Relieve anxiety and depression on a week-long retreat in Ubud, Bali, transforming your mindset and finding inner peace.

There should be a yoga class on the day of arrival and on the day of departure. I didn’t enjoy Alex’s yoga class but that’s just my personal opinion. I loved the pace of the activities offered, the meals, and the location. I really enjoyed Paby’s yoga classes and Ariel’s sense of humor.

The FireFly retreat surpassed my expectations. When you arrive there, you feel like you’re entering a bubble of peace, where the silence and the sounds of the animals in the area do their thing. It’s truly a space where you can go to disconnect and reflect. There are several teachers, and the most interesting part is that each class is different, so you can experience different types of yoga. Everything is very well thought out down to the smallest detail. The staff is lovely, always willing and smiling. The meals they prepare are on another level: one delicious dish after another, plentiful, fresh, healthy, and VERY tasty. Ariel is amazing, he knows a lot about Bali and all the workshops they offer. It’s a retreat that allows you to experience the essence of Bali, without luxury or extravagance, in the middle of nature, inviting you to connect and appreciate the beauty in the small things. I already miss it, I will definitely repeat. Thank you.

This retreat amazed me! The healthy food, organized schedule with excursions, cooking classes, and yoga sessions exceeded my expectations. I loved trying different styles and all the instructors were fantastic. I highly recommend this retreat.

I had to navigate up a big hill in my power wheelchair, but the wheels were locked and it was extremely difficult to reach the top. The hill was paved, but it was incredibly steep, and I ended up getting stuck at the resort because of it. Thankfully, some kind people came to my aid and helped push me up the hill to prevent sliding. Biking on the rice terraces wasn’t a feasible option since the trails were narrow and there were large ravines. On the bright side, the food was absolutely amazing, the yoga fellowship was great, and the instructors were wonderful. The resort also had a nice pool to enjoy. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, thanks to the helpful people and all the wonderful activities available.

Everyone

There’s nothing to complain about, so just enjoy your retreat! If you’re looking for a retreat that fulfills all your needs, this place is it. You’ll have an amazing time. Ariel isn’t just the owner, he also runs a restaurant called Wild Vegan where you’ll get to enjoy delicious à la carte lunch and dinner. It’s so yummy. Even if the retreat is fully booked, make sure to try his food anyway hahah. The retreat rooms are clean and bright, with comfy beds and a great view of the ricefields. Don’t miss out on a swim in the beautiful pool between yoga sessions and the many activities Ariel offers. In yoga, we practiced hatha, vinyasa, and a lot of yin with three different yoga teachers. Overall, it was the best week I’ve had in Ubud. I would definitely recommend it.

I liked everything about this retreat. It was my first time at a yoga retreat, and I have to say, my expectations were surpassed. The location was incredible – so peaceful and cozy. The yoga studio had a breathtaking view of palm trees. Starting each day with a yoga practice was absolutely fantastic. I really enjoyed being introduced to various yoga styles. The food was delicious, and the service we received was top-notch.

I’m leaving! This place, nestled among rice fields, is like a little paradise. I had an amazing time here and met the most delightful and fascinating people. One of the yoga instructors, Paby, stood out- she was absolutely passionate about what she does and offered a wide range of options for all skill levels. We also had other teachers who introduced us to different methods. The activities, like chocolate making, herbal walks, and cooking, were really interesting. The accommodations are simple, just as they advertised, but perfectly fine. And guess what? They even have a pool, which is a nice touch! Let me tell you, Ariel, the owner, is one interesting man and the staff in general were incredibly helpful and friendly.

I had an absolutely wonderful time! We had so much fun doing the activities and learned a lot about Balinese culture. The yoga classes were also really good, and let’s not even get started on the amazing food! Ariel and the staff were super nice too. The location is quiet and the facilities were kept clean.

Let’s explore the world of yoga and herbal medicine together on an amazing tour! Immerse yourself in traditional culture while connecting with like-minded individuals.

Hey there! Pabie, the awesome food and yoga teacher, teaches all things good. They know all about making delicious chocolate and invigorating Jamu. On top of that, they even plan exciting excursions. So, if you’re looking for a fun and tasty experience, Pabie is the one to go to!

The yoga retreat offers great value for money. The location is splendidly peaceful and beautiful. The food is both healthy and delicious, and Ariel ensures the activities are fun and exceptionally well-planned. I’m absolutely going to return for another retreat!

It was pretty difficult to find the location, especially for drivers getting back to the retreat. We had a fill-in yoga teacher who, in my experience, didn’t seem to be a qualified yoga instructor. They did some positions that could have caused injuries and didn’t speak English. However, the other yoga instructors were amazing. Ariel, the owner, definitely came across as a businessman and sometimes felt like he was mansplaining to women. I also noticed that he seemed a little rude to the other staff. But, he was still a nice and interesting guy when these issues weren’t brought up.
Although I enjoyed the extra activities, I would have loved to have more yoga and spirituality-focused programs, where I could learn more about yoga-related things. It seemed more like a tourism-focused yoga retreat, and the activities were maybe too spaced out, so we didn’t have much time to explore the town or have a lot of free time. The facilities were great, but it would have been nice to have a chill-out area where people could relax, hang out, or read a book. Also, more chairs around the pool area would have been appreciated.
The location itself was great, surrounded by rice fields and away from the hustle, but not too far from the city center. The kitchen staff and most yoga instructors were really good (Special shout out to Enny in the kitchen). The food was fantastic, and I felt healthier after leaving the retreat. The cultural day was a nice surprise, and I enjoyed the extra activities. Overall, I had a lovely and relaxing week and met some amazing people at this retreat.

During the whole week, the bathroom remained wet. Whenever you took a shower, a big pool would form in the middle and it wouldn’t dry at all. The food, the staff, and the place is situated right in the middle of the rice fields.

Instructors at the yoga class don’t have a choice when it comes to breakfast. They only get eggs.

The retreat was amazing! I love how you can come with a group and leave with the same people. They organize the day well and give you plenty of time to do your own thing or socialize. Ariel is such a fascinating and calm person, and their dry sense of humor is really enjoyable. You’re absolutely going to like it!

I treated myself to a yoga retreat after working intensely for 2 years. I was seeking peace and silence, but I gained so much more. They had a carefully planned program for the week, with yoga sessions every morning at sunrise and every evening at sunset. My back felt amazing. The yoga instructor, Pepi (I might have spelled it wrong), had a huge impact on my journey.

The owner of the place, Ariel, was always there. He offered classes on everything from making chocolate to trying local foods, giving us a taste of his way of experiencing Bali. It was all so enjoyable.

The day trip to the family temple is something I’ll never forget. We learned about Hinduism, planted rice in their fields, watched the locals prepare food, and even enjoyed some dancing and music. It was a lovely experience.

