The Wana Yoga Package Retreat offers a wonderful opportunity to recharge your mind and spirit amidst the tranquility of a dense forest. You can experience the coolness and serenity of the forest by positioning yourself in the garden or at the villa. During this retreat, a Balinese yoga instructor will guide you through invigorating morning yoga sessions. You will discover techniques to expand your consciousness through posture, breath work, meditation, and relaxation.
On the first day, we will pick you up from the airport and offer you a welcome drink. You can also enjoy a foot welcome massage and indulge in a one-hour Balinese relaxing massage at our spa. In the afternoon, we will serve you tea or coffee along with delicious cake.
On the second day, start your day with a yoga session guided by our instructor. Afterward, enjoy a fulfilling breakfast. You can then pamper yourself with another one-hour Balinese relaxing massage at our spa. In the afternoon, we will serve you tea or coffee along with cake. You will also have some free time to relax and unwind.
On the third day, join our morning yoga session and refuel with a scrumptious breakfast. Finally, it will be time to check out and we will arrange your transfer from the hotel.
In the eighth century, the Javanese Hindu priest Rsi Marhandya came to Bali from Java and meditated at the confluence of the two Wos rivers at Campuan, which is just south of the modern town center where Purana Boutique Resort is located. Dang Hyang Nirartha, the Javanese priest considered to be the founder of Bali’s religious practices, later established and expanded a shrine in that area. It was a hub for natural medicine and healing, which is how the name Ubud originated – ‘ubad’ means medicine in ancient Balinese.
The Gajah Resto package includes daily breakfast, a fresh fruit basket, afternoon tea/coffee served with cake, and mineral water. The Gajah Resto, which symbolizes the elephant’s inner power to protect balance, has an onsite restaurant that can accommodate up to 16 guests on its two floors. The restaurant serves delicious Balinese cuisine and offers stunning views of rice fields, coconut trees, and the breathtaking colors of the sunset. The menu features a mix of traditional Balinese specialties as well as familiar Western and local dishes. Additionally, finger food is provided to enhance your dining experience. Inclusive meals consist of breakfast, snacks, and drinks.
The package offers soothing Balinese massages to help you relax.
You can enjoy a daily yoga class, indulge in spa treatments, and stay for 2 nights at our accommodations. We’ll welcome you with a refreshing drink and a fresh fruit basket. Plus, you’ll have daily access to mineral water and breakfasts. Take some time to relax with tea or coffee and stay connected with our Wi-Fi access.
We offer a half-day tour, a full-day tour, dinner, and lunch.

February 28, 2024 at 12:00 amI had absolutely nothing negative to say because I knew it was a private retreat. If you’re looking for more of a group retreat, this won’t be for you. Mats and blocks are provided, but bring your own if you’re picky. You’ll enjoy private yoga every morning on the rooftop at the immaculate 4-star Purana Suite hotel with the amazing Tini. I love that this retreat supports a Balinese business. Tini will adjust the level of yoga based on your experience. Beginners can expect pranayama, while experienced yogis will focus on strength. The private sessions gave me the adjustments I needed and I felt challenged every day. After yoga, you’ll be pampered by the hotel’s excellent service. This is a solo retreat, but you won’t feel lonely because the staff goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome and get to know you and your journey. I learned a lot about Balinese culture from the staff, making my stay more meaningful. It’s close enough to Ubud center to explore during the day. I definitely feel like I’ve deepened my practice and gained more confidence in my abilities.

February 19, 2024 at 12:00 amI loved seeing the ants out in nature, they have to live somewhere too, right? The staff gave me exceptional treatment and showed me kindness and generosity the whole time. The highlight was definitely the fantastic yoga therapist, Tini. The choices for trips and excursions were great, and the spa treatments were top-notch. It was all just amazing.

January 7, 2024 at 12:00 amI 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 is definitely the top choice in Ubud. There are also other cafes, restaurants, and a club with a large pool area around the hotel, so you can enjoy diverse dining options outside the hotel as well. The property is like a little green paradise and very well-maintained. The hotel offers a shuttle to the city center, which is a big plus for solo travelers like me. Everything was included in the package I booked to get to know the typical Bali, and the yoga session was especially amazing, along with the highly recommended massages. I came back 100% refreshed and would always choose and recommend this hotel. Thank you so much!

