amazing, very tranquil place, a hidden paradise I would say. Everyone is very kind and willing to help. Its a very relaxing and beautiful sanctuary.

I tried marma points body massage and marma points face massage with therapist Putu. I found her massage delightful, good pressure, great accuracy, pace and rhythm. The massage is done on a beautiful verandah with sounds of nature. Cosmetics used has subtle smell. The restaurant on site makes tasty and healthy cakes.

해당 숙소에서 요가 수련이나 다른 활동을 한다면 머물기 좋은 숙소입니다. 일반 여행자에게는 위치적인 부분이나 전반적인 분위기가 적합하지 않을 수 있습니다. 화장실과 수영장이 좋았고, 리뷰에 보이는 사진들 보다 방의 크기는 작았습니다. 직원들이 최선을 다해서 제가 필요로 하는것에 대해서 도움을 주려고 했습니다. 아쉬운 점은 우붓에 이 가격대의 더 좋은 숙소 선택지가 너무 많은 것 같네요.

This is a beautiful place, I wish I had stayed longer! Nikhil and Louisa are amazing yoga teachers, they take the time to address each student's individual needs and create a completely relaxed and serene atmosphere. The semi-open yoga studio is overlooking the rice fields into the jungle - there's no better place to practice yoga! The food is amazing as well. There are two restaurants with very varied vegetarian dishes, tasty smoothies and an amazing breakfast with high-quality ingredients. The spa treatments are great, too. You can choose from a variety of treatments, so they never get boring. Great infinity pool nestled into the jungle. Fun in-house activities and lovely guided walk through the rice paddies. Beautiful bungalow accommodation with a semi-open bathroom and a lush private garden with a patio. Efficient and kind organization of the entire program by Vina. All the staff are super friendly and relaxed and add to the entire experience. Highly recommended, I hope to be back 😊!

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a yoga retreat! Special service, great food, great location, great teachers and the spa treatments were great! Would definitely come back again!

Beautiful property and rooms. Villa room with rice fields view was gorgeous and serene. Only feedback is that they need to update their misquote nets which have holes (I requested that my first jet be changed, but the second one had holes too). This is important because if you leave the light on in the room at night the bugs will find their way into the room, and currently also into the misquote net given the holes. Also, the WiFi in the room stopped working at night, not sure why.

Incroyable, au calme dans les rizières. Piscine superbe. Cours de yoga particulier avec une professeure géniale. Cours de cuisine super. Merci à Vina pour son professionnalisme et sa réactivité et un grand merci aux équipes de ménage et cuisine.

Had an amazing weeklong stay at the Shala doing a personal yoga retreat. Enjoyed some creative and personalized yoga classes, skillful spa treatments and absolutely delicious food. The location couldn’t be topped, with my room tucked into the peaceful rice paddies but easy access to the bustle of Ubud! The staff are so kind and helpful. I miss the house made chocolate already!

Loved my stay at the Shala Bali . The property is beautiful with all amenities like pool , breakfast , yoga etc . Special mention for the amazing staff. I stayed with my mom for 4 days and the entire staff at the front desk , the shala cafe , cleaning staff made us feel so comfortable. Special mention to the Mumbai Cafe where we could enjoy Indian food - the Dosa's were yumm.. Also took the Spa and the ladies were so empathetic , professional yet warm! Highly recommended!