I have to mention the incredible staff at FireFly. They took care of us throughout our stay, and their kindness left me feeling emotional when it was time to leave. A special shout-out to Aisha, Agung, and everyone in the kitchen.

I came hoping to feel relaxed, and I did, but I got so much more. I met amazing people from all over the world and had life-changing conversations and experiences that will stay with me forever. It’s worth more than the price, and I hope future customers appreciate the special spirit that Ariel, the staff, and the teachers have created there. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

We had a perfect balance of exploring Bali’s culture, making friends, and practicing yoga! The accommodation was absolutely beautiful, the pool was an awesome hangout spot, and the food was delicious. The staff were so lovely and caring. I had a great group of people to hang out with, and we got to know each other really quickly because we spent so much time together!

Ariel, our host, did an amazing job incorporating his professional skills into the chocolate workshop and herbal tour. It was such a cool experience! Paby, one of the yoga instructors, was the sweetest person ever and taught the best yin, yinyang, and vinyasa classes. They were absolutely incredible!

Ubud itself is such a charming little town, and it’s right by the monkey forest. The retreat organized a shuttle for us on our free day, so we could explore both. I highly recommend checking out the Pyramids of Chi too – they’re only a 15-minute walk from the retreat and definitely worth it!

Ariel and her team were fantastic; they were hugely knowledgeable and a joy to be around. We had an amazing group of people who all got along well. The village excursion was top-notch – we had a blast at the cooking class, chocolate making session, and herbal tea tasting. I thought I was just here for the yoga, but ended up getting so much more out of it! Thanks, Ariel and team – you guys rock!

I sometimes noticed a trail of ants on the yoga mat, which was distracting. But when you’re in the middle of tropical nature, you can expect bugs, ants, and mosquitoes. So, make sure to bring insect repellent.

I absolutely loved waking up to the beautiful view of the rice padi fields right by the pool. Ariel and the staff were warm and friendly, and every meal was delicious!

The variety of yoga sessions was just right, not too difficult, and the Thursday morning meditation and sound healing session was amazing!

Everyone in the group was open and friendly, and Ariel’s story is incredibly moving and inspiring. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with such a lovely group.

Everything is magical at that place, right in the middle of rice fields. The staff is very kind and keeps everything clean. My group really made me feel at home. They offer various types of yoga so you can learn a lot. I hadn’t practiced in a long time before the retreat but the instructors will correct your postures. Ariel is such a nice guy, but don’t take him too seriously . I give it 5 stars because there just aren’t more.

Let’s focus more on yoga/meditation and cut back on activities. Thanks for this great experience, I really enjoyed it. The food was amazing, the people were wonderful, I highly recommend it!

Maybe just make the tempeh steak bigger, lol. The activities, food, and atmosphere are great!

The menu offers vegan and vegetarian options. It’s animal friendly and located near the forest and local rice fields. You’ll enjoy the tranquility away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. Nature lovers will definitely appreciate it!

The participants and staff had so much energy. I met so many amazing people who are now my friends.

¡Todo ha sido una experiencia entrañable e inolvidable! El lugar, su personal, los huéspedes, la comida, la ubicación. Es un espacio maravilloso para potenciar el bienestar y la armonía a través del yoga, la conexión con la naturaleza y las relaciones humanas. Gracias, vamos a volver y lo vamos a recomendar.

I absolutely adore everything about the retreat! The serene environment with a view of rice paddy fields and participants waking up to a beautiful sunrise was just perfect. The vegan meals, prepared fresh upon request, were not only tasty but also healthy. The yoga classes, ranging from basic to intermediate levels, were enjoyable and taught by a variety of instructors from different backgrounds. We got to experience the Bali culture through excursions organized by the center, where we learned about traditional dishes and herbal remedies. It was a great opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, some of whom have become close friends. Overall, the experience was amazing! Huge thanks to Ariel for planning and organizing such a fulfilling retreat!

This location is so beautiful and serene. The food is amazing and you can’t beat the great value too.

This place is excellent. The location is beyond beautiful: nestled in the middle of the rice fields with the river and jungle on the side of the eating area and yoga shala. The staff is wonderful. They all radiate positive energy…The food is delicious, healthy, fresh and plentiful. The activities are on point and a fun way to get a Balinese insight! It’s definitely the best experience in Ubud for sure!

Don’t worry about the small insects – it’s all part of being in nature. Ariel and the team at the retreat are kind, welcoming, and attentive. The location sits between the jungle and the rice fields. The yoga classes and cultural activities are top-notch. The rooms and the swimming pool are great. I suggest getting a room with air conditioning. The food is delicious. We come here to relax, reconnect with nature, and detox our bodies, rather than for spiritual reasons. I highly recommend this place and hope to return one day with a big smile on my face!

The bathroom should have had more privacy and separation from the room. Overall, the place is chill with great service and atmosphere. There are some very nice activities and programs, along with enough free time to spend on our own. It’s perfect!

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed everything. The place feels like heaven with its beautiful, serene nature. The food was delicious, the staff was helpful and kind, and the classes were fantastic. I wish I could spend more time here.

Ariel, the best owner and organizer, really made my week there unforgettable. Thanks to her excellent organization skills, I gained more experience than I ever expected. Ariel’s great communication skills helped our group become fast friends on the first day of the retreat. Big thanks to all the staff for their smiles, help, friendliness, and amazing food throughout the week. I’ll definitely be back next year and would recommend this place to anyone. Bravo to Ariel for running such an incredible retreat center. Thanks again and see you next year!

Everything exceeded our expectations, from the rooms to our beautiful shared home, the amazing food, and carefully selected activities. The food is restaurant-grade, with generously sized portions that kept me satisfied throughout the day. The location is perfect – quiet, surrounded by rice fields and locals, yet close enough to the city center for those who want to explore Ubud.

Our main host, Ariel, is a gem. He is funny and wise, without giving off a “know-it-all” guru vibe. The atmosphere was always joyful, and we all became close during our time there. Whether traveling alone or with someone, you will not be disappointed.

A special thanks to Ariel, Beppi (whose name I may have mispronounced but couldn’t find on the teacher list – she was excellent), Raldo, Agun, and the rest of the staff. Thank you for everything.

1/ The location was perfect – not too far from town, easy to grab a Gojek, and just secluded enough to escape the city hustle and bustle. It was exactly what I was looking for.

2/ The rooms were just right for a week’s stay, with the best part being the view of the paddy fields – it was so serene.

3/ Ariel and his staff were incredibly courteous and a joy to be around. They never hesitated to fulfill our requests and always had a smile on their faces, making the retreat so enjoyable.

4/ The yoga instructors were fantastic, leading classes at a comfortable pace and offering options for all levels of flexibility. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, you’ll enjoy the classes here.

