Cooking and yoga retreat for four days in Ubud, Bali.

I have traveled a lot, including staying in high-end hotel chains, but I have never experienced the warm and heartfelt hospitality like at Purana. At Purana, they take care of everything and it’s definitely the top choice in Ubud. Around the hotel, there are also other cafes and restaurants, as well as a club with a large pool area, so you can have diverse dining options outside the hotel. The property is like a small green paradise and very well-maintained.

The hotel offers a shuttle service to get to the city center, which is a huge plus for solo travelers. The package I booked included everything to experience the typical Bali, and the yoga class was especially wonderful, along with the highly recommended massages. I came back feeling 100% refreshed and would choose and recommend this hotel again and again. Thank you so much.

Everything was perfect. However, I have a simple suggestion. I find it a shame that the restaurant is located next to the reception and takes up the space of the lobby. The restaurant should be placed in a different location for more privacy, maybe on another floor. I had a wonderful and high-quality stay at the Purana Boutique Resort.

Tini, the yoga instructor, is awesome because she also provides therapeutic massages.

I loved the candlelit dinner. The team puts in all their efforts to make it a magical moment and the meal prepared by the chef was excellent.

I also loved the beauty and comfort of the private villa and the room with a private pool. I also enjoyed the massage and facial treatment. For these two, I asked to have them done directly in their salon at the Purana suites instead of the room.

And the day spent with August on the excursion was amazing. August is very professional and has a great sense of customer service with good communication in English. He does everything possible to ensure your satisfaction. Thank you to him.

I had such a great time at Purana Suite! The staff there was incredibly friendly, and they made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. Tini, my yoga teacher, was absolutely amazing. She did a fantastic job, and I’m so grateful that I had the opportunity to meet her. Noru, the driver, was also fantastic. He took me around town for my purification, and the cooking class was both well-prepared and a lot of fun. I can’t thank you enough for such a wonderful experience!

Le staff était incroyablement gentil et attentionné chez Rien Tout. La prof de yoga est incroyable, je la recommande à tous ceux qui cherchent à faire une retraite de yoga sur mesure.

Mir hat einfach alles gefallen – die Mitarbeiter waren zu jeder Zeit so nett und zuvorkommend – sie haben mir immer geholfen und sich super um mich gekümmert – die Yoga-Stunden und die Massagen waren auch super. Die Lage war auch gut, nur etwa 15 Minuten Fußweg zum Zentrum. Sie bieten auch einen kostenlosen Shuttle an. Ich werde das Resort auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!

I didn’t have a great experience with the breakfast I paid extra for. The options were very limited and the chef didn’t know how to fry an egg. To top it off, the food was cold by the time it reached my room because they transport it from the restaurant at their other location. I even tried ordering it at specific times to fit my schedule, but it was always delivered 30-45 minutes later than requested.

As for the yoga retreat, it was quite underwhelming. I understand that they had to lay off staff due to Covid, but they should have hired someone with more experience. Juli, the instructor, was a sweet lady but she did the same easy yoga sequence every day without considering my personal restrictions due to a back injury. There was no flow to the sequence and it didn’t feel meditative or relaxing, which is what yoga is supposed to be. It wasn’t challenging at all and didn’t raise my heart rate. It got kind of stressful when she wanted me to do poses I couldn’t do without offering any alternatives. However, she was good at helping me stretch and correcting my posture. She even offered to massage my sore areas. I think she just needs more yoga teacher training and the resort should make more of an effort to create a true retreat atmosphere. There was no music, aromatherapy, incense, or sense of community. The instructor also didn’t give an introduction like other teachers I’ve had to set the intentions for the practice.

On a positive note, the one bedroom pool villa was absolutely stunning and comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and kind, going above and beyond. The shuttle services were also excellent.

I have no negative comment. I really loved the tranquility and the beautiful private villas at Purana Boutique hotel. The yoga instructor gave excellent lessons, and the service from the Purana staff is outstanding.

The staff genuinely cared about us and took the time to chat, making us feel incredibly welcome. They were both professional and hardworking, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. They always surprised us with thoughtful touches throughout our stay.

The hustle and bustle didn’t apply here. Our team of professionals provided unwavering customer service while enjoying the peacefulness. We made drop off and pick up in Ubud city centre convenient for you. I want to express my gratitude to all the staff for giving my body the perfect reset and calming my mind.

Calling this a yoga and cycling retreat would be misleading. The resort itself was absolutely beautiful, but the yoga classes were extremely basic, suitable only for beginners. To make matters worse, the instructor didn’t even show up on one of the days. However, I must say that the rooms were absolutely stunning and luxuriously furnished. The staff at the resort were outstanding, providing excellent service and showing great attentiveness.

I had an amazing and relaxing break at Purana. The resort was fantastic, and the food was delicious. I really loved doing yoga and getting massages every day. But what made my stay truly special were the staff members like Tude, Putri, August, and Nita. They were always happy and attentive, and they didn’t hesitate to make changes to my schedule. I really liked staying at Purana overall.

The restaurant isn’t in a great location, but that’s no big deal since Ubud is just a short 5-8 minute drive away and there are plenty of amazing dining options there. We’ve traveled a lot, but this place is hands down the best we’ve ever stayed at for the price we paid. The villa itself is absolutely stunning and offers complete privacy. The staff treated us like VIPs, especially August, our fantastic butler. I wish he worked for me! Starting each day with yoga by our own private pool was incredibly motivating, and having breakfast delivered right after was such a special treat. We’re already making plans for a longer stay next time.

I just want to mention that some of the room service food wasn’t great. The duck spring rolls and calamari rings didn’t taste fresh at all. However, the Crispy Duck was absolutely amazing and made up for it!

My package included a candlelight dinner which I had high hopes for. Unfortunately, it was raining on the night I had it, so they couldn’t set up the pool with petals as planned. I was a bit disappointed, but I understood. The dinner itself didn’t completely satisfy my taste buds.

Now, let me tell you the best parts of my stay at Purana. First, the villa with a private pool was absolutely beautiful. I loved that my bath and shower were outside, it was such a unique experience. However, I have to warn you, if you’re scared of spiders, mosquitoes, and other flying insects like I am, think twice about staying in Ubud as it’s a tropical location and you’ll come across some unwanted critters during your stay.

Secondly, I had never done yoga before, but my instructor was so patient and kind. They made me feel extremely comfortable throughout the sessions.

The breakfast served every morning in my villa was the highlight of my stay. I absolutely loved it! The menu had a wide variety of options to choose from. On one of the days, I even had a “floating breakfast” which was such a lovely experience.

Another great thing was the private excursion trip around the North of Ubud. I paid 600,000 IDR for a half-day trip to see temples, the view of Mount Batung, Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and the Monkey Forest. My butler, Adi, accompanied me and provided interesting historical information at each location. They have a lot of different excursions to choose from and they even let you customize them according to your preference.

Overall, I highly recommend staying at this beautiful resort. The customer service is top-notch and the resort itself is amazing.

I had the most amazing stay at Purana Boutique Resort! The staff were incredibly friendly, obliging, and efficient. My villa was spotless and had all the amenities I needed for my break. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful; I didn’t even see another guest. The meals I had were absolutely exquisite. I really wish I could have stayed there longer. This trip, being my first solo holiday, was probably one of the best experiences I’ve had. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you, Purana!

Everything was perfect. The villa had such a clean atmosphere, peaceful surroundings, and an attentive staff.

The yoga classes could have been better. The staff, especially August, the room, the private pool – everything you get for what you pay is just amazing!
