Retreat location

Bali is called “Bali” because its artistic and spiritual culture define the island. It’s a sensory delight with regular ceremonies that honor the cycle of life. Bali’s soul is Hinduism, with more than 20,000 temples scattered across the country. The locals, the Balinese, offer their prayers to the Gods three times a day, filling the villages with the scent of burning incense.

The upcoming Soulshine Bali Resort will be situated in Ubud, a city known as the cultural heart of Bali. This sprawling resort, spread across 4 acres, offers stunning views of Bali’s natural beauty. Ubud is famous for its generations of talented artisans. Wood and stone carvers, silversmiths, painters, batik makers, and weavers have honed their crafts here for years. These valuable skills are cherished and passed down through the generations.

During your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to explore ancient rice fields that have been harvested using traditional methods for thousands of years. You can also witness breathtaking fire dancers and embark on captivating temple tours. Your time in Ubud will not only be a feast for your senses but also a chance to immerse yourself in Bali’s rich cultural heritage.