5/ The retreat schedule was perfectly balanced with plenty of breaks between activities, allowing for a relaxing experience.

6/ The food was incredible – healthy and delicious. I can’t emphasize enough how much I enjoyed it.

I absolutely loved my time here and will definitely recommend this retreat to others. It’s truly a great value for the experience.

I wish I could have done yoga twice a day every day at this amazing yoga retreat. The yoga teachers were top-notch, the food for vegetarians and vegans was delicious, and the views were beautiful. Ariel and his team were so generous and made the stay unforgettable. The cultural excursion, garden tour, and classes were all awesome additions to the program. I feel like I’ve improved as a yogi and learned so much about Balinese culture. I highly recommend this retreat!

There’s still some work to be done on the cleaning of the rooms, but it didn’t really bother us. It was all about the inner feeling, not the external circumstances . The atmosphere was relaxed, making us feel as comfortable as being with family. The yoga sessions were great and varied .

I was the only participant in this online course. Ariel and Aldo were incredibly welcoming and friendly. They gave excellent and varied yoga lessons that were well explained. In the cooking lessons, Ariel took the time to explain each property of the food and we made some delicious dishes. They mentioned they will be stopping the online course due to the low number of participants, which I think is such a shame because it was incredible value. It brought a little Balinese sunshine and exoticism into my lockdown days. This non-profit organization uses the money made to help the local community. Thank you both for this great experience!

I thought this new experience was really good. Even though it was online due to the Corona Virus lockdown, I enjoyed the mix of Yoga with Raldo. He’s an excellent teacher and I learnt a lot. I also found the cooking with Ariel very interesting with easy-to-follow tasty recipes.

We hebben op late leeftijd onze eerste ervaring met yoga gehad. Alles overtrof onze verwachtingen, van de yogalessen en kookcursussen tot de massages en excursies. De locatie was ook geweldig. Het voelde als een vakantie in onze vakantie.

I loved everything about it. Some of the more advanced yogis may want more challenging classes, but as a beginner myself, I found it perfect for my level. The location of the retreat was amazing. It was surrounded by rice fields and farms, so peaceful and beautiful. It was tucked away, but still just a 15-minute drive to the center of Ubud for restaurants and shopping. The food was delicious, with a variety of vegetarian dishes to choose from. All the staff were incredibly kind and helpful. The yoga teachers were fantastic, especially for someone like me who was new to yoga. The Ubud day trip was a highlight – we visited a primary school, a temple, and tried traditional food. The cooking classes were also fantastic – learning how to make jackfruit curry and chocolate was a real treat!

Eet kleine porties. De yogalessen zijn van hoge kwaliteit, de locatie is prachtig, de bedden zijn comfortabel, het personeel is vriendelijk en de gastheer heeft een droge humor en weet alles, leuke workshops en fantastische excursies. Je krijgt waar voor je geld!

I found the yoga a bit difficult. We had several different instructors during my week there and I didn’t receive much help with my practice. It’s definitely not ideal for beginners. I was also a bit disappointed by the lack of healthy food options. However, I did enjoy my room and all the extra activities that Ariel organized. Plus, I love that it’s a not-for-profit business and part of my money goes towards supporting education for underprivileged children.

The peaceful surroundings are attractive, the location is good, the staff is friendly, and the yoga sessions are well organised.

I suggest putting mosquito nets in the fan rooms. The people who served us at the resort were the best — they were 100% helpful, kind, and gave us all the support we needed.

The retreat’s location, program, massages, workshops, and the simplicity of managing it were all wonderful. I enjoyed everything about it. The food was delicious and the staff were nice and polite. The location near the jungle and rice fields is simply amazing. Thank you for everything, and I hope you have lots of nice groups on the Yoga retreat.

The shower has low power, but don’t worry about insects and mosquitos in your room I had a great time at Firefly resort during my yoga retreat. The place is gorgeous, nestled in the rice fields, so tranquil. I loved the yoga classes, held twice a day by two different teachers. The owner is friendly and fascinating, as well as the staff 🙂 Thanks Ariel!

I found the intense yoga classes lacking, but the beginner classes were great. The atmosphere and the people I met were amazing. Ariel, the host, was so entertaining, helpful, and funny! I really enjoyed the Bali experience and the included massage. It was a fantastic week that I’ll never forget.

I spent a delightful week living a simple life, disconnecting from the usual hustle and bustle, and immersing myself in nature. This place is perfect for unwinding, rejuvenating the body, clearing the mind, and nourishing the soul. The yoga classes showed me just how capable my body is when I believe in myself. The pool and restaurant were absolute gems, where we indulged in delicious food and drinks, mingled with people from all corners of the globe, shared stories and experiences, made new friends, and grew together. The atmosphere here is truly special, thanks to the caring and welcoming staff – a big shoutout to you all for an incredible experience!

The retreat is nestled in the stunning rice fields of Ubud, allowing you to disconnect from the chaos of the city. You’ll forge a unique connection with fellow retreat attendees, making it one of the best things you can do for yourself.

The bugs were annoying but I loved the breakfast! The food tasted really good and they gave us fresh coconut every day.

Cloudy evenings prevented us from experiencing the journey of the cosmos, which was unfortunate but obviously out of our hands as it was just too cloudy. Jamie, the yoga teacher, is an amazing person and teacher. We learned so much and had a great time with him and the other guests. The service was great and the food was really nice. The location is beautiful and within walking distance of Ubud. Don’t miss the beautiful walk to town on the other side of the river!

I highly recommend Arial, the owner. He was both funny and generous. All you girls and Jaime, the Aussie ex gridiron yogi disciplinarian, should definitely meet him. Apologies from an old dude who had a great time. The group was amazing, made up of people from all nationalities, including two Canucks who I’ll be seeing again soon.

I fell in love with this place the moment I arrived. The serene location on the rice fields and jungle was amazing. My room, with its own downstairs lounge area and fridge, was comfortable and spacious. I chose the air con private single room. I woke up to beautiful sunrises every day and enjoyed practicing yoga on the edge of the jungle, surrounded by the sounds of nature. Our yoga teacher, Jaimie, was one of the best I’ve had. His friendly attitude and varied teaching made the classes interesting and fun. The food here exceeded all my expectations. The locally sourced produce was delicious (the tempeh steak was incredible!). The retreat offered a range of superb activities, from the Bali experience trip to chocolate making. The ambiance and pool area were so relaxing, perfect for resetting and recharging. Ubud town centre was only a 30-minute walk or a 5-minute taxi ride away. The Pyramids of Chi were just a 15-minute walk away and definitely worth a visit! The staff were friendly and helpful, and the included massage was fantastic! I wish I were still there and will definitely be returning. Thank you for everything. Namaste!

I loved the food, the green nature around the place, the swimming pool. And of course, I loved our yoga teacher and doing yoga in the sunset!

There is nothing at all.