December 14, 2023 at 12:00 amI wanted to go on my first solo trip, so I decided to start with a yoga retreat in Ubud. It was a great decision to stay at this hotel. The entire staff was always very attentive and helpful, always with a smile. My teacher, Tini, was more than just a teacher. She helped me connect with my inner self and introduced me to new techniques and postures that I truly enjoyed. I am so grateful to have met her… she is a beautiful person with a very pure energy. Without a doubt, if you’re looking to escape from your hectic life for a little while, this place is perfect.
The driver who took me on the scheduled excursion, Weyan, was a true guide, driver, and a great photographer ;P. He was always ready to capture the moments I asked for 🙂
Having a romantic dinner by myself was quite funny when I think about it hahaha, but still very beautiful and enjoyable.
The included treatments were the best! Who doesn’t love a good massage? 😛
Thanks to the entire staff who was always attentive and helped me relax and connect with myself.
Terima kasih 🙂

November 28, 2023 at 12:00 amEverything was perfect. However, I have a simple suggestion. It’s a shame that the restaurant is located at the reception area 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 teacher, is amazing because she also gives therapeutic massages.
I loved the candlelit dinner. The team puts in all their 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, and for these two, I asked for them to be done directly in their salon at the Purana suites instead of in the room.
And the day spent with August on the excursion was amazing. August is very professional and has a true sense of customer service with good communication in English. He does everything possible to ensure your satisfaction. Thanks to him.

November 21, 2023 at 12:00 amI was completely blown away by the whole experience at Purana Boutique Resort – it definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s really difficult to choose my favorite aspect – whether it’s the amazing accommodations, the refreshing morning yoga classes with Tini right in our villa, the incredible cooking lesson, or the exceptional personal service provided by the entire staff, especially Augus. They truly went above and beyond to make my friend’s birthday unforgettable with all the surprises they organized. It was truly a one-of-a-kind experience. If you’re searching for an incredible getaway in the heart of Bali, I can’t recommend Purana Boutique Resort enough.

September 11, 2023 at 12:00 amI didn’t like the wooden decking in the shower area of my bathroom. The massage was done either in the room or on the balcony. It didn’t have a spa vibe, but I fixed that by playing a spa playlist on my own portable speaker from Spotify.
The construction happening next door was a real downer. It was really noisy one day, but thankfully it was quieter on the other days. The staff at Purana boutique resort are some of the friendliest and nicest people I’ve ever met. They were so welcoming, especially as a single traveler.
I decided to extend my stay by one night and treated myself to an extra session of yoga and massage. Two nights just wasn’t enough for a true “retreat.” It was definitely worth the money. The one-on-one yoga sessions with Tini were amazing. I’ve never had such a good stretch and workout before. Tini worked on me on every level, including therapy. Plus, I got massages every day! What more could I ask for?
Breakfast by the pool, right outside my room, was pure bliss. And there’s a fantastic coffee place just outside the resort.

