March 3, 2024 at 12:00 amI visited Bali for the first time and felt a bit nervous, but the warm and lovely staff welcomed and looked after me very well. The room was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the yoga instructors were amazing. I loved the holistic experience and that they offered 4-5 classes a day.
I was concerned about getting Bali Belly due to my sensitive stomach, but I didn’t have any issues despite eating fresh fruits and vegetables. The staff informed me that everything was washed with filtered water.
The retreat was perfect and exactly what I needed.

March 1, 2024 at 12:00 amThe atmosphere at the resort is amazing and so calming for anyone looking for some peace and quiet. All the yoga instructors here are top-notch. You won’t believe the variety and number of yoga classes they offer every day. And the best part? This place is right in the middle of the rice fields, far away from the noisy crowds on Bali’s shore. The staff here is super kind, friendly, and always ready to help. The rooms are beautifully designed, and the lush gardens surrounding the resort really add to the luxury vibe.

February 24, 2024 at 12:00 amI loved the whole place. Jane was the instructor who really stood out to me – she was so holistic and her meditation sessions were amazing. The spa treatments, the food, and the Balinese dance were all fantastic. Everything exceeded my expectations. Can’t wait to come back!

February 22, 2024 at 12:00 amI got belly bali while I was there. I didn’t consume anything from outside. Either the water or the food made me sick. It was a shame because I couldn’t enjoy the retreat – the location, the activities, and the meditation sessions.
Helpful ReviewMarianne Howard
February 22, 2024 at 12:00 amI wish they would rate the classes as Easy, Moderate, or Advanced. I had a hard time choosing because I didn’t know the different Yoga styles. The studio is lovely and intimate, not too big. We met beautiful people and the instructors are all gorgeous, offering classes for all levels. I can’t wait to come back regularly.

February 16, 2024 at 12:00 amI can’t find any faults with it. I’m going to recommend this to everyone I know – friends, family, strangers on the street – because it was such an AMAZING experience. It was my first time traveling and staying in a hotel alone, but I never felt lonely or bored. The retreat had activities planned every day, along with yoga classes, and the tours showed me beautiful parts of Bali. The yoga itself was so relaxing and I loved that it was different every day. The food was delicious, especially the smoothie bowls for breakfast! The spa treatments were incredible, especially the hot stones massage which made me fall asleep. The staff were all so friendly and attentive, they even remembered my name! When I had an issue with my AC on the first night, they quickly moved me to a new room. I felt so well taken care of and pampered in such a gorgeous place. I can’t recommend it enough and I already miss it every day I’m not there!

February 13, 2024 at 12:00 amI didn’t know in advance that one of the pools was closed for maintenance, but since it was low season, the other pool was always available. I wish there were more meditation sessions. The staff was super friendly and polite. They kept all the facilities very clean. The yoga program had plenty of options for beginners, and the staff were really good at helping me with my posture.

October 25, 2023 at 12:00 amThe place looks a little run down and the coffee could definitely be better. Let’s make sure we include a real balance of yoga, healthy food, cultural activities, relaxation, and opportunities to learn something new in life beyond just the retreat.

October 15, 2023 at 12:00 amNatürlich kostet ein dreitägiger Aufenthalt etwas mehr, aber es lohnt sich definitiv. Das Resort hat einen wunderschön gestalteten Garten und zwei fantastische Pools. Die Zimmer sind auch sehr ansprechend und das Bett ist super bequem! Die Yogastunden und Meditationssitzungen mit Jane waren großartig und man konnte viel daraus lernen. Das Begleitprogramm war auch wirklich interessant und schön gestaltet. Alles in allem war es ein toller Aufenthalt.

October 3, 2023 at 12:00 amDon’t wait, book De Moksha now!!! I experienced the 5 days 4 nights yoga retreat and it truly was one of the best experiences of my life. The value for the money (coming from the US) was absolutely incredible. I had access to unlimited yoga, a beautiful private room, two 90 minute massages, included meals, and various cultural activities all included. The property itself is stunning and every single staff member is incredibly dedicated and kind. They are very LGBTQI+ friendly and an equal opportunity employer. It is clear that they play an important role in their community. I will definitely be back to De Moksha. Thank you!