I really dislike that there isn’t a hook or place to put my towel in the shower, but other than that, I love everything about the place! The facilities, the food, the activities like yoga class, and the people are all amazing. I had a fantastic week at Firefly Resort. It’s such a lovely place!

The wooden bungalow had some standard features and a few faults, but honestly, I expected that in Bali for this price range. It didn’t bother me at all. Let me tell you, everything was amazing! The yoga classes catered to all levels, and we even got to try acro yoga. The cultural program was incredibly fun – we did something new every day, not just the usual stuff. The food was delicious, the pool was great, and the staff were really friendly. Ariel, the owner, is a genuine person who truly cares about giving everyone a wonderful experience. This was one of the best experiences I’ve had in all my travels in South East Asia. I absolutely loved it! Thank you so much, Ariel and team!

Probablemente lo único que no fue como esperaba fueron los instructores de yoga. Esperaba tener uno o dos instructores que siguieran mi progreso y con los que pudiera profundizar en la práctica. Pero en este caso, el instructor principal del retiro estaba de vacaciones y tuvimos varios profesores suplentes que nos dieron clase, algunos más experimentados que otros. Entiendo que fue algo circunstancial que coincidió con la semana de agosto que elegí para el retiro. Como sugerencia de mejora, creo que sería mejor programar las actividades del segundo día (martes) para el jueves o viernes, ya que no hay clases de yoga ese día y el cuerpo necesita descanso unos días más tarde. Por lo demás, todo fue genial. Definitivamente lo recomendaría. La experiencia fue fantástica y totalmente recomendable. Lo mejor fue el grupo, las personas que conoces y con las que compartes una semana llena de experiencias que te llenan el alma de buenas vibraciones. El lugar donde se encuentra Fairplay es simplemente maravilloso, en medio de campos de arroz con unas vistas espectaculares y una calma y silencio difíciles de describir. Las habitaciones son muy cómodas, la comida deliciosa y Ariel, el dueño y fundador del lugar, es amigable, cercano y te da la mejor bienvenida para que te sientas como en casa desde el principio, junto con el resto del equipo. Unas vacaciones de bienestar maravillosas en Ubud.

I liked everything about it. The setting was great, the staff was so friendly, I enjoyed all the teaching sessions, the food was delicious, and the other guests were wonderful. Even the bathroom window provided some entertainment. The day trip they organized was full of interesting experiences and information.

So far, I haven’t had any issues, everything’s good for me. He motivated us during the engagement.

The room wasn’t the cleanest, but hey, it’s Bali and it’s not what we’re used to in the West. Reading a helpful article before my trip really prepared me for the laid-back vibes of Bali. Our apartment/villa had peaceful views of village life. The staff was warm, kind, friendly, and incredibly humble. The pool even had Spring water, making you feel like you’re right in the middle of the rice and corn fields.

Es una lástima que no hayamos tenido al profesor residente de yoga porque estaba de vacaciones y tuvimos demasiados sustitutos a cambio. El retiro fue genial, conectamos mucho con el grupo, hicimos muchas actividades y tuvimos tiempo para todo. El personal del centro es increíblemente amable. Definitivamente lo haría de nuevo.

We do daily yoga, swim in the pool, have coconut every day, and cook together.

“I’m Canadian living in Malaysia and everything is nothing.”

The owners no longer have a passion for this place, so the rooms are dirty and the facilities remain broken. The service level is poor, making it more of a budget-friendly retreat than a luxury one. However, if you’re okay with that, you’ll still have a great week. The teachers were great and I had an amazing group of yogis to enjoy the retreat with. The activities during the week were also really nice. Overall, if you’re in search of a budget-friendly yoga retreat, this is a solid option.

The regular yoga instructor was on vacation, so the week felt chaotic. You never knew which instructor you would have, making it difficult to focus on improving your technique. The program we were given didn’t really stick to the yoga classes as promised. It was sometimes a different type of yoga and the classes never lasted 1.5 hours as advertised. It was a bit disappointing. The accommodation is located in the rice fields, a peaceful spot away from the hustle and bustle of Ubud. The activities offered were enjoyable! The owner was always available for any concerns.

We have to leave! The yoga retreat is set in the paddy fields, a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of central Ubud.

I absolutely loved this place! Not only was the yoga top-notch, but the activities organized were fantastic. The food was delicious, the staff was super friendly, and Ariel, who manages the place, was awesome. It’s a simple retreat with basic rooms and facilities, but that’s what made it charming. It’s located outside of Ubud, so it’s peaceful and relaxing. You might need to take a taxi to get there, but you won’t want to leave too often. There are plenty of activities to keep you busy and the relaxation is just too good to resist. Plus, the pool overlooks the beautiful rice fields! It’s a bit challenging to find, but just keep following the road straight to the end. Trust me, it’s worth the effort. This retreat was the best part of my Bali trip, with top-notch yoga classes led by incredible instructors. I highly, highly recommend it.

I loved the comfy bed, delicious and healthy food, and lovely yoga. My muscles felt so relaxed afterward. The location is beautiful and peaceful. The owner of the resort is a very friendly guy who is easy to talk to and quite funny. The staff are incredible, very kind, and go above and beyond to help you out. I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this place. 10/10!

We had a really nice and personal retreat. The food blew us away, and the yoga classes were top-notch! =)

Maybe they could improve the food. I loved the yoga retreat – especially the classes and other experiences like the cooking class and day out. People were really nice!

La chambre pourrait être plus accueillante avec des petits efforts de propreté, mais l’équipe attentionnée de Firefly est aux petits soins. Merci encore à Ariel, Agun et Jamie. Le cadre est magnifique et les activités prévues sont tout à fait pertinentes. Un grand merci à notre groupe qui est devenu une famille ! N’hésitez pas à réserver votre semaine de yoga à Firefly.

The stairs to the top floor of the wooden villa felt really steep, making it a challenge to lug up all our luggage. But once everything was up there, it felt like we were in a rustic treehouse with a view overlooking the jungle. They said it had air conditioning, but all we found was a ceiling fan – not a big deal for me, but I could imagine it getting pretty toasty up there during the dry season! The resort’s location in the jungle and rice fields was amazing, like entering a whole new world. The view from the yoga shala into the jungle was truly special. Our group got along great and our instructor was full of passion, tailoring classes to our energy. The food was mouth-watering, and the breakfast smoothie bowl bar was the highlight of my mornings, motivating me to get up for those 7am yoga sessions.

You can’t access the resort directly. But they offer amazing food, yoga classes, and lots of activities for you to enjoy.

They didn’t tell us about the missing activities (no school visit and no firefly watching).
Some rooms were really run down (one person had to leave…).
Ubud is a risky 1-hour walk away on a dangerous road for pedestrians.
They offer outdoor yoga classes.
The pool.
The tranquility.
The variety of activities.
The low price.
Meals included. Very good breakfast.
One coconut per day and drinks all day.