April 15, 2022 at 12:00 amI didn’t really enjoy the breakfast I paid extra for. They didn’t have many options to choose from and the chef couldn’t even fry an egg properly. On top of that, the food was cold by the time it reached my room because they had to transport it from another location. This caused some inconvenience because I had specific times I wanted to eat due to other bookings, but they delivered it 30-45 minutes late each time.
The yoga at the retreat was quite underwhelming. I understand they had to let go of some staff because of Covid, but they should have hired someone more experienced. Juli, the yoga instructor, was nice but she did the same basic yoga routine every day without considering my personal restrictions due to a back injury. The sequence lacked flow and didn’t feel meditative or relaxing, which is what yoga should be. It felt disjointed and didn’t provide a challenging workout or raise my heart rate at all. It was frustrating when she wanted me to do poses I couldn’t do without offering any alternatives. However, she did help me stretch and gave some good posture corrections. Also, she kindly offered to give massages for my sore areas. I think she just needs more training as a yoga teacher, and the resort should make more effort to create a true retreat experience. There was no music, aromatherapy, incense, or sense of community. The instructor also didn’t give an introduction like other teachers I’ve had, which helps set the intentions for the practice.
On the positive side, the one bedroom pool villa was stunning and cozy. The staff were all friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond to assist guests. The shuttle services were superb.
Helpful ReviewJaana Kuitunen
April 10, 2022 at 12:00 amEvery meal at the villa was served late, which was quite disappointing. The most disappointing incident occurred during our last breakfast, which was delayed by half an hour. What made it worse was that the staff didn’t even bother to apologize. To make matters worse, the breakfast didn’t even include all the items that were supposed to be there. We had to ask for things like milk, and even then, we had to wait for more than 20 minutes to get our drinks. It was also frustrating to find ham on the breakfast menu despite clearly stating that I don’t eat red meat. As if that wasn’t enough, the toast served during breakfast was cold as well.
But the disappointment didn’t end there. During check-out, the receptionist failed to inquire about our stay. As someone working in customer service, it should be a basic courtesy to ask about the guest’s experience.
Despite these issues, I must admit that the villa itself was awesome. It had a private pool, a nice big room, and a very comfortable bed. The cleanliness was acceptable, although there were some areas that could have been better. On a positive note, the staff was kind and very friendly. The highlight of our stay was the amazing yoga sessions. The yoga instructor was truly professional and made the experience enjoyable.

January 11, 2019 at 12:00 amWe absolutely loved every detail of our stay at Purana. We couldn’t find a single fault! Our honeymoon celebration was truly amazing. The staff went above and beyond to make our time unforgettable. Right from the airport pick-up, Arya and the whole team made us feel so welcomed, like we were among friends. Purana is such a charming and peaceful place. It felt like we had the entire resort to ourselves. They even served all our meals, tea, and massages right to our room. We had private yoga sessions in quiet spots where no one bothered us. Arya made sure we saw all the sites we wanted to visit and even suggested some fun options we hadn’t thought of. If we mentioned we liked coffee, he took us to a coffee plantation. And whenever we admired a beautiful butterfly, he brought us to a butterfly observatory. We can’t thank you enough for all the effort you put in! Arya and the Purana family, thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t wait to visit again soon.

August, our butler, couldn’t have done a better job. I wish I could have him working for me! Doing yoga every day next to our private pool was really motivating, and having breakfast delivered right after was such a special treat. We’re already planning a longer stay.

January 24, 2018 at 12:00 amI just want to mention that some of the room service food wasn’t very good. The duck spring rolls and calamari rings didn’t taste fresh at all. However, the Crispy Duck made up for it and was absolutely delicious!
I had a candlelight dinner included in my package and I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, it was raining that night, so they couldn’t set up the pool with petals like I was expecting. I was a bit disappointed, but I understood the situation. The dinner itself wasn’t exactly to my taste either.
But let me tell you about the best parts of my stay at Purana. First, the villa was stunning, with its own private pool. Plus, having my bath and shower outside was such a unique experience. I do have to mention, though, that if bugs and critters freak you out, you might want to think twice about staying in Ubud, as it’s a tropical location and you’ll definitely encounter them.
I had never tried yoga before, but my instructor was so patient and made me feel really comfortable. It was a great introduction to the practice.
Breakfast was served in my villa every morning, and it was honestly the best part. The menu had so many options to choose from, and it was such a treat. One day, I even had a “floating breakfast,” which was so lovely.
I also went on a private excursion around the North of Ubud. It cost me 600,000 IDR for a half-day trip to see temples, the view of Mount Batung, the Tegalalang Rice Terrace, and the Monkey Forest. My butler, Adi, accompanied me and provided some interesting historical information at each location. They have a variety of excursions available and are even willing to tailor them to your preferences.
Overall, I would definitely recommend staying at Purana. It’s a beautiful resort with top-notch customer service.