The room was huge and stunning, and I especially adored the outdoor bathroom!

September 15, 2023 at 12:00 amI found everything to be great except for the confusing check-in process. The website had a different schedule than what I received upon arrival. I was immediately bombarded with questions about activities and spa packages. I would have felt more comfortable if I had been given some time to relax after my long journey and receive more information about the retreat. After texting back and forth with Jane, everything was sorted out and I had a fantastic stay!! I highly recommend it.

June 26, 2023 at 12:00 amOverall, my experience at De Moksha is excellent, but the cleanness could use some improvement. I learned a lot from the super experienced Indian teacher, Sachin, and would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in doing yoga. The resort is beautiful, with 2 public swimming pools. My room is very nice and spacious. After we complained, the food got better. Ayu is very helpful whenever we need anything.
Helpful ReviewAlexandra Deinath
June 26, 2023 at 12:00 amThe cleanliness in the villas and public areas at the hotel/resort is abysmal. The food is a disaster; breakfast is okay but could use more variety for a three-week stay, such as different jams and bread. Lunch and dinner are tasteless, always the same, and sometimes inedible. 80% of guests suffered from severe diarrhea. On the bright side, the Ashtanga and Hatha yoga classes were excellent.

May 21, 2023 at 12:00 amThis place is exactly what I was looking for. Even though 3 days wasn’t enough, it still felt like a special place with impressive yoga, quiet time, and nice spa treatments.

Helpful ReviewLara Davis
May 18, 2023 at 12:00 amEverything at de Moksha was absolutely fantastic from the moment we arrived to when we left. The amazing atmosphere designed like a sustainable jungle paradise and the lovely staff contribute to a wonderful experience. They pay attention to small details and make you feel like they genuinely care about your experience, which adds a personal touch. It was also cool to learn that the owner hires deaf and other potentially marginalized individuals who may have trouble finding work elsewhere here.
Some highlights included:
– Attending fantastic yoga classes led by Jane and Lou (Devi) daily that helped us connect deeply with ourselves.
– Enjoying a fun and delicious Balinese cooking class with Ayu and the chef.
– Indulging in different spa treatments every day with the skilled and lovely Yati and Mega.
– Dining in the restaurant where Aksis and Wayan provided excellent service and delicious vegetarian options.
– Easily communicating with the reception staff, Iluh and Pitia, for any questions or requests, both in person and through WhatsApp. They even helped us arrange transportation to Canggu and then to Ubud on our next leg of the trip.
Overall, we are extremely grateful for the beautiful and peaceful days spent at de Moksha. We will definitely return if we come back to Bali.

February 15, 2023 at 12:00 amI didn’t realize there would be kids and families here. You don’t usually expect children splashing in the pool or babies crying when you book a yoga retreat… It’s kind of a letdown. They should have families stay in a separate area or limit how many can come at once. I was surprised by all the dogs too. Sometimes it felt more like I was in their house than at a yoga retreat… But Jane’s morning yoga classes were amazing. She brings a great energy and includes meditation and affirmations. The Melukat experience in Bali was really nice. The location is secluded but perfect, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The rooms are gorgeous, with amazing linens, super comfy beds, and a joy to use outdoor bathrooms. The food is delicious, but dinners can be a bit heavy. The activities they offer are a great way to fill up the rest of your day.

January 17, 2023 at 12:00 amIt was more of a vacation with yoga, not a yoga retreat. There was only one scheduled yoga session. Additional sessions were sometimes possible. I would have liked at least two yoga sessions plus meditation to call it a yoga retreat.
The food was okay, but not great. I don’t know why the kitchen still has to offer Italian dishes instead of focusing on local specialties. Only then it would be good… The beautiful property with rice fields and lots of green not only pleased the eye, but also relaxed us.
Everyone was very nice and made an effort to make sure we were comfortable.

January 8, 2023 at 12:00 amYou can’t really call it a yoga retreat if there’s only one class per day!