My room really let me down. It didn’t have air conditioning, and it was overrun with mice, mosquitos, biting flies, and other critters… I guess it was worth the price, but everyone else got way better rooms than me. The yoga classes were awesome. Jaime is an amazing teacher, and I learned so much from him.

My room may have been a bit bare bones, but it worked for the price. The bathroom was surprisingly nice, although I do wish I had gotten a room with a kitchen. Lesson learned for next time! I’ll definitely be booking room 1 for that kitchen. Despite the lack of kitchen, the room was comfortable and I slept well every night. I absolutely adored everything about Firefly! The location was breathtaking, surrounded by rice paddies and jungle. The moment I arrived, I felt at peace in this beautiful place.

The location, the food (I still dream about the insane breakfast), and the activities, including yoga, are all amazing. I had Jaime as my yoga teacher and I truly grew during this week. The activities to get to know the beautiful island of Bali are great, but the best part was meeting and connecting with the amazing people there.

The cleaning could be better at the retreat, but the atmosphere is really nice. The people who go there are simple and calm. The staff at the retreat always are willing to help.

I had to leave everyone on Sunday, but my whole experience at Firefly was amazing. Ariel, who owns and runs the resort, was a super friendly and helpful host who made my stay a blast. The extra activities he organized were also so much fun.

Jamie, our main yoga instructor, was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive to the group’s needs. He was a fantastic guy, and all of his yoga sessions were invigorating and enjoyable. Thanks to him, I discovered a newfound love for Yin yoga.

Las Vegas Lily, who assisted Jamie and led some yoga sessions, added great variety to our practice and was a wonderful presence. But the best part of it all was the incredible group of people I got to spend the week with. They came from all over the world and made the experience truly special.

This was my first yoga retreat, and it completely exceeded my expectations.

I wish there were more vegetables with the main meals. Can we have a designated smokers area that’s not by the pool? I could use an extra towel in the bathroom. This retreat really blew me away. The yoga instructors were amazing and each day built on the next. We did exercises that helped us connect with each other, observe our minds, and let go of emotions. It was a truly transformative experience. The week went by so fast and the place felt like home, with the other participants feeling like family.

Huge thanks to Ariel for creating this incredible space and to Jamie, Lily, and Lily for guiding us in our practice. The staff were so kind and helpful. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a beautiful experience in the rice fields and jungle of Ubud. And the best part? It’s great value for the money.

Everything was done from the beginning to the end.

I’m loving my time at this unique and special location, surrounded by rice fields and jungle vibes. You can actually spot fireflies at night! It’s just a small group of us here, experiencing so much zen. The Balinese tour, cooking class, and yoga sessions were all perfectly planned out. Thank you, Ariel, for making this place in the universe so amazing!

I loved everything about it. The place sits right in the middle of the rice fields, far from the bustling crowds of tourists in Ubud. The classes cater to all levels of yoga, the food is fresh and tasty, and the program even lets you mingle with the locals and try out their dishes. The rooms are amazing, with breathtaking views, a pool to chill in after class, and the price is really worth it. I met some incredible people and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had.

I didn’t really enjoy the “Balinese experience” because it felt like just a typical touristy tour with a bunch of other tourists. We visited a school, a village, and did some traditional cooking, but it all felt a bit awkward to me, especially when we were crammed into a classroom with Balinese kids singing for us while surrounded by 20 or 30 other Westerners. But hey, that’s just my personal preference.

The yoga instructor was absolutely amazing. We didn’t just do yoga, but we really connected with each other on a deeper level and delved into various aspects of yoga, at least as much as we could in the short time we had.

The food was delicious, and I loved that the resort was located a bit outside of Ubud, giving us the chance to take daily walks through the rice paddies.

The daily yoga sessions were fantastic, and I was impressed by how the teacher managed to challenge everyone, despite their different skill levels.

The ceremonies were truly special and will always hold a special place in my heart.

We had an amazing and magical week at Firefly Resort! Ariel made sure we had a fantastic time, bonding as a team and learning so much about yoga, meditation, and ourselves. Jamie, our incredible yoga instructor, was very supportive, especially with beginners like me. The food was also delicious! I’m so glad I chose to come to Firefly Resort. Thanks to everyone for making this week so special!

Perhaps we should do some more maintenance around the pool because it can get slippery when wet. This yoga retreat exceeded my expectations! The location in the rice fields is peaceful and beautiful, though it can be a bit tricky to find. Don’t worry though, Ariel will always help you with directions. The food is incredibly tasty, especially the breakfast buffet! They always have water, tea, and coffee available. But the best part was the yoga classes and the additional experiences organized by the retreat. We got to participate in a Balinese cooking class, offering class, and even took a walk in the rice fields. The yoga classes with Jaime were absolutely perfect. He is an amazing teacher who puts his heart into each class, teaching us not just poses but also mantras and more.

I absolutely loved my time here! I can’t complain about a single thing. The yoga sessions with Jamie were fantastic, my room was always clean, and the view overlooking the rice fields was simply amazing. I loved all the vegetarian food and was grateful for the vegan options. The location is perfect – it’s a bit of a walk to the city (about 40 minutes), but it’s so quiet and peaceful here. I often caught rides on scooters when I needed to go into town. The people in Ubud are incredibly kind, as are the hosts. Celebrating my 30th birthday here was the best decision I ever made. Ubud will always hold a special place in my heart. I would highly recommend this yoga retreat!

I love how the resort feels like a secret magical place. The peacefulness and the dancing fireflies at night over the quiet ricefield are just amazing. Every activity here is so exciting and full of life and meaning. Our host Ariel is a very funny, humble, kind, and smart man who loves stars and science. He makes sure all the guests feel at ease and at home, and he even teaches us a lot about Balinese culture. Our yoga instructor Jaime is so dedicated and passionate, and he shares that passion with us during our practice. As a beginner, it’s perfect for me because I’ve learned so much and feel like I have a strong foundation to start my own practice. The staff here are all amazing and every day is a chance to learn something new. I’m sure all the other guests feel the same. Two thumbs up for my experience! 🙂

I recommend this place to everyone looking to connect their body and soul. The energy here is incredible – the staff, the food, the rooms, the yoga teacher, the manager, the yoga, the activities – everything was perfect. I had an amazing time and I’ll definitely come back.

At times, cleanliness was an issue but that’s typical for a place tucked between the jungle and rice terraces. Throughout the week, I had many amazing experiences. I adored how the resort is intertwined with nature and Balinese culture. The accommodations and food are basic but delightful. Getting to the location is a bit tough, but the tranquility and relaxation make it worthwhile. The yoga sessions combined different styles and levels, along with a spiritual touch. The range of activities was diverse and captivating. I can’t wait to come back soon!

