2-week yoga retreat and self-healing vacation in Ubud, Bali.

I have traveled a lot before, including staying in expensive hotel chains, but I’ve never experienced the warm and heartfelt hospitality like at Purana. They take care of everything and it’s definitely the top choice in Ubud. There are other cafes and restaurants around the hotel, as well as a club with a large pool area, so you can also enjoy diverse dining outside of the hotel. The property is like a small green paradise and very well-maintained. The hotel offers a shuttle service to the city center, which is a big plus for solo travelers like me. The package I booked included everything to get to know the typical Bali, with the yoga session being particularly special, and I highly recommend the massages. I came back feeling 100% rejuvenated and I would choose and recommend this hotel again. Thank you very much.

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

Tini, the yoga teacher, is amazing because she also provides therapeutic massages.

I loved the candlelight dinner. The team puts in a lot of effort 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 requested to have them done directly in their salon at Purana Suites rather than in the room.

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

I had such a great time at Purana Suite! The staff was super friendly and made me feel so comfortable and welcome. Tini, the yoga teacher, was absolutely amazing. She did an outstanding job and I feel so lucky to have met her. Noru, the driver, was fantastic and took me around town for my purification. The cooking class was also really well-prepared and a lot of fun. Thank you so much!

Tout était parfait lors de ma visite à Rien Tout ! Le personnel était incroyablement gentil et attentionné. Et ne parlons pas de la prof de yoga, elle est vraiment incroyable ! Je recommande vivement cet endroit à quiconque souhaite vivre une expérience de retraite de yoga personnalisée.

Mir hat einfach alles gefallen – die Mitarbeiter waren so nett zu jeder Zeit und sehr zuvorkommend. Sie haben einem immer weitergeholfen und sich super um einen gekümmert. Auch die Yoga-Stunden und die Massagen waren super. Die Lage war ebenfalls gut, man konnte das Zentrum in circa 15 Minuten zu Fuß erreichen. Außerdem wird ein kostenloser Shuttle angeboten. Ich werde das Resort auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!

I wasn’t too happy with the breakfast I paid extra for. The options were really limited and the chef didn’t even know how to fry an egg properly. On top of that, by the time it arrived in my room, it was already cold because they had to transport it from another location. This caused some problems for me since I had other appointments to get to and I had to order it at specific times, but it was always delivered 30-45 minutes late.

As for the yoga retreat, it was a bit underwhelming. I know they had to let go of some staff due to Covid, but they really should have hired someone with more experience. Juli, the instructor, was a very nice lady, but she ended up doing the same easy yoga routine every single day without making any modifications for my personal restrictions caused by my back issues. The whole sequence felt disjointed and far from the meditative and relaxing experience that yoga should be. It wasn’t challenging at all or a good workout to get my heart rate up. I also found it stressful when she would ask me to do poses that I couldn’t do without offering any alternatives. However, she did help me stretch well and gave some good tips on my posture. She was also kind enough to offer massages for my sore areas. I just think she needs more training as a yoga teacher and the resort should put in more effort to create a true retreat atmosphere. There was no music, aromatherapy, incense, or sense of community. Additionally, unlike other teachers I’ve had, she didn’t even introduce herself or set any intentions for the practice.

On a positive note, the one bedroom pool villa I stayed in was absolutely gorgeous and comfortable. The staff were all so accommodating and kind. The shuttle services were excellent as well, and the whole staff went above and beyond to make sure I had a pleasant stay.

I don’t have any negative comments. I really enjoyed the tranquility and beautiful private villas at Purana Boutique hotel. The yoga instructor’s lessons were excellent, and the service from the Purana staff was exceptionally good.

The staff genuinely cared about us and took the time to chat and make us feel welcome. They were completely professional and hardworking while also showing that nothing was too much trouble. We were constantly surprised by the small touches they added throughout our stay in all aspects.

It’s so nice to experience the stillness away from all the hustle and bustle, along with the unwavering customer service from a team of professionals. The convenience of drop off and pick up in Ubud city centre just adds to the amazing experience. A big thank you to all the staff for perfectly resetting my body and calming my mind.

This retreat can’t be called a yoga and cycling getaway truthfully. Although the resort amazed us with its beauty, the yoga sessions were quite basic (like for beginners) and one day the instructor didn’t even show up. But let me tell you, the rooms were absolutely gorgeous and equipped with top-notch amenities. The staff, oh my, they were outstanding! Always there for us, catering to our every need.

I had an amazing and peaceful break at the resort! The resort itself was fantastic, and the food was absolutely great. I really loved doing daily yoga and getting massages – they were so relaxing. But you know what made my stay even better? The staff! Tude, Putri, August, Nita, and many others were just excellent. They were always smiling and attentive, and they even happily made changes to my itinerary when I asked. All in all, my short stay at Purana was really enjoyable.

The restaurant isn’t in the best location, but it doesn’t really matter because Ubud is only 5-8 minutes away and there are plenty of amazing restaurants there. We’ve been to many places, but this is definitely the best one we’ve stayed at considering the price. The villa is absolutely stunning and secluded, and we were treated like VIPs. August, our butler, was exceptional at his job. I wish I could hire him! Doing yoga every day next to our own pool was so inspiring, and having breakfast delivered right after was such a delightful surprise. We’re already making plans for a longer stay.

I didn’t really enjoy some of the room service food, like the duck spring rolls and calamari rings. They didn’t taste fresh at all! But, the Crispy Duck was absolutely amazing and made up for it.

I was really looking forward to the candlelight dinner that was included in my package. Unfortunately, it was raining that night, so they couldn’t set up the pool with petals like I had hoped. I was a bit disappointed, but I understood. The dinner itself wasn’t really to my taste, it was a 3-course meal.

The best things about my stay at Purana were the beautiful villa with a private pool. It was incredible to have my bath and shower outside. However, I have to mention that if you’re scared of spiders, mosquitoes, and other flying creatures (like I am), you might want to think twice about staying in Ubud, as it’s a tropical location and you’ll encounter unwanted critters throughout your stay.

I had never done yoga before, but my instructor was so patient, kind, and made me feel really comfortable.

The breakfast served in my villa every morning was the absolute best part. I love boutique resorts for this reason. The breakfast menu had a huge variety of options to choose from. One day, I even had a “floating breakfast” which was lovely.

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

Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at Purana. It’s a beautiful resort with excellent customer service.

I stayed at Purana Boutique Resort and had the most amazing experience. The staff at the resort were incredibly friendly, obliging, and efficient. They made my stay truly enjoyable. The villa I stayed in was perfect – it was clean, well-maintained, and had all the amenities I needed for my break. I loved the tranquility and serenity of the place; I didn’t even come across another guest during my stay. The meals I had were absolutely exquisite; I couldn’t have asked for better. I wish I could have extended my stay at Purana – it was definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had, especially for my first solo holiday. I am definitely going to return in the future. Thank you so much, Purana, for making my stay unforgettable.

Everything was perfect. The villa was sparkling clean, with peaceful surroundings and an attentive staff.

The yoga classes could have been better, but the staff, especially August, and the room, private pool, and overall value for money were amazing!