The menu is a bit limited but still manageable to try different dishes and find your favorites for the week. There’s nothing to complain about – great value for money and a truly special experience. I highly recommend it!

The program went exactly as planned and all the activities were well-thought-out and enjoyable. The same instructor taught all the yoga classes, which allowed for a good connection to be made. There was a nice variety of yoga sessions, yet still enough consistency for practice.

Each day, there was a menu to choose lunch and dinner from, which was a nice option to have. Breakfast was buffet-style with fruit, pancakes, granola, and a smoothie bowl. Don’t miss out on the delicious fresh coconuts – you can have one every day, along with unlimited herbal tea and coffee.

I decided to go for a private room, which turned out to be a two-story villa with a fridge, living area, bathroom with toilet and shower, and bedroom with air conditioning. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the property, though small, had a cozy and refreshing vibe. The property was much prettier than what was shown in the pictures – a pleasant surprise!

Breakfast always bored me with the same options. Ariel, the owner, refused to give me milk for my coffee even after I asked. Choosing only one item from the menu for lunch and dinner didn’t make sense, especially when some items were more expensive or smaller than others. It would have been better to have more than one teacher for the week-long retreat. The location in the rice fields was beautiful. Jamie, the Australian yoga teacher, was nice and talented, but having more than one teacher would have been better. The cultural program, including the bicycle ride and cooking lessons, was lovely as always.

I thought the food was good, but it needed more herbs, spices, and veggies. Other than that, I didn’t have anything to complain about. They took great care of everything during my stay. The schedule for the week was fantastic, with yoga in the morning and evening with Jamie, a really knowledgeable teacher. I feel like I learned more in this week than I did in two years of practice at a yoga studio. We tried different types of yoga like flow, Hatha, and Vinyasa. We even talked about chakras, did mantra chanting, and focused on breathing. Besides yoga, we went on an amazing bike ride with Koko, learned cooking from Ariel, and explored coffee and tea with Koko. Every person was so friendly, and when I had trouble with the internet, Ariel was there to help. The room was super cozy, and the location was stunning! And let’s not forget about the awesome breakfast. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the whole team for showing us the real Bali, its traditions, and way of life. Thank you for welcoming us into your homes.

My daughter wasn’t feeling well, so we skipped our planned lunch in Ubud and arrived early. Our driver called the resort to meet us and show us the way, but be ready to carry your luggage on a pathway not meant for wheelie bags! When we arrived, someone who didn’t speak to us carried one of our bags and checked us in looking frustrated. Later on, I found out it was the owner. We waited in the dining area. The rooms were okay, but my shower was only 4ft from the floor! The yoga classes were not for beginners, as the instructor was only staying for a month or so. My daughter didn’t join in, which was the whole reason she came with me. I was surprised at the poses she had us do; some were potentially dangerous. The pathways were slippery, be careful! I even slipped and hurt myself outside my room. The location was lovely, surrounded by rice fields not far from Ubud centre. All meals were provided, so no need to worry about the next meal. The set menu had tasty options. The Balinese staff were amazing, especially Agung who always asked about my daughter when she was too unwell to come down for meals. Koko was an entertaining tour guide. The cultural experience was excellent, the highlight of the week for me. Other activities were good too, but the bike ride was challenging – I had a nasty fall but still enjoyed it. The staff were great at checking on my healing process, which I appreciated.

I had some troubles finding the location at first, but I had a really beautiful experience at the Firefly yoga retreat. The environment was perfect for retreat and healing, with beautiful nature surrounded by rice fields. It was so quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed every workshop led by the yoga teachers. I also loved the activities that introduced us to local life. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food was not only healthy but also delicious.

I couldn’t stay forever, but everything at the retreat was amazing! Ariel was very accommodating, Jamie was the best yoga teacher I’ve ever had – super chilled, down to earth, and a great motivator. Koko, Akun, and their team worked really hard to cook fantastic food and take us out on great days out. There were activities every day, you can walk to Ubud through the rice fields within 25 minutes, the yoga and meditation sessions were perfect, the food was insanely good, and the setting was perfect! It’s a little difficult to find, but so worth it – pure paradise! The rooms were clean, just remember you’re in the jungle, so expect some visitors. And the fireflies, living up to their name, were stunning!

The staff was amazing! They were accommodating and always had a smile on their faces. Such lovely people.

I have never come across such a filthy place in all my travels. Even a 1-star hotel in Cairo was cleaner. The cushions reeked of old sweat, there were blood stains on the duvet (with no cover), hair, faeces on the wall, dead bugs, and rubbish everywhere. Both rooms were disgusting.

We all slept terribly the first night and worried about getting sick from the food due to the lack of cleanliness. Every time someone walked past the open kitchen, the door was quickly closed. The communal toilet was located right next to the kitchen and dining area.

We tried to talk to the manager and owner Ariel to fix the issues but were told to come back tomorrow as he was on holiday. If it were my business and I lived 5 minutes away, I would definitely talk to unhappy guests. When we came back the next day, we spoke to Moshe who hid behind Ariel (who showed up long after we left). We couldn’t discuss a refund or anything with Moshe. We were willing to stay elsewhere and participate in activities, but negotiations were impossible. We only got the advice to read the cancellation policy. We didn’t cancel, we showed up. Yet, the resort failed to provide a healthy environment.

We hired a local interpreter and found out that Moshe is the owner but was avoiding us. Locals even knew that the buildings were not suitable for staying in! Bali and the location of the ‘resort’ are amazing and secluded, despite being a bit rugged (watch out for suitcase wheels). We were excited about the opportunity to spend around NZ$1200 for accommodation, food, yoga, and day trips for 4 adults for 7 days. It seemed like a great deal, but the reviews online were positive. We were prepared for something a little run-down at that price, which was okay. The local staff were friendly and helpful. We were looking forward to escaping the rat-race, the constant quest for material wealth, and the chance to simplify our lives and be more present.

We needed to sweep under the beds. Firefly had plenty of activities to keep us entertained. We never got bored! The balance between activity and leisure was perfect. The food? A solid 10/10! It was absolutely amazing!! The location is a bit remote so we couldn’t walk into the city, but honestly, we were too tired to go anywhere during our free time.

I found the meals lacking in protein since I’m not a vegetarian. The location was serene and beautiful, with an idyllic infinity pool. The itinerary for the week was absolutely incredible, and I can’t believe we were able to do everything included in the price. I loved the focus on local culture and traditions, as well as exploring the area. The yoga was challenging, but I really enjoyed it. The owner and staff here are absolutely amazing and clearly enjoy what they do. The breakfast was the best! The only thing you need to know about this ‘hidden gem’ is that it actually seems hidden. To get to the resort, take the tiny sidewalk to the right of the big house at the bottom of the hill (where there is no signage). Don’t worry – go up the hill and you will see the buildings across the rice fields when you get to the top!

It would be nice to have extra towels for the pool and more bed linen upon arrival. I requested another towel and sheet, and they were provided after washing was finished. The staff happily accommodated my request. The staff were incredible, the yoga was inspiring and fantastic. The location is breathtaking, and all the experiences are with local people in a small group setting, making it feel authentic. Koko and the Firefly team, thank you!

The tour guides were disorganized and unprofessional, especially during the cycle trip. They didn’t give us any information about the itinerary, like where we were going, what time, how difficult it would be, what to expect, or what to bring. Safety information was also lacking. As a result, 4 out of 6 people dropped out of the cycle tour. Despite all of that, the vibe was nice, customer care was good, and the location was nice.

I didn’t like that my room and bathroom were a bit dirty, so don’t expect a 5 star hotel. I loved this retreat from start to finish. I had a great experience overall. The staff members were very accommodating. Breakfast was really good, especially the home made peanut butter :)! You’ll love koko!

I couldn’t really find any faults with the program considering the price I paid, but don’t expect 5-star accommodations. The retreat offers fantastic value for the price paid. The accommodations are basic but sufficient, and they will do light cleaning if needed. The food is good, and I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet. The program is amazing with a great mix of scheduled activities and free time. I love how you don’t have to feel obligated to attend all of the scheduled programs. The pool in the serene setting is a bonus. I can’t say enough good things about this retreat. The staff at the retreat are also super friendly and helpful.

They organized everything perfectly! I didn’t have to think about a thing. The trip was so well planned, and I even got to experience the beautiful Balinese culture.

The resort needs to clean up a bit, spruce up the bathrooms, and make sure all rooms have AC or a fan, which disappointed some guests. But overall, I had an amazing time at the retreat and would definitely go back. I had a great crew to hang out with and accomplished a lot. The downtime was perfect, and it was nice that the town was so close by. All the experiences were fantastic, and the classes were great too. Plus, it was nice that you didn’t have to attend if you weren’t feeling up to it.

Everything was perfect.

I have nothing to complain about. The whole program was perfect – a great mix of down time, activities, and yoga. The staff were fantastic and very helpful, and the location is beautiful and peaceful with the best swimming pool! Even though I’m not a vegetarian, I thoroughly enjoyed the spread every day and the selection of food. I would recommend this retreat to everyone – it’s great value for money and one of the best weeks of my life.

It was super nice. A beautiful place perfect for enjoying the holidays and taking a break far from the routine. The staff was really good, there were plenty of activities, and the best part was the food 🙂

The air con isn’t working, but I really enjoyed the yoga practice with Marcia. She knows her stuff and is so giving. She’s like an old soul.

The earthquake wasn’t on the agenda It really exceeded my expectations! The accommodation is splendid, the food is delicious, there are diverse activities, and the staff takes great care of us. Plus, I met girls from all over the world. I’d sign up again without hesitation for a new adventure.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the activities were awesome! You could choose to be very busy and participate in everything or just relax. I loved the pool. The daily yoga was nice too.

I noticed that the AC in my room only blew out warm air. They promised a technician would fix it, but it never improved during my stay. I could have opened the windows, but then I’d have to deal with mosquitoes. It really made it difficult to sleep and work in my room. As far as I know, my room was the only one with this issue.

My first yoga retreat turned out to be amazing. The yoga was exactly what my body needed. The instructor patiently guided me through the poses. The meals were outstanding – they put a lot of effort into making, serving, and cleaning up delicious food. The guides were friendly, relatable, and remembered our names right away. The excursions they took us on were great, especially the Balinese Experience – definitely don’t miss that one, it exceeded our expectations! And the location? Absolutely stunning! So, so beautiful.

The hygiene was lacking, the room wasn’t very clean, and the tablecloths in the dining area were really dirty. They only cleaned minimally. It would have been nice to have a closed bathroom/yoga room to keep insects out. A working air conditioner is a must in this heat. And that was not the case. This retreat deserves a “Fair” for that, but a “Very Good” for everything else. The food, excursions, cooking classes, yoga, and bike tours were absolutely amazing!

Our room was not cleaned well and room service didn’t improve it after three times. The other rooms were cleaner. We didn’t like the rice field tour because it felt too fake. The retreat week was fantastic. Everyone was so caring and the staff was amazing. Marcia led some great Yoga sessions. The food was delicious. The infinity pool was a perfect spot to relax. The atmosphere was just right.

I honestly loved the retreat – it was amazing and I really can’t complain about anything for the money I paid. The food quantity was a bit low for me personally, but that’s probably because my metabolism is always running. Luckily, there were plenty of cheap places in Ubud center to grab some extra food, and ordering more food at the resort was cheap and tasty. The retreat is surrounded by beautiful rice paddies, giving all the villas stunning views.

The yoga atmosphere was relaxed and engaging, allowing people of all skill levels to work at their own pace. Having both morning and evening yoga classes gave us the chance to try out different types of yoga, and Márcia is an amazing instructor. The staff are kind and amazing, more like friends than just providing great service. The day excursions were genuine and interesting, not typical touristy outings. And if you wanted to skip an excursion or class and do your own thing, there was no judgment at all.

Overall, the place has a family vibe and the owners clearly care more about making people happy than making a ton of money, which makes it such a pleasant and relaxing environment.

On a personal note, I want to thank Koko, Ariel, and Márcia for the wonderful conversations and laughter. Wishing them and everyone else at the retreat all the best in the future!

The vegan food tasted really good, but a lot of the dishes didn’t have enough protein, so we ended up buying extra food for dinner. I really enjoyed the yoga program, which offered yoga classes, meditation, and self-reflection. I can’t believe I can’t remember the name of the instructor from Portugal (hopefully, I’ll get to visit soon). The infinity pool was amazing, and I swam in it every night. The staff was super friendly, nice, and always helpful. I loved their unlimited herbal tea so much that I started making it at home. I appreciated their recommendations for exploring the village.

I didn’t want to go home. I suggest they remove the stones from the shower – one night I stepped on one and had a bad fall. I really enjoyed the program – it kept us involved but also allowed us time to relax. The activities were interesting and authentic. We got a real taste for Balinese culture. The yoga practices and meditation were fulfilling and informative. The retreat’s location was quiet and relaxing, yet close enough to the city for a day trip. The staff, particularly Koko, were helpful, kind, and warm. We had a wonderful group of like-minded travelers and genuinely enjoyed our experiences together. It was the kind of vacation that grew to feel like home.

Nous aurions aimé que la chambre soit un peu mieux nettoyée. Et si on organisait une initiation à la langue balinaise et indonésienne ? J’ai vraiment adoré mon séjour au Firefly resort ! Le lieu est incroyable, niché au milieu des rizières. On a bien profité de la piscine et de la fraîcheur environnante. La nourriture est délicieuse, notamment les petits-déjeuners avec plein de fruits frais et des pancakes succulents. L’accueil est très attentionné et chaleureux, les excursions sont intéressantes et bien organisées. Les cours de yoga étaient aussi très enrichissants et nous ont plongés directement dans la pratique. Merci pour ce moment magique ! À bientôt !

I love the resort location! If you’re looking for some peace and relaxation, this is the perfect place. It’s a small and intimate spot in the middle of rice fields where you can actually see fireflies at night. The staff is kind and always willing to help and accommodate all your needs. You can join lots of interesting activities to discover the area and culture, and Ubud isn’t far – the staff can organize cars to take you to town or explore the surroundings. The food is freshly made and healthy. The yoga classes were relaxing and meditative. Personally, I prefer more challenging ones, but they were perfect for beginners and those who love slow and restorative practices. The schedule and facilities were perfect for our group of 7 people. We had the time and space to bond with each other and just relax on our own. I highly recommend it!

I loved everything about it. You can really feel the beautiful energy surrounding this place – it’s so quiet and peaceful. The accommodation is amazing, right in the middle of nature. The food is delicious, the classes and activities are top-notch, and the staff is so kind and friendly. I wish I could have stayed longer, it was such a beautiful experience. I would recommend it 100%. Thank you Ariel for this wonderful project.

The program didn’t do anything for me. This survey says I’m from Vietnam, but really I’m from the USA. The program really impressed me with its experiential activities that taught me so much about Bali culture and tradition. The staff provided excellent warm and caring service. The location and facilities really promoted tranquility and comfort, with a fabulous positive energy. The yoga instructor was deeply connected and provided yoga and meditation to help me get in touch with the needs of my body and spirit. The meals were delicious and organic. I got to enjoy a coconut a day. There was also free time to enjoy Ubud. Starting my Bali vacation with this program really enhanced the rest of my trip by giving me a deeper appreciation and understanding of Balinese culture.

The food was delicious, we could always choose from a wide variety of dishes for lunch and dinner. In the morning, there’s a tasty breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, homemade pancakes, cereal, bread, and spreads. Our room was lovely, with air conditioning and a fridge. The course program is very diverse and offers something for everyone 🙂

When I first arrived, I dragged my wheelie bag up the hill. Later, I discovered that some other guests had arrived on scooters and had no trouble reaching the entrance of the property. The serene atmosphere, created by both the location (in paddy fields about half an hour walk to Ubud market) and the hosts, was lovely. Ariel and Koko went out of their way to make the stay appealing to a wide range of guests in their quiet manner.

I enjoyed the Balinese Experience, which showcased many aspects of Balinese life, including visiting children in their classroom. The cooking class was a highlight, as well as the Cycling Tour, where we climbed slowly, stopping to see many things, and then had an all downhill return trip. Marcia offered a wide variety of yoga classes, along with meditation, chanting, and Chakra Dance, which I really enjoyed. I couldn’t believe that all of these activities were included in the very modest cost – amazing value!

I thought yoga was too repetitive and wished we could learn something new every day instead of repeating the same classes over and over. The views were amazing, with rice paddies stretching as far as the eye could see, and the rooms were really cozy with a beautiful pool. I also liked that the yoga studio was right next to a lush rainforest. All the staff were friendly and willing to assist.

It was challenging to find the location, but I had a wonderful time at this yoga retreat. The staff works so hard and I can’t say anything bad about them. I highly recommend this retreat, especially if you want to escape the crazy touristy downtown Ubud. This place is lovely and secluded.

It would be nice to have a mid week room clean, a savory breakfast choice with protein, and a tea or coffee making facility somewhere in the retreat would be appreciated. Coco, the host/manager, was amazing. The retreat offered fantastic activities every day and provided great value for money. The yoga sessions were well-tailored to the group’s level and excellent value for money. The food was great and getting a fresh coconut daily was a bonus.

Ils n’ont pas nettoyé la chambre en une semaine ! Les lavabos et la douche sont propres. L’emplacement est calme mais le centre d’Ubud est à 35 minutes de marche. Le staff est gentil et la piscine est super.

“The yoga here is very basic, so if you’re looking for advanced training, don’t come here. It’s more suited for beginners,” I would recommend.
The staff doesn’t communicate well with guests, so you’ll have to ask about everything. On the plus side, the location is lovely and the atmosphere is calm and relaxed. The food is healthy and delicious. The Balinese experience and bike rides were really enjoyable. I stayed in a cozy wooden room, but there were a lot of bugs.

I really enjoyed my stay here – everything is great! The location is peaceful and quiet, away from the busy Ubud center but still pretty easy to get to. Plus, the views of the rice fields and greenery are beautiful. The events are all well organized, and the host and staff are super friendly. The yoga course is perfect for beginners.

The location is very quiet in the middle of the rice paddies, the food is just excellent, local and very healthy. The activities offered are perfect for a first immersion in Bali.

The rooms do not have a hair dryer and bugs are sometimes present, but bugs are everywhere in Bali so you kind of have to learn to live with these little creatures. The friendly and helpful staff, the chance to see fireflies at night, the nice pool, the great food available, the Balinese cultural and natural experience, and the opportunity to meet beautiful people and make new friends are all things to look forward to.

I had a hard time finding the resort because there weren’t enough signs yet, but they assured me it’s on its way. The food didn’t have as much spice and flavor as other Balinese dishes I’ve tried, but it was still decent. The resort has stunning surroundings, with rice fields and fireflies in the evening. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the included excursions like the Balinese experience, cycling tour in Ubud, and cooking class were wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised by how much was included and the high quality of the activities. I felt like I got a lot of value for my money. The retreat was a great introduction to Balinese culture and a perfect first yoga retreat experience. It’s quite intimate, with room for only around 11 people. The yoga classes were suitable for both beginners and intermediate practitioners, with options for more advanced poses. The yoga teacher was fantastic, kind, and friendly. We tried different yoga styles like vinyasa, hatha, yin yoga, meditation, chanting, and ecstatic dance. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it.

I loved all the staff, food, and people I met! I didn’t expect to have such a great time! The excursions were a blast, and I really enjoyed my week away. I will definitely be recommending it to my friends.

Just like the rest of Bali, there are lots of mosquitoes here! Don’t forget your natural bug spray 🙂 The staff at Firefly Resort is amazing. They’re so friendly and always willing to help with a smile. The yoga instruction was authentic and suitable for all levels, which can be hard to come by. As a yoga teacher, I really appreciated that. The vegan-friendly food was absolutely delicious, and I couldn’t wait for each meal. It’s about a 30-minute walk to the main streets of Ubud, but you can also easily rent a scooter if you want to explore. I highly recommend this place!
